The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Glentrool and Bargrennan Community-led Housing and Regeneration Project on being shortlisted in the Housing and Regeneration category of the prestigious 2023 SURF Awards for Best Practice in Community Regeneration, which identifies and celebrates best practice, innovation and achievement in interventions that improve Scottish communities; notes that this project was led by the Glentrool and Bargrennan Community Trust, which worked with a range of partners to re-develop the former village school into the Glentrool Hive, a multi-purpose community centre for the local area with self-catering visitor accommodation, and to renovate long-term empty homes to provide additional family homes for Glentrool and ensure that the community remains sustainable and viable; welcomes what it sees as the positive impact that this project has had on Glentrool and Bargrennan, which are two rural communities nestled in the Galloway Hills; thanks and congratulates all who supported this project, and wishes the Trust well for the 2023 SURF Awards, which will be announced on 7 December 2023, and for its ongoing work in the Glentrool and Bargrennan area.
