I am pleased to announce that following the success of the LEADER+ Funding Programme 2000-2006, the Fife Local Action Group has been allocated a little over £1.3mil to support activity in Rural Fife from the 2007 - 2013 Scottish Rural Development Programme approved, and partly funded, by the European Commission.

LEADER in Fife will continue to be driven by local communities, delivered locally and be used to encourage and stimulate local development.

I look forward to working with all Local Action Group Partners in the new Programme and my colleagues will seek to ensure that access to, and operation of the procedures, will run as smoothly as possible.
