The story of how CLEAR came to be.
.
The area has transformed itself through the ages, from rising to be the second largest fishing port in Scotland between the 1600s to 1800s, to a thriving coal mining town and exporter in the 1800s to 1900s.
When the mines began to close in the 1960s to 1980s the area lost a lot of employment with related issues over the generations.
In the 2000s, things started with a slow upturn with investment, new industries and transport.
CLEAR is a Community Anchor organisation, working towards regenerating our area and making it an even better place to live.
CLEAR works with the local community on year-round climate action activities including:
.
. Tree planting
