£1.5M over two years has been allocated for North Lanarkshire.
There are three core objectives underpinning the funding:
- Community Spaces: investing in community facilities gives local people greater control over the spaces that matter to them. Refurbishing or taking ownership of underused but valued buildings.
- Public Spaces: enhancing public spaces, for example playparks, streetscape, signage, public art – encouraging people to spend time outdoors, build relationships and take part in local activities.
- High Street and Town Centre Revitalisation: making town and city centres more attractive and welcoming, attracting people and supporting local businesses and economies.
Currently funding is being allocated to projects at Palacerigg Country Park, Wishawhill Pump Track and to support Community Asset Transfer projects.
