Caol Play: SCIO SC046595 Caol Play: SCIO SC046595 Report for year ended 31 May 2019 Caol Play was recognised as a SCIO in on 1 June 2016 Caol, often regarded as at the largest village in Scotland, can be found 3 miles away from the west highland town of Fort William. Commanding an en- viable position at the head of Loch Linhhe and near the foot of Ben Nevis, it is predominantly a residential community which (along with neighbouring Lochyside) around 3200 people call home. Housing stock was largely con- structed by the local authority in the second half of the twentieth century to provide for the workforce of the rapidly expanding local industries of pulp milling and aluminium smelting. Analysis of Scottish index of multiple deprivation data shows below average performance in most domains but this seems particularly marked for the health domain. 2011 census data shows 376 children under the age of 10 in the community. It is recognised that encouraging physical activity in childhood is a key activity to improving health outcomes and ease of access to outdoor play facilities could encourage this physical activity. However the only play parks within the area are small, inadequate, unappealing and generally dilap- idated. The trustees of Caol play are all members of the local community who con- vened to see the construction of a new, accessible, all abilities play facility in a central location to benefit all parts of the Caol community. This report sum- marises the position as of 31 May 2019. Caol Play is a SCIO established by constitution. Trustees: Project management: Alan Jones Associates, 62 Boswell Road, Inverness, IV2 3EJ Banking: Bank Of Scotland, 62 High Street, Fort William, PH33 6AE Book-keeping and accountancy services: BOSS Lochaber, Caol Commu- nity Centre, Glenkingie Street, Caol, Fort William, PH33 7DS Progress during year ended 31 May 2019: Significant progress was made during 2018-2019 with the opening of phase 1 of the Caol Play park. Construction work continued during the months of June and July 2018 with the official opening of the site on 25 July 2018 with a community afternoon event to celebrate this. The play park proved an immediate success and was well used by local kids. Challenges have arisen in respect of some vandalism / damage to one of the swings and persistent issues with littering and dialogue with the local authori- ty regarding emptying the bins. Several members of the community ex- pressed concerns about littering etc in the site which resulted in some clean up being done and new bins installed. A major obstacle to further work and preventing us proceeding to phase 2 has been sufficient time for the officer bearers, who are all volunteers, to engage in the project as all have busy work and family lives. This is a concern going forwards. Financial Situation: This is summarised in attached summary of accounts prepared by BOSS book keeping services at Caol community centre. The major sources of income were the Highland Council grant and Scottish Landfill Fund grant administered by WREN FCC. Summary of the year Significant realisation of our vision occurred with the opening of phase 1. This ha been welcomed and well used but significant ongoing challenges remain around time officer bearers have to commit to the project in furthering phase 2. Please note this report was significantly delayed in part as the secretary / vice chair had been diverted to preparing for the local response to the COVID pandemic in his professional role. We apologise for this.

  • 1 the HIGHLAND COUNCIL the Proposal Is to Establish a Catchment Area for Bun-Sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, and a Gaelic Medium
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL The proposal is to establish a catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, and a Gaelic Medium catchment area for Lochaber High School EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS STATEMENT THIS IS A PROPOSAL PAPER PREPARED IN TERMS OF THE EDUCATION AUTHORITY’S AGREED PROCEDURE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOLS (CONSULTATION) (SCOTLAND) ACT 2010 INTRODUCTION The Highland Council is proposing, subject to the outcome of the statutory consultation process: • To establish a catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar. The new Gàidhlig Medium (GM) catchment will overlay the current catchments of Banavie Primary School, Caol Primary School, Inverlochy Primary School, Lundavra Primary School, Roy Bridge Primary School, Spean Bridge Primary School, and St. Bride’s Primary School • To formalise the current arrangements relating to Gàidhlig Medium Education (GME) in related secondary schools, under which the catchment area for Lochaber High School will apply to both Gàidhlig Medium and English Medium education, and under which pupils from the St. Bride’s PS catchment (part of the Kinlochleven Associated School Group) have the right to attend Lochaber High School to access GME, provided they have previously attended Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar. • Existing primary school catchments for the provision of English Medium education will be unaffected. • The proposed changes, if approved, will be implemented at the conclusion of the statutory consultation process. If implemented as drafted, the proposed catchment for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar will include all of the primary school catchments within the Lochaber ASG, except for that of Invergarry Primary School. The distances and travel times to Fort William from locations within the Invergarry catchment make it unlikely that GM provision would be attractive to parents of primary school age children, and dedicated transport from the Invergarry catchment could result in excessive cost being incurred.

  • Population Change in Lochaber 2001 to 2011
    The Highland Council Agenda 5 Item Lochaber Area Committee Report LA/2/14 No 27 February 2014 Population Change in Lochaber 2001 To 2011 Report by Director of Planning and Development Summary This report presents early results from the 2011 Census, giving local information on the number and ages of people living within Lochaber. It compares these figures with those from 2001 to show that the population has “aged”, and that there is a large number of people who are close to retirement age. The population of Lochaber has grown by 6.1% (compared to the Highland average of 11.1%) with an increase in both Wards, and at a local level in 18 out of 27 data zones. Local population growth is strongly linked to the building of new homes. 1. Background 1.1. Publication of the results from the 2011 Census began in December 2012, and the most recent published in November and December 2013 gave the first detailed results for “census output areas”, the smallest areas for which results are published. These detailed results have enabled preparation of the first 2011 Census profiles and these are available for Wards, Associated School Groups, Community Councils and Settlement Zones on the Highland Council’s website at: http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourcouncil/highlandfactsandfigures/census2011.htm 1.2. This report returns to some earlier results and looks at how the age profile of the Lochaber population and the total numbers have changed at a local level (datazones). The changes for Highland are summarised in Briefing Note 57 which is attached at Appendix 1.

' ' ' Nether Lochaber ' lias been styled a phenomenon in the literary world. No other writer is at all equal to him on his native heath. He has imitators, just as Dickens and Carlyle have imitators, but as one star differeth from another star in glory, so do ' Nether Lochaber's ' imitators. He is the centre sun, and all other Highland naturalists revolve round him.

' Nether Lochaber ' was the first public writer to popularise science." Oban Times. "We lay 'Nether Lochaber' aside with much reluctance, for a more enjoyable book we have not read for many a day. The delicious breeze of the sea and the heather stirs its every page, and the whole bears the mark of a rare literary grace and elegance." Whitehall lie fit w.

If you cannot access the online version please contact the Development Plans Team via [email protected] or 01349 886608 and we will advise on an alternative method for you to read the Plan. (1) Further information is available via the Council's website . What is the Plan? The West Highland and Islands Local Development Plan (abbreviated to WestPlan) is the third of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, forms "the development plan" that guides future development in the Highlands. WestPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the West Highland and Islands area over the next 20 years. In preparing this Plan, The Highland Council have held various consultations firstly with a "Call for Sites" followed by a Main Issues Report then an Additional Sites Consultation followed by a Proposed Plan. The comments submitted during these stages have helped us finalise this Plan. This is the Adopted Plan and is now part of the statutory "development plan" for this area. 1 http://highland.gov.uk/whildp Adopted WestPlan The Highland Council 1 How to Find Out More | Mar a Gheibhear Tuilleadh Fiosrachaidh What is its Status?
