The UK Government is to fund a new lifeline ferry service for a remote Scottish island. The Government will give £26.8m to provide a new, lifeline roll-on, roll-off ferry for Fair Isle in Shetland.
It is one of ten Scottish infrastructure projects which have landed more than £177million in support from the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund. There were hundreds of applications for the scheme.
Other successful bids include £19.4m to demolish the A78 dual carriageway to transform Greenock town centre and £9m for the demolition and regeneration of two shopping centres in Cumbernauld.
