Kirkmichael Community Action Plan 2014 - 2019 Kirkmichael Community Action Plan 2014 - 2019 Welcome to Kirkmichael Community Action Plan This Community Action Plan lays out the community’s priorities for the development of Kirkmichael over the next 5 years. These priorities have been established through a process of community engagement and consultation carried out during 2013. Kirkmichael Community Action Plan 2014 - 2019 This Community Action Plan is for people who live or work in Kirkmichael and who want to plan for its future. The contents provide detailed results, conclusions and recommendations from vari- ous surveys which took place during 2012 and 2013. The Action Plan is a statement about the type of place the community wants Kirkmichael to be, and what needs to be done. The Action Plan provides: An outline of our community profile A summary of our community‘s views A vision for the future, where the issues that matter most are priorities for action to be taken. The Action Plan will be our guide for what we as a community want to try to make happen over the next five years, laying the foundations for change over the longer term. Equalities During the course of the consultation and engagement with this community, the consultants and oth- er partners have been mindful to consider all equality issues and carry out all of the activities inclu- sively to ensure that throughout the community, all ages, genders and themes have been considered and represented in a positive manner. Kirkmichael Community & the Ayrshire 21 Project Our Community has worked with the Ayrshire 21 team, to undertake community consultations which have gathered the views of local people about their community and highlighted their interests. The consultation work has used a variety of methods; including the use of householder surveys to find out the opinions of local people about a range of topics. Various meetings have also taken place in Kirkmichael to ascertain the views within the community. This process has fed into the action plan to identify the needs the community has, its’ future aspirations and wants and also what its sees as being in need of change or improvement. The result of this work is an Action Plan with a list of recommendations for the future of the area. This project has been part-financed by the Scottish Government and by the European Community Ayrshire LEADER 2007-2013 Programme, and supported by volunteer work within the community. Representatives from our Community have guided the consultation process and the development of this final report and action plan. Without the help and support of members of the community in responding to the consultation process, this report and action plan would not have been possible. Page 2 Local Information and Comment Kirkmichael is a popular village, with a vibrant population and a strong development group which is respon- sible for bringing projects together. Kirkmichael Village Renaissance (KVR) group got started in 2009 fol- lowing a BBC competition to get help to bring the McCosh Hall back into community ownership. Unfortu- nately, the project did not win at that stage. However, undeterred, the community continued to work togeth- er to develop ideas and activities that would benefit the village. During the consultation and engagement period, we have collected questionnaires and comments from over 50 people in the community. In our questions, we asked residents to consider how they feel about fa- cilities and services within the community. The majority of respondents agree that Kirkmichael is a safe place to live, with good community spirit and a sense of place. The church features highly within the village and at the annual church fete, in August, many people at the fete commented that they enjoyed being part of a community such as Kirkmichael. The income generated from the fete is testament to the support the community is willing to provide. The community run village shop thrives due to the support from the community and the questionnaire re- sponses reported that the shop is extremely important to the residents of Kirkmichael. During the past 18 months the village has enjoyed the close proximity of the primary school children who have used the McCosh Hall whilst the new school complex has been constructed. Residents have enjoyed seeing more young people in the village and hope that the closer relationship will continue when the school is re-opened in early 2014. Now the Hall is being released back to community use, the community are keen to continue to investigate how they can take on the management of the hall. Other comments from respondents have included: “we need more activities for village children” “we need to teach people to pick up after their dogs” “when the new school is opened what will happen to the community garden area?” “we enjoy the community activities such as the fete, the garden snoop and the bonfire” “we need to support the shop so that it can remain open for all of the village” “can’t wait to get our hall back although it has been nice to have the children right in the centre of the village and hear them at play outside” Respondents also commented that the community relies on tourism and visitors. KVR is keen to progress projects that will encourage and promote tourism in Kirkmichael Page 3 Kirkmichael Shop and Cafe In 2011, the then owners of the local village shop wanted to retire. As the premises used by them were not for sale, the shop would close with no succession. The local community came together and following a lot of consultation, questionnaires, and help from some very generous benefactors and volunteers the commu- nity opened a shop in the old Jocks Restaurant. With a small range of projects the shop was staffed with paid managers but ably supported by a significant number of volunteers and since its opening has proved successful and sustainable. The café opened and after a slow start has continued to thrive. The shop committee have continued to work with the community to encourage and nurture the volunteers who have in turn enabled the shop to develop and prosper. The McCosh Hall Built in 1898, the hall was gifted to the community by James McCosh, philosopher and former president at Princeton University in 1868. In 2011, the community agreed to let South Ayrshire Council use the hall whilst the new school was built. This allowed the community to think about the future of the hall and bringing the it back into community ownership. Now that the school has been built the community are willing to Kirkmichael Bowling Club talk to South Ayrshire Council to look at what The club operates from the hall, with the green would be involved in the community taking on the adjacent to the hall. The club was established in management of the hall. This will involve 1955 and has a wide membership of around 30 negotiating an agreement with the council, members and takes part in local tournaments and looking for revenue funding and developing a leagues.

