  • Ronnie's Cabs
    transport guide FOREWORD The Moray Forum is a constituted voluntary organisation that was established to provide a direct link between the Area Forums and the Moray Community Planning Partnership. The Forum is made up of two representatives of each of the Area Forums and meets on a regular basis. Further information about The Moray Forum is available on: www.yourmoray.org.uk Area Forums are recognised by the Moray Community Planning Partnership as an important means of engaging local people in the Community Planning process. In rural areas - such as Moray - transport is a major consideration, so in September 2011 the Moray Forum held its first transport seminar to look at the issues and concerns that affect our local communities in respect of access to transport. Two actions that came from that event was the establishment of a Passenger Forum and a Transport Providers Network. This work was taken forward by the Moray Forum Transport Working Group made up of representatives of the Area Forums, Moray Council, NHS Grampian, tsiMORAY, and community transport schemes. In September 2013 the Working Group repeated the seminar to see how much progress had been made on the actions and issues identified in 2011. As a direct result of the work of the Group this Directory has been produced in order to address an on-going concern that has been expressed of the lack of information on what transport is available in Moray, the criteria for accessing certain transport services, and where to go for further advice. The Moray Forum Transport Working Group would like to acknowledge the help of all the people who provided information for this Directory, and thereby made a contribution towards the integration of public, private and community transport services within Moray.

  • Here Is the Brief for Thursday 13 May 2021. Moray Update Additional Mobile Testing Units Are to Be Deployed in Lossiemouth, Keit
    can Here is the brief for Thursday 13 May 2021. Moray update Additional mobile testing units are to be deployed in Lossiemouth, Keith, and Aberlour as part of ongoing efforts to bring case numbers in Moray under control. There are currently no plans to progress to door-to-door testing anywhere in the area. Public Health believe we may now be seeing the outbreak in Elgin starting to plateau. Despite this, the figures in Moray are still well ahead of the rest of the country. We are starting to see signs of outbreaks in other communities outside of Elgin, including in Keith, Lossiemouth and Aberlour, hence why mobile testing will be deployed there. The number of tests undertaken in Moray has risen by 400% and there has been strong public support of the accelerated COVID-19 vaccination programme in the area. COVID-19 vaccination – community outreach As part of the accelerated roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccination programme in Moray, a community clinic took place today at Hythehill Primary School in Lossiemouth. The team will also be running a clinic at Keith Primary School tomorrow. This is in addition to extended opening hours at the Fiona Elcock Vaccination Centre in Elgin. Community clinics are also scheduled for Aberdeen City next week, at Tillydrone Hub (19/5), Gerrard St Baptist Church (20/5), and Seaton Community Church (21/5). Booking information for these clinics is going out directly in a targeted leaflet drop; these clinics are for anyone aged 40 and over who have not yet had their first dose of vaccine.

  • Sponsored by Ian Anderson Issue No 27
    THE ROTHESIAN Sept 2004 Sponsored by Ian Anderson Issue No 27 The sponsor for this edition of the Rothesian is ROTHES TENANTS ASSOCIATION Ian Anderson, a Rothes loon. The Rothes Tenants Association is now registered with the Moray Council. The certificate of registration was presented to the Group at their recent meeting, by Cllr. George McIntyre, Vice-chair of the Community Services Committee. The newly registered area forum group has a recog- nised role within the council tenant participation pro- cess. The move also places a legal requirement on the local authority to consult with the association on all housing policies and procedures before their adoption. Established in August, 2002, the Rothes association has nine members who work closely with the council in addressing local housing related issues. In the past they have been instrumental in getting a series of maintenance programmes done within Rothes, ie new kitchens, peep-holes in doors, replacement doors, new fencing and others. Ian, son of As each association has a dedicated budget they are the late the ones who can decide how that money is to be Conrad Anderson, was brought up at 7 Seafield Square, and as a boy, attended Rothes Junior Sec- ondary School. He left school at 15 and joined the boys service to make a career in the Navy. He spent ten years in the Navy before returning to civilian life. Ian now has a successful business in South-west England, and wished to sponsor the Rothesian in memory of his happy school days at home in Rothes. Ian still has a number of friends and rela- tives in the Rothes area, and he would like to wish them well.

SOLD BY THE AGENTS FOR THE COURANT; AND BY ALL BOOKSELLERS. : ELGIN PRINTED AT THE COURANT OFFICE, PREFACE, Thu ''Morayshire Directory" is issued in the hope that it will be found satisfactorily comprehensive and reliably accurate, The greatest possible care has been taken in verifying every particular contained in it ; but, where names and details are so numerous, absolute accuracy is almost impossible. A few changes have taken place since the first sheets were printed, but, so far as is known, they are unimportant, It is believed the Directory now issued may be fully depended upon as a Book of Reference, and a Guide for the County of Moray and the Upper District of Banffshire, Giving names and information for each town arid parish so fully, which has never before been attempted in a Directory for any County in the JTorth of Scotland, has enlarged the present work to a size far beyond anticipation, and has involved much expense, labour, and loss of time. It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance. It has become so large that it could not be sold at the figure first mentioned without loss of money to a large extent, The price has therefore been fixed at Two and Sixpence, in order, if possible, to cover outlays, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/blacksmorayshire1863dire INDEX.

THE Wild Birds Protection Act of 1894 has now been in operation within one district of Fifeshire for three complete seasons.
