Rosslyn Chapel visitor centre lands revamp grant
ROSSLYN Chapel's visitor centre and a city play park are among the projects to benefit from a cash windfall from the Landfill Communities Fund.
The environmental body, WREN, has shared out 132,555 among four schemes in Edinburgh and Midlothian. Landfill operators can divert money from their annual landfill tax bill to projects to benefit the community.
This included 50,000 towards a refurbishment at the chapel's visitor and education centre. Another 40,505 was given to Colinton Mains Play Park to buy new play equipment.
A boardwalk and interpretation signs are set to be upgraded in the Pentland Hills, following a grant of 27,755. Howgate Kirk will benefit from a 14,295 internal upgrade and new audio system.
Caroline Sanderson, project manager for WREN in Edinburgh & Midlothian, said: "WREN funding is focused on community-based projects."
Organisations and community groups can find out how to apply for funds at www.wren.org.uk.