These include offering new services and activities and making the hall accessible to all with a new lift to first floor level. Page 4 Kirkmichael Businesses Kirkmichael has a wide range of local businesses from the Kirkmichael Arms and Craft Shop to local cheese producer, soft furnishings expert, artist and wood carver, kennels, author and horse feed manufacturer. Other local businesses and activities centre round the farming community. Kirkmichael is a vibrant community with plenty of residents with the capacity to help turn community aspirations into reality. Kirkmichael Music Festival Following the success of the Kirkmichael Guitar Festival (from 1999 to 2005 and once the biggest guitar festival in the world), that has defined many peoples memories of Kirkmichael, there is a will to stage a new festival in 2014 and potentially an annual event after that. New music acts and different styles of music will bring in a new flavour to the festival which will attract a new audience. The sub group of KVR are currently sourcing funds and organising the event which will be held from 13th to 15th June 2014. Kirkmichael Church The long history of the church in the community can be traced (over 700 years) back to the 13th century. The present church was built in 1787 and is believed to be the second or third erected on the site. It has a magnificent pulpit which is centrally located and is bathed in light from the 4 stained glass windows on each side. Kirkmichael Village Renaissance Group In 2009 this group was set up to take part in a BBC TV competition where the winner would have received support and expertise towards the regeneration of some of the village amenities. Kirkmichael was not successful in its bid to win the competition but the group felt empowered to continue to look at ways to continue with its aspirations. The work that they have undertaken has been to get the shop up and running, organising fund raising events, community consultation and engagement and providing a platform for the community to come together. KVR wishes to continue this and make sure that the organisation supports sustainable and positive activities for the community.

    EAST AYRSHIRE the community plan planning together working together achieving together Contents Introduction 3 Our Vision 3 Our Guiding Principles 4 The Challenges 8 Our Main Themes 13 Promoting Community Learning 14 Improving Opportunities 16 Improving Community Safety 18 Improving Health 20 Eliminating Poverty 22 Improving the Environment 24 Making the Vision a Reality 26 Our Plans for the next 12 years 28 Our Aspirations 28 2 Introduction Community planning is about a range of partners in the public and voluntary sectors working together to better plan, resource and deliver quality services that meet the needs of people who live and work in East Ayrshire. Community planning puts local people at the heart of delivering services. It is not just about creating a plan or a vision but about jointly tackling major issues such as health, transport, employment, housing, education and community safety. These issues need a shared response from, and the full involvement of, not only public sector agencies but also local businesses, voluntary organisations and especially local people. The community planning partners in East Ayrshire are committed to working together to make a real difference to the lives of all people in the area. We have already achieved a lot through joint working, but we still need to do a lot more to make sure that everybody has a good quality of life. Together, those who deliver services and those who live in our communities will build on our early success and on existing partnerships and strategies to create a shared understanding of the future for East Ayrshire.

