The Council's Environment & Regeneration Committee will be asked at its next meeting on 17 January to approve grants for community facilities totalling nearly £200,000. These are the latest awards from the Council's £1.2m Community Facilities Grant Fund.
Among the groups set to benefit are:
Glenpark Harriers Athletic Club - £10,156 for repairs to their clubhouse
Quarrier's Village Council - £41,000 to install a lift and disabled toilets in Sommerville Weir Hall
East End United Boys Club - £37,500 to convert a Council bothy at Lady Octavia Park into new changing rooms
REACH for Autism - £37,950 to refurbish premises for a new service for children with autism.
These are all worthwhile projects, which I am sure the Committee will be keen to support.
As a Councillor for Quarrier's Village I very much welcome the proposed grant to make Sommerville Weir Hall accessible to people with disabilities. This will compliment the recent refurbishment of the hall funded by Quarriers and a local benefactor, creating a community facility for the whole village.
