The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Vibrant Gala Project on winning in the Improving Scotland's Places category of the 2023 SURF Awards; understands that the SURF Awards identify and celebrate best practice, innovation and achievement in interventions that improve Scottish communities; notes that the Vibrant Gala Project, led by the community-based Energise Galashiels Trust, responded to the decline of Galashiels town centre by creating a more vibrant and welcoming place through a wide range of community-led projects and events over the last three years; understands that the project was felt to demonstrate the value of a long-term approach to regeneration, with dedicated partners working strategically and inclusively to develop comprehensive plans and deliver real and sustainable benefits for all, and pays credit to those behind the Vibrant Gala Project for what it sees as this outstanding achievement.