In brief, we belief that the integrity of the Galloway Forest Park, the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park and the Galloway and South Ayrshire Biosphere as tourist destinations are threatened by a development on such a large scale on the major tourist route from the Central Belt to Dumfries and Galloway, the A713; we believe the development is too close to the much loved and used Monument Hill walk, as well as to the nationally significant Designed Landscapes of Blairquhan and Craigengillan; and we believe the survey carried out shows that the threat posed by Keirs Hill to the many tourist businesses in Straiton and nearby is real, and the dismissal of this threat by the PBA Roger Tym survey is completely contradicted by the evidence that they themselves adduce. In April 2013, we also produced a report on tourism in Straiton, Wind Farm Development & Tourism in Straiton: a case-study of tourist provision for the Galloway Forest Park and the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park.

  • Maybole & North Carrick Communities
    Maybole & North Carrick Communities Locality Data Profile 2017 *Premature mortality is described as deaths under the age of 75 years. This measure is considered an important indicator as a higher premature mortality rate suggests there is still room to improve population health. POPULATION AND DEPRIVATION Overall, the South Ayrshire population is projected to remain relatively static between 2014 and 2039. However, projections suggest that there will be approximately a 10% drop in the working age population whilst the percentage of individuals of pensionable age and over is due to increase by 21% across the same time period. Many parts of South Ayrshire are prosperous and it is a vibrant area in which to live and work, and to visit; however, significant inequalities continue to exist within and between our communities. • The Maybole & North Carrick Communities (MNCC) Locality has grown slightly over recent years and now sits at 10,697 people. • One in five people in the MNCC Locality are aged over 65. • Approximately one out of eight people in the MNCC Locality live in a deprived neighbourhood. • Approximately one in ten children in the MNCC Locality live in poverty. ECONOMY AND SKILLS The key driver underpinning our future prosperity and the ability to realise the potential of our communities is a local economy which develops and achieves sustainable growth. Delivering economic recovery and growth will contribute to improve outcomes for young and old, improved health, employment, inclusion, and safer and stronger communities. • Two out of three people aged 16 to 74 are economically active. • Approximately half the people in work in the MNCC Locality work in skilled trades, professional occupations and in elementary occupations.

  • Girvan (Potentially Vulnerable Area 12/18)
    Girvan (Potentially Vulnerable Area 12/18) Girvan (Potentially Vulnerable Area 12/18) Local Plan District Local authority Main catchment Girvan to Lendalfoot Ayrshire South Ayrshire Council coastal Background This Potentially Vulnerable Area is located There are approximately 110 residential in the south of the Ayrshire Local Plan properties at risk of flooding. The Annual District on the west coast between Girvan Average Damages are approximately and Lendalfoot (shown below). It £220,000. incorporates the towns of Girvan and Pinminnoch and is approximately 20km2. River 87% Coastal 6% Surface water 7% Figure 1: Annual Average Damages by flood source Summary of flooding impacts River flooding within this area is primarily attributed to the Mill Burn which flows in a north westerly direction through Girvan before joining the Water of Girvan immediately downstream of the A77. This is expected to impact a number of residential and non- residential properties, along with sections of the road and rail network (notably the A77). The Water of Girvan is outwith the Potentially Vulnerable Area boundary to the north but as the larger watercourse, it is likely to contribute to flooding on the lower reaches of the Mill Burn. The Mill Burn primarily flows as an open channel through a largely residential area with culverts beneath a number of roads in the area. The Myoch Burn, which flows in a westerly direction approximately 500m to the south of Girvan, is another source of river flooding which predominately affects agricultural land but also presents a risk to a caravan park. The only urban areas at risk of surface water flooding are in the vicinity of the Mill Burn in Girvan.
