£100,000 Funding Boost for Ythan Community Trust
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Ythan Community Trust on receiving £100,000 from Aberdeenshire Council’s allocation of the first tranche of marine-sourced funding from the Scottish Crown Estate; notes that, as part of the devolution settlement, revenue generated from the Crown Estate’s marine assets within inshore waters now accrues to the Scottish Government, which in turn devolves a proportion to the 32 local authorities; understands that the Ythan Community Trust will use the award to help improve disabled access and parking at Newburgh Links to support the increasing number of people coming to the area to view the grey seals that gather at the estuary; commends the Ythan Community Trust for its continuing efforts to improve access at the Newburgh Links to encourage viewing of the seals without disturbing the animals, and wishes all involved well.
