The motion

That the Parliament commends Fir Park Corner FC for its significant progress towards regenerating the Overtown Sports Pitch and Pavilion on Castlehill Road; understands that the club acquired the ground through the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015, and purchased the facility through fundraising; recognises that this grassroots club, with multiple teams and ages, aims to transform the facility into a hub for local sports and community events; acknowledges the strong community support behind this initiative, with over 350 locals expressing enthusiasm for the club’s plans; notes that Fir Park Corner FC has applied for £100,000 in community asset funding to improve essential features, such as plumbing, roofing, and grounds, which it believes would be monumental for this community; wishes the club every success as it collaborates with the local authority on what it sees as this impactful community project; thanks all the volunteers and the committee for their continued support of the project, and wishes them all the best for the future.
