Drew Hendry MP | House of Commons | London | SW1A 0AA 22 October 2015 Reference: ZA0271 Open Letter to Residents of Ardersier I have, today, written to the Director of Community Services to reiterate my calls for transport links between Ardersier and Nairn to be included in the current consultation on the tendering of the school and public bus process. Whilst the village remains serviced by Nairn Health Centre it is inconceivable that residents do not have regular transport links to and from Nairn. I encourage you to attend the Highland Council’s public and school transport consultation to make your views heard. Wed 28 Oct (6:30pm-8:30pm) Nairn Community & Arts Centre, King Street, Nairn Wed 4 Nov (7pm-9pm) Kinmylies Church Hall, Kinmylies Way, Inverness Further information about the consultation and details of other meetings can be found here. I would also like to take this opportunity to commend the work of all those involved in trying to put together community transport solutions. Such as the Croy, Ardersier and Petty Transport Association and Ardersier & Petty Community Council. Work to this end is on-going with local Councillors and progress is being made. I will continue to work with all interested parties to press for more to be done. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can be of any further assistance.

The Trust already plays a vital role in supporting the area of Embo and if it was successful in securing the acreage then it would be a further benefit to the whole community. The plans that the Trust has will help the local community. It will also bring into use land for woodland uses which help build opportunity, resilience and security. Community ownership has proved to work across Scotland and this area of East Sutherland would undoubtedly be better off if the community controlled the land.

How do I keep informed and involved in Ship to Ship Oil Transfer action? UPDATE 16/12/16 (picture by Ian Macrae) The recent Nairn Beach Demo last Sunday was organised in less than a week and brought together more than 500 people to oppose proposed Ship to Ship Oil Transfer in the Moray Firth. We got media coverage in Glasgow Herald, P and J, Scotsman, Moray Firth Radio, BBC and STV news and more. Well done to all who made this happen. Lets keep the pressure up. This high profile action and the efforts of our own Nairn Councillors have persuaded Highland Council yesterday to hold a special meeting in early 2017 to debate any revised licence application from Cromarty Firth Ports Authority due to be ready in January to submit to the Maritime Coastguard Agency in London (part of UK government). In the meantime we need to persuade all Highland Councillors and other influential agencies and individuals to take a strong position against Ship to Ship Oil Transfer in the Moray Firth so that the UK Government get the message loud and clear to reject this licence application Keep Informed Cromarty Rising website, www.cromartyrising.com Cromarty Rising Facebook page Nairn Rocks Facebook page, 4750 members, anyone can join, event publicity Fridays only http://www.gurnnurn.com/ (Nairn blog) Nairnshire Telegraph -see articles from last 2 weeks, and more to come….

The Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for Home Affairs Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF 15 March 2019 Dear
The Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for Home Affairs Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF 15 March 2019 Dear Home Secretary, Refugees (Family Reunion) (No. 2) Bill 2017-19 Almost a year ago, MPs from across the political spectrum united behind a common cause as they overwhelmingly voted to introduce a law that would help reunite refugee families. The current rules condemn child refugees, fleeing conflict and persecution, to live in the UK without their parents. It also prevents parents from bringing their children over the age of 18. At a time when refugees need their families the most, they are being forced to be without them indefinitely. They say a week is a long time in politics, but a year is a long time to wait. For refugee families it means a year of missed birthdays, Christmases, Mother’s Days, Father’s Day and Eids. We cannot let the urgent crowd out the important. We urge you to use your power to stop the delays on this Bill and allow it the necessary time to proceed and be debated. With your help we can bring families together. Yours sincerely, The Rt Hon Diane Abbott Dr Stella Creasy MP Mr Roger Godsiff MP MP Mr Martyn Day MP Mr Patrick Grady MP Ms Mhairi Black MP Mr Stephen Doughty MP Mr Neil Gray MP The Rt Hon Ian Blackford Dr David Drew MP Ms Margaret Greenwood MP MP Ms Rosie Duffield MP Ms Deidre Brock MP Ms Helen Hayes MP Mr Jonathan Edwards MP Mr Alan Brown MP Mr Drew Hendry MP Ms Vicky Foxcroft MP Ms Ruth Cadbury MP Ms Liz Kendall MP Ms Gill Furniss MP The Rt Hon Alistair Mr Afzal Khan MP Carmichael MP Mr Hugh Gaffney MP The Rt Hon David Lammy Mr Douglas Chapman MP Ms Ruth George MP MP Ms Joanna Cherry QC MP Mr Stephen Gethins MP Mr Chris Law MP Mr Ronnie Cowan MP Ms Patricia Gibson MP Ms Karen Lee MP Mr Neil Coyle MP Ms Preet Kaur Gill MP Mr David Linden MP Ms Angela Crawley MP Mr Angus MacNeil MP CC - The Rt Hon Andrea Leadsom MP - Leader of Mr Sandy Martin MP the House of Commons Mr Steve McCabe MP Ms Rebecca Harris MP - Ms Kerry McCarthy MP Lord Commissioner (HM Treasury) (Whip) Mr Stewart Malcolm McDonald MP Mr Stuart C.
