Projects to improve Drymen

By Lorna Young, Drymen Community Council, on 06 October 2006

We have received a small amount of funding £680 which has a time limit and must be used for a specific project. We are keen to seek ideas as to what this money could be used for. Ideas so far: Notice Board - Vandal Proof. Could be placed on wall outside library. This would provide the community with a more visible area for notices without having to go into the Library during their working hours. Drawing attached.
