  • Overview of Allocated Funding
    Overview of allocated funding A combined total of £979,625 has been awarded to 116 community groups and workplaces through the Cycling Friendly programme with a further £821,991 awarded to registered social landlords across Scotland for improvement facilities to promote walking and cycling. More than 90,000 people will benefit from the funding. Setting Number funded Amount funded People impacted Community groups 48 £536,737 Data not collected Employers 68 £442,888 27,500 Social housing 33 £821,991 62,119 providers Total 149 £1,801,616 89,619 Kath Brough, Head of Behaviour Change at Cycling Scotland said: “We’re delighted to announce funding to 149 organisations across Scotland to encourage more people to cycle. Cycling Scotland work closely with partners to help employers, community groups and housing associations take advantage of the benefits of cycling and this round of funding will provide opportunity for over 90,000 people across Scotland to access improved cycling facilities.” Elderbank Housing Association, based in Govan, Glasgow, will receive £25,000 to install cycle parking for the 2,700 residents living across their properties, where currently there is no cycle parking. Jim Fraser, Estate Management Inspector, said “lack of storage has been a key issue for residents, especially those in older tenement buildings, so installing bike parking will remove a significant barrier to the uptake in bike ownership and cycling as a healthy activity. Govan is well established as an area of high deprivation and residents can often be found to have low household income and higher levels of household debt. This can impact greatly on people’s ability to access public transport beyond a limited geographical area and frequency due to a lack of sufficient finance.

A year later, the championships were held for both men and women. The championships, held on Perth’s 154-metre track, were held for 5 years before falling into abeyance. During that time, the championships saw the emergence of future Olympic gold medallist Allan Wells, a Scottish title winner in 1974 – not in the 60 metres, but in the long jump. After a 10-year absence, the championships returned in 1987, held on a portable track erected at the Ingliston Exhibition Centre in Edinburgh. With the opening of an international standard 200 metres track at the Kelvin Hall in Gillian Cooke, winner of 19 medals - photo by Bobby Gavin Glasgow later that year, the championships found a new home and were held annually at the new venue from 1988 to 2012. The Kelvin Hall arena changed indoor athletics in Scotland, attracting the first British international match (v France) on 6 February 1988 and staging the European Indoor Championships in 1990.
