SKDT have been awarded £2,500 “stalled spaces” grant by Argyll and Bute Council.
This innovative project seeks to empower communities and help them reconnect with their own particular area, building relationships with both the renovated community space and with neighbours and colleagues.
The Campbeltown project, run by the South Kintyre Development Trust with partners Campbeltown Community Orchard & Garden (CCOG) and Argyll and Bute Council Adult Learning and Youth Services, KYES and Argyll College UHI,
will decorate the gateway into the town using plants and landscaping along a marine and fishery theme.
An SKDT spokeswoman said “ We want to set a standard that shows the wider community that the visible appearance of the area is achievable by enhancing local unused spaces through flowering displays and landscaping which will increase local pride.”
It's inspiring to see the Stalled Spaces Funding being put to such creative use in Campbeltown. The focus on enhancing unused areas to boost community pride resonates with many towns facing similar challenges. I'm curious, how do you plan to engage local residents in the decoration process? Also, I often think about how community initiatives like these can foster connections, similar to how I engage with others in my Tomodachi Life community through shared experiences.
