The most recent information from the Scottish Government on the transfer of the community services and facilities option from Rural Priorities to LEADER suggests that it might take place later than previously thought. The option was recently proposed for transfer (see previous article), but a decision has been made to continue to accept and process applications under Rural Priorities for now. That means that applicants who meet the January deadlines can continue to have their applications assessed at the March committee meetings. Projects in development should continue to follow the Rural Priorities guidance until further information is announced. You can find further details here.
