Arngask Primary School has received a renewables project cash boost.
A £2,029 contribution from RWE Innogy UK’s Lochelbank Wind Farm community fund, TRACKS, (The Rural Access Committee of Kinross-shire) will help create a safe walking route in Glenfarg.
The village path running from Greenbank Road to the top of Greenbank Crescent will now be a safe, traffic-free route for pupils walking to Arngask Primary School and for residents going to the village shop.
George Lawrie, project officer said: “The objective of TRACKS is to promote, construct and restore a network of footpaths, cycle tracks and bridleways within the Kinross-shire and Glenfarg area to encourage greater participation in activities like walking and cycling.
“Not all of these paths are rural, and this award will contribute towards the creation of a safe, traffic-free route for young people in Glenfarg to walk or cycle to school.”
A further three awards were made to Glenfarg and Duncrievie in Bloom, Dunbarney and Forgandenny Parish Church and Bridge of Earn Bowling Club.
Katy Woodington, RWE Innogy UK’s community investment manager said: “I am delighted that the panel has chosen projects that are not only practical but also one that creates the opportunity for Glenfarg residents to move about more safely.
“The flexibility of the fund means that it can address what is really useful within a community and that relatively small amounts of funding, mixed with positive ideas, really can make a difference to the villages around our renewables’ schemes.”
