Ward 5 is currently the biggest council ward in area in the UK, and probably Europe. The proposed alteration removes Garve and district but does not reduce the area much or the travel distances within Ward 5. For instance to travel from Reiff to Arnisdale is 133.5 miles and takes 3.5 hours. I think that it is right that in the proposals, island wards and ward 20 get special treatment due to poor transport links and distance. The present 4 councillors deal with the large distances by informally splitting up the ward so I think that Ward 5, Wester Ross, should retain 4 councillors for the same they can attend all 20 CC's. I think this ward, due to reasons. It is currently the biggest ward by area in the UK and probably Europe. its size, needs 4 councillors. I think the proposal makes sense for Inverness. As it is currently divided I find it difficult to contact my local councillor as they aren't often aware of what's happening in my particular area. Perhaps a shake up will reinvigorate local councillors to take their jobs more seriously and work for all the people they represent rather than the convenient ones. Highland desperately requires to be broken up into its 8 District Council components. An area the size of Wales with a single council is not "local", it's "sub- national". Time for a (Royal) Commission to fully explore the needs and roles of 21st century local government. "In general", greater emphasis should be given by BC to "natural, cultural" boundaries. Secondary school catchments often work well in rural Scotland. I believe Ward 10 could function adequately with 3 Councillors. This seems appropriate for the geography & population. However, being a "remote, rural area," deprived in a number of categories (as defined by the Scottish Government), the "quality" of our representatives is all the more important if "quantity" is reduced. I have concerns about the lack of equality & diversity in those standing for election & being successful (all "middle-class" (for want of a better expression), white males. In 21 years residency, I can only remember 3 women standing for election & no-one from a "minority" group. Skye is a traditional Ward but I would welcome greater encouragement & support for new prospective candidates to put themselves forward. av,3 = 2340 pop / councillor this ward should only have Why is Inverness allocated 18 councillors - 25% of total, when its pop is only 72 councillors for 18300 pop = ~ 1 councillor per 3 councillors 22..5% of total and so should only have 16 councillors. i allocated to Inverness, 2540 pop so a pop of 11000 - this ward should so 4 INVERNESS WARDS SHOULD HAVE 5,4,4 AND 3 = therefore object to these extra councillors it would help to supply ward pops. again no ward pop again no ward pop again no ward pop again no ward pop again no ward pop again no ward pop again no ward pop again no ward pop again no ward pop again no ward pop again no ward pop ok have only 4 councillors 16 COUNCILLORS again no ward pop again no ward pop again no ward pop again no ward pop Although there is a lot of detail, it still seems like 25% of Highland councillors are from Inverness and it will just reinforce the feeling that Highland Council is really Inverness Council and the rest of the Highlands are just incidental to the purpose of spending money in Inverness. Scotland continues to have much poorer representation at this level than most or Europe and the real solution is not to tinker with ward boundaries, but to split Highland council into 3 or 4 smaller councils with more councillors in total and a greater relationship with the population. I strongly object to these proposals. 3 councillors for our large geographical area is simply not adequate. I’m a member of my community council and our councillors struggle to travel to our meetings or they may clash with other community council meetings within our ward - because we have so many within our ward. We need more representation not less. This would in effect mean a reduction in local councillors and I am therefore against the proposal. I understand that the local Highland council have also taken this view recognising the importance of local responsibility We need MORE councillors for this area NOT less. We are an ever changing population with ever changing complex needs and our councillors need to know their area, good points and had points, problems and residents so that they can do what is best for the residents. This area losing a councillor so that Inverness gains one is wrong on every level. The name is to be changed to reflect the inclusion of the Small Isles. Surprised to realise, from the map in this document, that the ward also covers Spean Bridge and Roybridge. As Caol is west of Ft William, this seems just as big an anomaly, if not greater, than the previous name not mentioning the islands.... i would like to see the numbers kept that we have i feel the numbers of councillers we have in caithness are just the right balance for as it seems to be working just fine and does not i see no reason for a change from what we have at the two towns and rural areas require a change present i see no reason for change from what is at present Highland Council covers a land mass similar to the size of Belguim, with the vast majority of it's population living in a condensed settlement area within the inner Moray Firth. Presently more than 50% of the political representation within Highland lies within less than 10% of the landmass. Whilst it may be a simple sum for the electoral commission to equate representation to population, then investment in the whole council area does not follow. This form of calculating political representation takes no account of the distrubution of asset and infrastructure, or pressures from tourism.

  • Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015
    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation.

SOMERSET ngus of the Hills, Aonghas nam Beann, is well known in Highland religious circles, though perhaps not given all the honour that he shouldA be. The purpose of this article is to clarify, as far as possible, some of the dates and other basic facts of his life. For convenience, we have attached dates to the title and to several of the sections of this article but it should be emphasised that these dates are very much approximate. We are not claiming to have settled the various chronological questions that crop up. 1.

Economic Impact of Great Glen Wind Farms 7 4. Economic Impact of Glendoe Hydro Scheme 18 5. Summary 24 6. Appendix A – Methodology 26 7. Appendix B – Consultations 30 8. Appendix C – Project Impacts 31 Economic Impact Assessment of SSE Projects in the Great Glen 1. Executive Summary The development, construction and operation of three wind farms in the Great Glen and the Glendoe Hydro Scheme has generated and will continue to generate substantial local, regional and national impacts. Between 2009 and 2018 SSE Renewables completed four projects within the Great Glen area of the Highland region. These projects are: • Glendoe Hydro Scheme, which has a capacity of 100MW, which became fully operational in 2012; • Bhlaraidh Wind Farm, which has a capacity of 108MW, which became fully operational in 2017; • Dunmaglass Wind Farm, which has a capacity of 94MW, which became fully operational in 2017; and • Stronelairg Wind Farm, which has a capacity of 228MW, which became fully operational in 2018. These projects were developed and built at a cost of £1.1 billion in 2018 prices (DEVEX/CAPEX). Operational expenditure (OPEX) is expected to amount to £1.1 billion over their operational lifetimes/25 years. The expected total expenditure (TOTEX) is therefore £2.2 billion. During the development and construction phases, it was estimated that the UK secured contracts worth £686.1 million. The area is expected to secure £1.0 billion in OPEX contracts over the operational lifetimes of the projects (£39.7 million annually).
