Grangemouth and Bo’ness Town Centres’ Digital Upgrade
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes funding of £1,976,000 from the Scottish Government’s Town Centres Fund, which will provide much needed investment in Grangemouth and Bo’ness by 2020; notes that plans for the use of this funding include providing free wi-fi in both town centres, with Grangemouth also benefitting from the progression of the Making Places initiative to improve the town centre alongside local landowners and communities, while Bo’ness will see investment in its library to enhance access, including the installation of a lift in the building where the only access to the second floor is by an external staircase; recognises the work of Falkirk Council’s current administration in bringing about positive and transformative change in Falkirk district with its ambitious plans for town centres and community-led facilities for the benefit of those communities; looks forward to seeing Grangemouth and Bo’ness becoming digital towns, and encourages more positive engagement and delivery in these areas in the future.
