P站色情片 has welcomed the success of a 拢500,000 fund in attracting new residents and jobs to the area.
At the meeting this week of the Policy and Resources Committee, councillors reviewed a report on the economic impact of the Rural Resettlement Fund which showed that 193 new residents, including 56 children, relocated to P站色情片 and Bute thanks to Fund support.
Of that number, 18 people with families relocated to take up a job on one of our islands, resulting in 53 new inhabitants in these communities across P站色情片 and Bute.
The impact of the Fund on the P站色情片 and Bute economy is estimated at just over 拢1.95 million with skills attracted to the area to fill 75 new and existing jobs.
The Fund was formally launched in 2016 and closed for new applications in May last year. It was particularly targeted at encouraging economically active people and young families relocating, returning or staying in P站色情片 and Bute to take up employment
In total, the Fund inspired 111 applications with 79 grants being awarded. All applicants were asked to give a reason for their relocation with the most common answer being the work/life balance in P站色情片 and Bute.
Councillor Aileen Morton, Leader of P站色情片 said:
鈥淭he council created the Rural Resettlement Fund to help attract people and jobs to the area and that鈥檚 exactly what it鈥檚 done.
P站色情片 and Bute offers a fantastic lifestyle, and opportunities for business success - the range of award winning businesses based here is testament to that. For the area to thrive long term however, we need to grow our population.
While the lifestyle and natural resources of P站色情片 and Bute have been the key attraction, the Fund has played a key part in inspiring families to make the move, which is good news for both our mainland and island communities.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish our new residents happiness and success in P站色情片 and Bute.鈥
