Scottish Parliament Written Question
S6W-25980
Thursday 14th March 2024

Asked by: McCall, Roz (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - Mid Scotland and Fife)

Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the progress of the City Centre Recovery Task Force.

Answered by Lochhead, Richard - Minister for Small Business, Innovation, Tourism and Trade

The City Centre Recovery Task Force published a report of their findings ( At the Heart of Economic Transformation: Report of the City Centre Recovery Task Force, 2021-22 (wpengine.com) ) in March 2022 which identified a number of priority outcomes to work towards over a five year period. The Scottish Government is currently working with Scottish cities, via the Scottish Cities Alliance ( Scottish Cities Alliance ) to progress work in two of these key areas:

  • Priority area 1: Increased residential capacity and occupancy and
  • Priority area 3: Reducing the amount of vacant and derelict land and property.

Scottish Government’s low carbon Vacant and Derelict Land Investment Programme is investing nearly £10m in 2023-24 and over £8m in 2024-25 supporting projects that will bring vacant and derelict land back into positive use to benefit communities and help tackle climate change. This is in addition to the Vacant and Derelict Land Fund which will see the five eligible local authorities receive a share of £5m investment in 2024-25.

The Scottish Cities Alliance have recently launched a Peer-to-Peer network built around the strategic objectives in the City Centre Recovery Taskforce Report, with the aim of:

  • Sharing knowledge and best practice from Scottish and international cities drawing on expertise from academia and the private and third sectors; and
  • Identifying and agreeing opportunities for future collaborative action.

The programme of knowledge exchange activity has been co-developed by the Alliance partners with Innovate UK, the Built Environment-Smarter Transformation Innovation Centre and the Connected Places Catapult to leverage in experience from wider UK and Irish Cities as well as research and knowledge exchange networks.
