The windows of the former M&Co building have had a colourful makeover, featuring the Elgin branding and new vinyl graphics from Dallas Designs.

The graphics showcase some of the exciting projects taking place across Elgin City Centre and Cooper Park. The building itself forms part of the Council-led Levelling Up Fund project, which aims to bring this landmark building back into active use.

Take a look next time you're passing!

A special thank you to Dallas Designs Ltd and
All Seasons Window Cleaning for helping to give the windows a fresh new look.

Find out more about the Levelling Up Fund project on the MyMoray website.

FAMILY FUN DAY – RESCHEDULED

We’re really sorry to let everyone know that Saturday’s Elgin Neighbourhood Board Family Fun Day has to be rescheduled due to the forecast of high winds.

The safety of our visitors, volunteers, stallholders and activity providers has to come first, and unfortunately the weather conditions mean we’re unable to go ahead as planned.

Thank you for your understanding, we’re sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Please share this post to help us make sure everyone who was planning to attend is aware that the event isn't going ahead.

Cooper Park Pavilion – we need your views!

The Cooper Park Community Sports Hub brings together the many sports clubs and organisations that use Cooper Park. With the pavilion being so well used, it’s now in need of a major refurbishment or potentially a new building.

The Hub has secured funding through the Elgin Neighbourhood Board and now we need YOU to help shape what happens next!

Have your say:
Come along to the Elgin Neighbourhood Board Family Fun Day and meet representatives from the Cooper Park Community Sports Hub where you will be able to take a look at the proposed plans and vote for your preferred option.
