The official opening Celebration of the Safer Communities Youth Action Projects (SCYAP) Camelon Railway Station Biodiversity & Community Art Project will take place at 12 noon on Wednesday 16th July on the footbridge leading from Nailer Road onto Camelon Railway Station. This Community Arts Project is a collaboration led by SCYAP and supported by both Scotrail and Network Rail Scotland.
