Preparing a public funding application to support leveling up efforts

Looking to breathe new life into Drumchapel town center, Glasgow City Council (GCC) had plans to revitalize the area and boost the local economy. The project aims to deliver enhanced community facilities, improve accessibility and connectivity by bringing new walking and cycling routes as well as innovative projects to tackle flooding issues and further develop local greenspace. GCC engaged our Development Economics team to help secure funding that would make the project a reality.

To support the scheme, the Council and our team developed a bid that successfully secured £15 million ($19 million) in funding in the third round of the Levelling Up Fund—the UK Government’s program to invest in infrastructure that improves residents’ everyday life by regenerating town centers, upgrading local transportation, and investing in cultural and heritage assets. GCC’s scheme links to community hub investment proposed for the area and will include public spaces and active travel improvements to create new walking and cycling routes.

Now fully funded, GCC’s scheme can be developed to provide economic, environmental, and social benefits for the entire local community in Drumchapel.
