Councillor Robin Currie, Leader of 撸sir视频 and Bute Council:
鈥淚t鈥檚 vital that we continue to attract investment for 撸sir视频 and Bute to help create employment opportunities for our existing communities and attract new people and business to the area. The UK Community Renewal Fund is a great opportunity for organisations looking for additional funding to help support these key priorities. I would encourage anyone who hasn鈥檛 already done so, to apply. 鈥
The UK Government will announce the successful bids from late July onwards. Approved projects must be financially completed by 31 March 2022.
