UP to £350,000 is to be invested into the Grangemouth Stadium to make it wind and watertight as well as statutory-compliant.
The commitment from Falkirk Council comes as it prepares to the transfer the venue to Grangemouth Community Sports Trust, which will enable continued access to the venue for the local community.
In support of the longer-term asset transfer of the stadium, up to £1 million of funding to undertake further improvements will be considered by councillors at the local authority’s budget meeting on March 6.
Councillor Cecil Meiklejohn, leader of Falkirk Council, said, “Securing the immediate future of Grangemouth Stadium is a major achievement, and reflects our commitment to work collaboratively with partners to deliver sustainable solutions for the buildings we can no longer afford to operate. I want to thank all involved for their hard work in getting us to this stage. The agreement ensures the athletics community and local community can continue to access to the facilities while work progress on the asset transfer.”
