The Maybole Regeneration Project is beginning to pick up momentum with the Town Hall refurbishment scheme to start just after the local elections in early May, the Charity Shop being out to tender and a new grant scheme for shop front improvements set to start in April 22nd. The town centre will soon be very busy with works. The Maybole Active Travel High Street Scheme , subject to funders approval for summer 2022 tender with works planning to start  towards end of summer. We will be working with businesses to minimise disruption during the construction phase which will be up to 14 months. The scheme to bring Maybole Castle back into use is also looking to start in the summer and with the bypass now open schemes on the High Street can now accelerate.  Our Activities and Training programme continues to grow with over 350 people having been engaged in various projects and further training offered to local contractors – see below for more information. We hope to finally open our project office by Spring making the team will be available to meet and discuss the project and its programmes. Please do visit our Facebook and Twitter pages for up to date news on progress.

Small Grants Scheme

The small grant scheme continues to progress with many of our overall building and shopfront schemes now in development. Our small grants scheme has also now been complimented by the Ambition Shopfront Scheme which has supported 11 business owners in making improvements to their premises such as repairs, decoration and signage.

We hope that another round of this funding is available again next year to build on the improvements that business owners have been able to make to their premises.

With life getting back to some semblance of normality- the Activities Programme has suddenly taken a leap forward. It is going to be a very busy time ahead, with lots of projects going live over the year! Recently, we have had lots of activities with schools and an increasing online presence, including our evening talks.
