Community Right to Buy offers local communities in Scotland the opportunity to apply to register an interest in land with the view of purchasing that land when it comes up for sale. Our initial approach is to engage with Mount Florida Bowling to allow the community to hopefully retain the Bowling club; although recognising the sustainability issues surrounding the financial viability of running a modern day Bowling club; the Trust aims to repurpose the site to allow for increased community activity and to engage with other local community organisations within the area to improve the local community facilities.
