The First Minister said:

This is an opportunity for me and my Cabinet to meet businesses, community groups and local residents in the Clyde Gateway area, including young people in this Year of Young People.”

 

Well that was quite a day! Huge thanks to all our partners who made the @NicolaSturgeon @scotgov and the #travellingcabinet visit such a success yesterday. Few pics of why #ThisIsThePlace pic.twitter.com/MXxdPR3k5k

Clyde Gateway is Scotland’s biggest regeneration programme covering 840 hectares in the east end of Glasgow and Rutherglen.

While visiting Clyde Gateway, the First Minister announced £5.5 million investment for the regeneration programme to help create jobs and attract private investment to the area.

Announcing the funding, the First Minister said:

This funding underlines the Scottish Government’s long-term commitment to Clyde Gateway over the term of this Parliament. It will act as a catalyst for investment and deliver a physical, social and economic transformation of what has historically been one of the most deprived areas in Scotland.

“Clyde Gateway has worked tirelessly to tackle inequalities, while establishing and maintaining excellent relationships with the local community, playing a huge part in making it a fantastic location for people to live and businesses to locate.”

Cabinet Secretaries also took part in a full day of events to mark a decade of investment in the area.
