More funding has been announced to extend the community hubs to 20 locations across Scotland.

The Scottish government has announced £5.5m to expand a network of community led climate action hubs.The concept started more than two years ago with just two, in the north-east and Highlands and Islands. After an initial expansion last year, they're now being extended again to a network of 20.

It also encourages active travel by making them available for hire locally or passing them on through charities. He added: "We are able to see how, over the past two years, more people are taking up the schemes that we are able to provide."No measure is taken of how much the network contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions or mitigating against the impacts of climate change.CEO Alison Stuart said the most important aspect of their work is that projects are conceived within local communities."They don't want it done to them, they want it done with them," she added.

"It goes from here to the neighbouring house which is not only good for nutrition - the vegetables will be absolutely at their best - but it also saves transport costs."
