March to the beat of a different drum: Land Reuse Month

These events are focused on the public sector’s role on redeveloping vacant sites. Community organisations are of course a critical stakeholder, so it would be worth taking a look…

Land Reuse Month, hosted by the Scottish Land Commission, is a month-long campaign and series of events which will support local authorities in addressing the ‘how to’ of tackling the legacy of derelict land and preventing further sites and buildings from falling into long-term disrepair. The campaign aims to drive forward the message that the public sector has a key role to play in transforming vacant and derelict land across Scotland.

Sessions will be held virtually on the first four Thursdays in March and will encourage delegates to understand the opportunities in transforming derelict land, to collaborate with communities and other cross-sector organisations involved, develop relevant strategies, and how to help stem the flow of abandoned and derelict land.
