Murdo has welcomed funding of more than half a million pounds being given to Blairgowrie and Rattray Community Football Trust from the UK Government.
He is delighted at the announcement of £510,000 which will go towards a new pavilion at Davie Park in Rattray, Blairgowrie.
From Ayrshire to Aberdeenshire, 40 projects are to receive funding that will go towards facilities such as changing rooms and pavilions, state of the art 3G artificial grass pitches and new floodlights. Work is already underway on 30 of these projects, with the remaining 10 to commence shortly. The projects will benefit from £6 million from the UK Government in 2023/24, with £5.4 million already allocated from next year’s overall budget.
Commenting, Murdo said: “This is fantastic news that the UK Government Grassroots Sports fund has provided £510,000 towards the cost of building a new changing pavilion at Davie Park, Rattray. This will be warmly welcomed by everyone involved with Blairgowrie and Rattray Community Football Trust and local residents as well.
“It is a massive boost for the area.”
