The donation from the Cycling Facilities Fund aims to improve Scotland’s cycling infrastructure. Toilets and storage containers will be installed at the hub to support wider community access for sport and physical activity in the area and allow greater use for coaching and youth participation.
The fund, administered by sportscotland and Scottish Cycling, aims to help provide accessible community and club facilities that inspire new and existing cyclists to make cycling a sport for life. The investment has been made through a £4million commitment from the Scottish Government and £4million from sportscotland through National Lottery funds.
“Accessible facilities are vital to ensuring more people across Scotland are given the opportunity to experience the ‘power of the bike’ and enjoy the many benefits to their physical, social and mental wellbeing that come with cycling.”
