Scottish Rural Development Programme-Public Meeting tonight

[Hels]

I've not seen much publicity surrounding the above, but thought I'd flag it up.

Meeting is tonight in the Argyll Hotel in Bellochantuy, 7.30pm

There is £1.6bn available across Scotland from 2007-2013, primarily for land based development, including forestry, agriculture and community. Funding is mainly European. The 3 strands are as follows:

Axis 1 - Improving the competitiveness of the agricultural and forestry sector
Axis 2 - Improving the environment and the countryside
Axis 3 - Improving the quality of life in rural areas and diversification of the rural economy

Take a look at the website - fairly informative with a pretty good wee film that gives you the flavour of what they aim to acheive with this funding. Brochures can also be ordered via the website
