A community radio station has hit the decks running after a £5000 grant helped put it on the air in South Lanarkshire.
Avondale Radio Station has proved an instant hit with the community of Strathaven and its surrounding villages and has grown from a standing start to 14,000 listeners within just three months of its launch.
The radio station hit the airwaves after being awarded a grant from Banks Renewables’ Kype Muir Wind Farm community fund, which was designed to support local communities so that they can share the benefits from Banks’ developments in the area.
