SCAMP Becomes First Recipient of New National Lottery Fund

Lodged by Finlay Carson (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 28 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates SCAMP, a Dumfries and Galloway Council initiative, on it becoming the first recipient of the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s Landscape Connections initiative, after receiving £8 million from the £150 million pot; recognises that the award will support the coastal and marine environment to thrive in the near future; acknowledges that the 210-mile stretch of the Solway Coast offers a spectacular diversity of stunning scenery, from salt marsh to sea cliffs, and sandy beaches to sheltered coves; understands that its beauty is not only recognised in Scotland but around the world; notes that a recent WWF report revealed that the UK’s muddy saltmarshes are vital for tackling climate change, while the Solway Firth’s rich natural heritage has supported communities along its length since the earliest settlement, and believes that this financial boost will deliver large-scale, long-term, meaningful change for the environment and its people, which is vitally important now and in the future.
