The work that can now be carried out include painting Cambuslang Park’s railings along with the refurbishment of the Toll Pitch Pavillion.

And the Women’s Wellbeing Collective community group are to receive funding for their Community Wealth Building programme.

Funding for the investment is a result of the administration budget passed by the council earlier this year, with an additional £50,000 allocated to each of the 20 council wards. Councillors in each ward were asked to come up with proposals for how the new Local Action Fund should be spent, with final decisions to be taken by the Executive Committee.

The first proposals were unanimously agreed at a meeting of the Executive Committee.

In the Cambuslang West Ward, the local councillors agreed to split the funding between several projects – the three main ones being £4000 to paint the railings at Cambuslang Park, £20,000 to refurbish the Toll Pitch Pavillion and £20,000 is to be given to the Women’s Wellbeing Collective community group for its Community Wealth Building.

The remaining £6000 of the ward’s funding allocation is being considered for a community skips project or if that is not possible then other community projects will be considered once the final costs of the painting and refurbishment projects are confirmed.

Council Leader Joe Fagan said: “The Local Action Fund was agreed as part of our Building Back Budget and is designed to help each community with projects that might not cost a lot of money but can have a lasting and worthwhile impact for everyone who lives there.

“Local councillors will be able to gauge from their constituents where the money could be best spent, and I am delighted that we have agreement for how the money should be spent in 13 of the 20 council wards, with the others to follow in due course.

“The projects in Cambuslang West will benefit everyone in the local community.”

The elected members for Cambuslang West, Ward 13, are Councillor John Bradley, Councillor Norman Rae and Councillor Margaret B Walker.
