Fife Council Leader Councillor David Ross has welcomed the news that the City of Dunfermline will receive a £5 million investment from the UK Government for culture and regeneration projects.
The Levelling Up funding announced by the UK Govt yesterday, recognises the opportunities for enhanced regeneration, following on from the award of city status in 2022.
Councillor Ross said: "I welcome this very positive news of £5 million funding to invest in the long-term future of Dunfermline.
"This funding will make a significant contribution to improving the long-term prospects of the city and help secure its rich history and culture for generations to come.
"The council has been working with local community organisations, businesses and the third sector for some time in an effort to help support their ambitious plans for the social and economic future for Dunfermline. Through our city conference last year, and development of a city plan, we have been working to secure investment like this.
"We all recognise the positive impact of culture in the community and we are confident that there is a bright future for Dunfermline city. I look forward to working with businesses and residents to maximise the impact and opportunity this investment will have."
