ROSYTH ART PROJECT

Early day motion 1612, tabled 11 September 2018 by Douglas Chapman (Scottish National Party). Signed by 14 members.

That this House welcomes the success of the recently established Rosyth Art Project; notes that the project was initiated to brighten up the town's public places and introduce splashes of colour to otherwise dull buildings and surfaces; understands that the colourful mural painted on an outbuilding on the town's main thoroughfare represents Rosyth as a Garden City, depicting its sporting ambition, community garden, honey bees, floral displays, creativity, industrial heritage and waterside location; admires the vivid and eye-catching Rosyth Community Hub frontage displaying a painted medley of fruit and vegetables; notes that other local businesses have now requested personalised art for their own shop frontages; congratulates Lindsay Bennett, illustration student at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, on leading the project and encouraging local schoolchildren to take part, making it a real community effort; and wishes the project continued success in making Rosyth a more attractive and welcoming place for residents and visitors alike.
