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.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. 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.

Western Isles Local Plan: Pre Inquiry Update
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 13 JUNE 2007 WESTERN ISLES LOCAL PLAN: PRE INQUIRY UPDATE Report by Director for Sustainable Communities PURPOSE OF REPORT To provide an update on the Local Plan Inquiry process and consider further proposed modifications to the Local Plan. COMPETENCE 1.1 There are no legal or other constraints to the recommendations being implemented. The financial implications arising from the Local Plan Inquiry have not been included in core budgets for 2007-08 and monitoring of the associated unavoidable costs will be reported to Policy and Resources Committee as part of the normal financial monitoring process. SUMMARY 2.1 The statutory Development Plan preparation process allows for unresolved Local Plan consultation objections to be considered by an independent Reporter and, as noted at the last Committee series, provisional arrangements were made for a Local Plan Inquiry (LPI) to commence on 25 June 2007. However, no objectors have indicated to the Reporter that they wish their objection to be considered at formal LPI or informal hearing and accordingly the remaining outstanding objections will now be considered via written representation submissions. 2.2 A number of original objections to the Local Plan have been successfully resolved through negotiations and/or proposed modifications to the Local Plan. However, currently 7 objectors have indicated they are maintaining objections and a further 43 are assumed to be maintaining objections (i.e. the objector has not indicated to the Comhairle or Reporter that the objection is withdrawn). The position regarding objections is outlined in Appendix 1. 2.3 In response to recent negotiations, further proposed modifications to the Local Plan that will result in objection withdrawal are proposed in Appendix 2.

Stunning shell sand beaches fringed with machair, vast expanses of moorland, rugged hills, dramatic cliffs and surrounding seas all contain a rich biodiversity of flora, fauna and marine life. Together with a thriving Gaelic culture, this provides an inspiring island environment to live, study and work in, and a culturally rich place to explore as a visitor. The islands are privileged to be home to several award-winning contemporary Art Centres and Festivals, plus a creative trail of many smaller artist/maker run spaces. This publication aims to guide you to the galleries, shops and websites, where Art and Craft made in the Outer Hebrides can be enjoyed. En-route there are numerous sculptures, landmarks, historical and archaeological sites to visit. The guide documents some (but by no means all) of these contemplative places, which interact with the surrounding landscape, interpreting elements of island history and relationships with the natural environment. The Comhairle’s Heritage and Library Services are comprehensively detailed. Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway, by special loan from the British Museum, is home to several of the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the UK. Throughout the islands a network of local historical societies, run by dedicated volunteers, hold a treasure trove of information, including photographs, oral histories, genealogies, croft histories and artefacts specific to their locality.

Submission from Mointeach Gun Mhuilean Moorlands Without Turbines
SUBMISSION FROM MOINTEACH GUN MHUILEAN MOORLANDS WITHOUT TURBINES Visit to Lewis, Monday 24 April 2006 We are aware that the purpose of your visit is with regard to crofting issues. However, we take strong exception to the inclusion of John Price from Lewis Wind Power in the proceedings. We are concerned that you are fully aware of the level of opposition to the proposed large-scale windfarm developments on the Isle of Lewis. The following provides a review of indicators. To date 17 measures of public opinion on the Western Isles, ranging from grazing committee ballots to a Western Isles wide BBC/MORI poll, have found significant majority opposition to the proposals. Table 1 provides a summary of survey findings. Further, in response to the two planning applications currently being considered, the Scottish Executive has received over 9, 500 representations objecting to the proposals1 2with approximately 77% originating on the Western Isles. (Only 38 letters of support have been submitted) Measured opposition to the proposals is most significant in the areas directly affected by the proposals, where consistently up to 80% of the population has expressed its opposition. The strength of public opposition was reflected in the voting of councillors in wards where ballots were held (see Map 1), representing ward populations of approximately 6000 people. This opposition is present in spite of the ‘community benefit’ incentives that are being offered by the developers. However, there is widespread support for small renewable projects, for example, a number of wind turbines have already been erected and a small marine project is also being pursued within the communities affected by the Lewis Wind Power proposal.
