Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has welcomed the release of more details on how the Town Centre Regeneration Fund approved as part of the budget process will operate. The £60 million scheme will be open to a range of bodies including local authorities, Community Planning Partnerships, Business Improvement Districts, Town Centre Managers, local Chambers of Commerce, businesses and third sector groups.
Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:
“Our high streets are the heart of Banff & Buchan’s towns and I am delighted that more progress has been made towards ensuring they have a bright future at the centre of our communities.
“The SNP Government is continuing to take action to protect our local communities from the effects of the downturn. Along with the small business bonus, this scheme will help ensure that town centres in Banff & Buchan are able to survive the current problems and retain their important place in everyday life.
“I am hopeful that we will see several successful bids from organisations in Banff & Buchan and that this will have a real impact on the future of towns in the area”.
