The Scottish Government is intending to publish a Stage 1 Consultation for the Scotland Rural Development Programme 2014-2020 in early May 2013. As part of the wider consultation process, a series of roadshows will be held throughout Scotland and all members of the public with an interest in the SRDP are welcome to attend these events. The dates and locations of the events can be found at

IMHO it would be good to have a simple, fast track stream for small projects.
