Purpose of the group
Seek to understand and highlight the range of ongoing issues affecting Scotland’s former traditional industrial communities who have experienced industrial decline over the last few decades. Ongoing issues are likely to include youth unemployment, town centre regeneration, health inequalities, low educational attainment, regeneration funding and poor environmental conditions. The term ‘former industrial communities’ covers a range of traditional industries including coal, steel, textiles and shipbuilding.
