Following an overwhelming response to the Community Environmental Renewal Scheme (CERS), Forward Scotland is delighted to announce that Ministers have now revealed the names of the successful applicants in the second round of the 2007-2008 scheme.

The grant scheme, managed by Forward Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government, will invest £500,000 in 16 local communities (affected by quarrying) to help improve and sustain their environments. 

When making the announcement the Environment Minister Michael Russell said: "this grant scheme supports our objective of creating a greener Scotland - by improving Scotland's natural and built environment and the sustainable use and enjoyment of it."  

Projects include the redevelopment of a disused allotment in Tillicoultry, a family play area in Glenrothes and the creation of a multi-use games area in Inverness.
