Garrabost Mill Gypsum recycling Lewis and Harris Auction Mart Aignish shore work Portnaguran Slip Stornoway Sailing Club It was noted that there had been recent positive local and wider publicity for Point Football Club and PST arising from the donation of surplus football strips taken to Tanzania, East Africa. Two young youth teams in a very remote areas benefited from this contact and this was welcomed by the local village officials and volunteer 3 committees. It helped wider discussion in the community about community needs in those two communities and the opportunity was taken to share with them what was happening in Point and Sandwick. Photographs were provided to the football club to provide a visual record for them of the donation. In addition, the report indicated that a general discussion had taken place with Donald John MacSween, Tony Robson, Alasdair Nicholson and Dr Alasdair Macleod to consider any additional potential opportunities for renewables or energy projects which could be investigated further. The discussion ranged over micro-hydro, sea- current generation, battery storage, data centre , a Point Energy Centre as well as plasterboard recycling. This kind of reflection enables consideration of the factors inhibiting development as well as probing other potentials, some more realisable than others. A follow on discussion on environmental works at Portnaguran was had and a site visit is planned. The Report was noted. (3) Croft Woodlands Project Viv Halcrow submitted a Progress Report on the Croft Woodland Projects This was noted. (4) LED Community Report Dan Morrison submitted a Progress Report on the LED Energy Project. This was noted. (5) COBEN An expression of interest for PST was prepared by Greenspace and submitted to Local Energy Scotland in a bid to become one of four areas in the Highlands and Islands to prepare a Local Energy Plan.

The above includes insurance premium tax at 12% Commission. The quotation is based on the General Manager as the main driver with the vehicle kept overnight in his driveway. All other drivers are aged over 21 without any claims, convictions or disability. The cover is on a comprehensive basis with £150 excess with the following additional excesses applying :- Glass £75 or £10 for a repair if using an approved repairer otherwise - £125 Drivers aged 21-25 - £200 Drivers over 25 but who have not yet had a licence for 12 months - £200 Use is restricted to carriage of no fare paying passengers. Annual Mileage approx. 10,000. A decision on whether PST should enter into a contract hire agreement at a total cost of £52,120 for the Crew Bus is required. It was agreed that Point and Sandwick Trust would enter into a contract hire agreement for a Renault Traffic LWB diesel business 9 seater minibus at a total cost of £52,120 subject to the above conditions and that various community uses for the Crew Bus would be discussed at the Away Day to be held on 25 October 2017. (7) Away Day The Away Day in the West Harris Community Rooms, Horgabost, for Wednesday 25th October has been booked and a deposit paid.

Output Update The output in June was 2392 MWhrs, July was 1,645,and August 1,823. The summer months have been just under P50 but higher than the same period last year. 2. Income Update The wholesale price has bounced back since the below £40 dip in May and continues to be in the forties. This is again higher than last year. The combination of higher production and higher prices than last year means that we are on target in terms of the Financial Model. 3. Compensation Claims There has been nothing back from the National Grid since our last response to their queries and another prompt has been sent. 4. Enercon Variation Costs Claim There has been no word either from Enercon regarding their final variation claim for upfill at the turbine location, though we continue to keep an amount aside just in case.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues. Water Safety Policy in Scotland— A Guide 3 Section A: The Problem Table 1: Overall Fatalities 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 2010 2011 2012 2013 Data from National Water Safety Forum, WAID database, July 14 In recent years the number of drownings in Scotland has remained generally constant.

  • Chris Ryan on Behalf of 52 Lewis and Harris Businesses – 3 April 2008
    Submission from Chris Ryan on behalf of 52 Lewis and Harris businesses – 3 April 2008 Dear Sir/Madam 7-DAY FERRY SERVICES TO LEWIS & HARRIS The undersigned businesses, all based in the Western Isles, request that Sunday ferry services to Lewis & Harris should be introduced in the summer of 2008. This will be a necessary and long overdue development with the potential to improve the islands’ tourism industry in line with the Scottish Governments’ target of a 50% increase in tourism revenues. The proposed introduction of RET fares from October 2008 is also likely to result in increased demand and additional capacity will be needed to cope with peak season demand, particularly at weekends. However, our view as businesses is that Sunday services must be phased-in ahead of RET and that they should certainly be in place for summer 2008. Apart from the immediate boost for the local economy, this would give accommodation providers and tourism related businesses an indication of the response to weekend services and allow for business planning for the summer of 2009, which is the Year of Homecoming. Quite apart from the many social benefits, Sunday ferry services will make a major difference to the local economy by extending the tourist season, enabling businesses to work more efficiently and spreading visitor benefits throughout the islands. As a specific example, the Hebridean Celtic Festival, held in July, attracts over 15,000 people and contributes over £1m to the local economy. A Sunday ferry service would mean that many visitors to the festival would stay an extra night, enjoy all 4 –days of the festival and see more of the islands.

To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.
