East Dunbarton Council has announced the deadline for the first round of Stalled Spaces Scotland applications.

The Stalled Spaces Scotland scheme is a Legacy 2014 programme inspired by Stalled Spaces Glasgow, supported by Architect and Design Scotland (A+DS) along with the Scottish Government.

A total of £30,000 is available as small grants to encourage the temporary use of stalled development sites and under-used green spaces along with vacant and derelict land.

Councillor Alan Moir, Convener of Development and Regeneration, said: "We hope the small grants will help to revitalise areas which were previously derelict or disused - giving the community a sense of ownership and boosting social regeneration."
