£414m gross value has been added to Dumbarton’s economy since the creation of Strathleven Regeneration CIC. The new job count is 671 and 344 houses have been built. SRCIC has a solid track record of private investment as it moves forward towards a new era.

Working with Walker Construction, Chivas, Costa, Whitbread, Aggreko, The BBC, and Eurogarages have resulted in an impressive £112m of private sector investment. The Strathleven Regeneration model remains in robust condition to meet all of the economic and social challenges ahead.

SRCIC’s development agreement with Walker Group of Livingstone reached its natural end in December 2018.

Steven Szostak, is the new Project Director and a highly experienced and pivotal national figure in the field of regeneration. Steven said, “We have 23 acres of prime visible land which 11million people pass by every year. We are at the gateway to Loch Lomond and our visibility and connectivity are high. The next phase is going to be a fascinating mix of new partnership, building on successful ones and contributing more to the local area”.

Conversations are being extended to include a wider group of private sector partners and landowners around this hugely successful cooperative working and funding model. The ambition and determination of the board throughout past, leaner times has translated into confidence within investors, public sector and the local population.

The next phase will focus on a closer link with the challenges facing the local residential community where unemployment remains high. So, going forward, the Strathleven board will be constantly measuring their impact against demanding local jobs targets. The skill will be in matching new property occupants with the availability of local labour and supply chains.

Since its creation Strathleven Regeneration CIC has changed the economic landscape in the area. It looks towards new avenues that will be exciting, challenging and bring benefits for new business and the local workforce.
