The motion

That the Parliament recognises that the Pilkington Buildings in Penicuik have been awarded over £330,000 for high-priority repair work; understands that the Grade A-listed buildings, which were designed and built in 1860 by the prominent high-Victorian architect, Frederick Thomas Pilkington, were awarded the money as part of the Penicuik Heritage Regeneration Project ,which is funded by the National Lottery, Historic Environment Scotland and Midlothian Council; notes that the funds will be divided between the different properties that comprise the buildings and will cover repairs for the roof, chimneys, dormer windows, guttering and downpipes; recognises the need to support town centres, and hopes that the regeneration work will bolster Penicuik’s local economy.
