A LOCAL residents group has been shortlisted as a nominee for ScotRail’s first annual community awards.
Action Old Kilpatrick (AOK) was set up by residents who love, and want to protect and support the village and the group are nominated within the Adopt a Station of the Year category.
AOK joined ScotRail’s adopt-a-station programme in 2018 and wanted to make an immediate visible impact on Kilpatrick station.
Initially the group installed three large planters with the help of volunteers, friends and family.
The ceremony will take place on Friday, June 7 at Glasgow’s Grand Central Hotel, which coincides with the last day of National Volunteer Week.
Other categories include station adopter of the year, and community project and volunteer of the year.
More than 275 ScotRail stations across the country are part of the Adopt a Station programme, with projects ranging from garden displays to charity bookshops, art galleries and model railway clubs.
