Tay Cities Clean Growth

This Privacy Notice sets out the specific requirements for the Tay Cities Clean Growth Community. The Community is enabled by this digital platform.

The Tay Cities Clean Growth Community was established in 2020 to bring together public bodies, organisations delivering Clean Growth projects, businesses, the third sector and community representatives to deliver clean growth projects with a place-based focus in the Tay Cities region of Scotland. Tay Cities region includes Angus Council, Dundee City Council, Fife Council and Perth & Kinross Council areas. The partnership brings multiple organisations together who have a remit to deliver clean growth projects and activities in this region and who want to make a positive difference to the regional economy and the region; the ambition of the Clean Growth Community pushes them to go beyond that their project remit and add value to their work by working collaboratively.

1. Purpose of the processing and the legal basis for the processing:

Fife Council will use the information provided by you to gain your input to and inform the development of the Tay Cities Clean Growth Community and its associated projects. These projects aim to deliver the clean growth vision for Tay Cities.

Tay Cities Region will be an inclusive, vibrant and net-zero carbon economy by 2045. On our journey the region will become the location of choice for companies to test, demonstrate and roll out innovations in clean growth that will combat climate change and generate economic prosperity. We will align our passion, skills, innovation assets and places behind this overarching goal.

The information provided by you will enable us to keep communities, stakeholders, and project owners aware of clean growth activities in the region.  Members of the Tay Cities Clean Growth Community
