That the Parliament congratulates Avonbank Fishery CIC on securing £8,350 from the National Lottery Awards for All Scotland programme; acknowledges that the funding will be used to build an accessible boat jetty, which will enable wheelchair users and others with a physical disability to use a specialist boat to enjoy fly fishing on Millhall Reservoir; applauds the group for supporting disabled people to enjoy experiences that they may have had difficulty in accessing until now; considers access to outdoor activities is important for the physical and mental health of all, especially in recent times with the impact of COVID-19 with the associated periods of lockdown and isolation, looks forward to seeing the jetty built and wishes everyone at Avonbank Fishery CIC a healthy, happy and "accessible" future.
