The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Border Raiders Cycle Speedway Club on receiving £121,618 from sportscotland’s Cycling Facilities Fund towards a new short track facility at Tweedbank Sports Complex in Galashiels, a project worth £243,236; notes that the facility will provide a permanent home for the club, reduce the need for participants to travel to Edinburgh and support growth in membership; welcomes the club’s work with schools, young people and additional needs groups, and its plans to develop pathways from youth to adult and across performance levels; notes that the £8 million fund, which was established following the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships with support from the Scottish Government, sportscotland and National Lottery funds, has so far supported 47 facilities with over £18 million of investment, and believes that this is helping to create a lasting legacy by encouraging participation in cycling for people of all ages and abilities.
