21/22 Business Plan published
|
|
|
We have just published our 2021/22 Business Plan.
Recognising the long-term trends of climate emergency, digitalisation and demographic change, and sharing themes with Scottish Government’s recently published Infrastructure Investment Plan 2021-26, we have set three corporate priorities which are clear to see throughout the Plan, to:
- Enable the transition to net zero emissions
- Drive inclusive economic growth
- Build resilient and sustainable places
As in previous years we have set many ambitious goals which can only be achieved through collaboration with others.
For the year ahead I and everyone at SFT are very much looking forward to building on the successful and strong relationships we have developed to bring about improved outcomes, helping us towards our vision of world-class infrastructure for the people of Scotland.

|
|
|
|
Work to develop a new £35.5 million leisure centre in Ayr is progressing following South Ayrshire Council’s appointment of hub South West and Tier 1 contractor BAM Construction.
The new leisure complex, which is expected to revitalise the town centre by bringing more economic activity into the area, will replace some of the services currently provided by the existing Citadel Leisure Centre located at Ayr Harbour.
Sited in the centre of Ayr, the project will create a major public building for the people of South Ayrshire. The inclusive development will enable people to be more active more often, and will target improvements to the community’s social, mental, and physical wellbeing.
