Welcome investment in Rural Growth Deal

Cllr Gary Mulvaney

The council were delighted to hear that UK government have backed our rural growth deal with £50million cash investment confirmed from Westminster and Holyrood.

Prime Minister Johnson initially flagged up the potential of a deal in a visit to Faslane early in his premiership.

Our officers have done a great job in building the case for this long term transformative investment and the council and partners will now work to prioritise the individual projects.

None of these monies are available for normal day to day council spending. We welcome the investment nonetheless.
