The Community Cycling Fund is initially a two-year programme funded by sportscotland and EventScotland and in partnership with the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships. It is made up of two separate funding opportunities with investment awarded separately.

The development strand of the fund is administered by sportscotland. This investment will be distributed to all 32 local authorities, through sportscotland’s existing local authority integrated investment processes, to support cycling activity in their area. Awards will range from approximately £5,000 to £33,500 per authority per year, depending on population and levels of deprivation.To date, sportscotland has invested £69,274 across four local authorities and we expect further investment to be issued to local authorities in the coming months. Local authorities have the flexibility to use the fund to meet local needs, building on what is already in place, and responding creatively to what communities want. Engagement between sportscotland and each local authority will take place during the planning stage, prior to any funding request.

The events strand of the fund is administered by EventScotland. The first round of funding has resulted in a commitment of £160,000 to successful events throughout Scotland. The second round of funding is currently open to applications, until 16 November. The events strand is an open fund for local authorities and other organisations to apply, however non-local authority organisers can only apply with the endorsement of their local authority.

The 2023 revaluations in Scotland and England will for the first time have different tone dates following the Scottish Government’s acceptance of the independent Barclay Review of Non-Domestic Rates’ recommendation to move to three yearly revaluations and a one-year tone date. This inevitably results in direct comparison between the two systems being less meaningful than in the past with Scottish rateable values more accurately reflecting contemporary market circumstances.

The Scottish Budget will set out non-domestic rates measures including the poundage, supplements and reliefs that will apply in 2023-24 based upon draft values which will be published for the first time on 30 November 2022 but it will only be possible to accurately calculate the impact of different tax rates and supplements on individual sectors when final rateable values are published on 1 April 2023.
