  • Islay and Jura Road Traffic Speeds PDF 128 KB
    ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL MID ARGYLL, KINTYRE AND THE ISLANDS AREA COMMITTEE DEVELOPMENT & INFRASTRUCTURE September 2018 SERVICES Islay & Jura Road Traffic Speeds – Briefing Note 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Speed Limits on the Local Road Network are governed by legislation and guidance which are summarised in the proposed policy document. The legislation and guidance have been established to regularise speed limits across the country to provide consistency of approach. 1.2 The speed of vehicles can be an emotive issue for communities that often generates intense local concern and debate. This can be due to the perception of what is an appropriate safe speed which can often differ greatly between, for example; drivers, pedestrians and pedal cyclists, many of whom live and work in the community. 1.3 A request has been received through Members for the consideration of alterations to speed limits at four locations, these being Ballygrant, Bruichladdich, Keills on Islay and Craighouse, Jura. Police Scotland have also indicated that there may be issues with drivers driving inappropriately from time to time. 1.4 Traffic Data Units (TDU) have been used to collect data at the above locations. The data for each site confirms that no further action is required by the Council. 1.5 We have shared this information with Police Scotland who have indicated that, on the basis of the recorded data, they have no concerns at these locations and do not intend any further action at this time. Notwithstanding this, normal sample enforcement will continue on the islands as Police Scotland consider appropriate. 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 This report provides requested speed data for three locations on Islay and one on Jura.

Hard copies will be subject to a £50 charge. NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Development/Project Mowi Scotland Limited proposes a new Atlantic Salmon farm in Kilbrannan Sound, named North Kilbrannan, situated just north of Cour Bay and about 9 km north from the existing Carradale North farm. The proposed infrastructure is 12 pens of 120 m circumference each, arranged in a 2x6 regular grid; associated moorings to the seabed; a feed barge; and 3 ancillary single point moorings. North Kilbrannan has a SEPA Controlled Activities Regulation (CAR) Licence (CAR/L/1168182) to operate up to a biomass of 2475.54 tonnes. Benthic Environment Uneaten food and faeces are the main components of particulate waste generated at a fish farm, which may impact the benthic environment. This assessment considers the impacts of the proposed North Kilbrannan farm, arising from organic (carbon) deposition and in-feed treatment residues.

  • Inveraray to Crossaig 275 Kv Overhead Line Reinforcement

What is the difference between Transmission and Distribution? Electricity Transmission is the transportation of electricity from generating plants to where it is required at centres of demand. The Electricity Transmission network, or grid, transports electricity at very high voltages through overhead wires, underground cables and subsea cables. The transmission network connects large scale generation, primarily renewables, to central and southern Scotland and the rest of Great Britain. It also helps secure supply by providing reliable connection to the wider network of generation plans. The Electricity Distribution network is connected into the Transmission network but the voltage is lowered by transformers at electricity substations, and the power is then distributed to homes and businesses through overhead lines or underground cables. Overview of Transmission projects In total we maintain about 5,000km of overhead lines and underground cables – easily enough to stretch across the Atlantic from John O’Groats all the way to Boston in the USA. Our network crosses some of the UK’s most challenging terrain – including circuits that are buried under the seabed, are located over 750m above sea level and up to 250km long.
