Cliviger Parish Council is backing the fund that has already paid for a raft of activities in the village including improvement works to Cliviger fishponds, re-decoration of St John’s Church and the creation of a safe outdoor space at the village hall.

Gillian Arnot, Community Liaison Officer at Scottish Power Renewables, said: “We are pleased that Coal Clough Wind Farm is making a positive contribution to the local community of Cliviger.”
