Six Moray towns can each now apply for up to £5000 for flowers and plants.

Community groups in Aberlour, Buckie, Dufftown, Forres, Keith and Lossiemouth can get the cash from the Scottish Government to improve the look of their town centres.

Funding can only be spent directly on flowers or related items such as soil, compost and planters.

Marc Macrae (Fochabers/Lhanbryde, Conservative) chairs Moray Council's economic development committee.

He said: "One of the most frequently heard comments from residents is they want to see our town centres spruced up, so this is an ideal scheme for community groups to get involved with.

"I hope to see groups from all six eligible towns apply for this scheme to increase the quality and biodiversity value of planting in our town centres."
