Question
To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the Scottish National Party manifesto commitment to spend £275 million via the National Infrastructure Mission on community-led regeneration and town centre revitalisation, whether it will provide a detailed breakdown of how much funding was allocated to (a) associated projects and (b) each local authority.
Answer
To deliver this commitment, the Scottish Government established the Place Based Investment Programme (PBIP) in 2021 to accelerate ambitions for place, 20-minute neighbourhoods, town centre action, community led regeneration and community wealth building. This includes the continued delivery of the £25 million per annum Regeneration Capital Grant Fund (RCGF), support for Clyde Gateway urban regeneration company to help deliver their 20-year operating plan, and £140 million delivered directly to all local authorities over 5 years.
PBIP funding allocated to each local authority for the first 3 years of the programme 2021- 2023 is provided in the following table: It is up to each local authority how they allocate funding to specific projects, within the terms of the PBIP grant award and related criteria.
