Alex Neil, Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure and Capital Investment has announced £350,000 to support Clydebank Re-built Urban Regeneration Company (URC) to deliver much needed workshop space at Clydebank East.

Working through the West HubCo, Clydebank Re-built will use the funding from the Scottish Government to leverage in a further £250,000 from other public sector and private sector organisations. With existing funding in place, this new allocation will take the budget for the project to £2.1 million.

Alex Neil said: "Community regeneration remains a significant platform of our Regeneration Strategy and today’s announcement reflects our commitment to support communities to make a difference locally.

"Clydebank Re-built is addressing a fundamental need locally to create more workshop space and this project will go some way to meeting the demand. As we continue to encourage an entrepreneurial spirit and new business start-ups, we need to put the infrastructure in place to support business generation, jobs and economic growth."
