  • Roads Revenue Programme 2008/2009 Purpose Of
    DMR13108 TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE 16 APRIL 2008 ROADS REVENUE PROGRAMME 2008/2009 PURPOSE OF Report by Director of Technical Services REPORT To propose the Roads Revenue Programme for 2008/2009 for Members’ consideration. COMPETENCE 1.1 There are no legal, financial or other constraints to the recommendations being implemented. 1.2 Financial provision is contained within the Comhairle’s Roads Revenue Estimates for the 2008/2009 financial year which allow for the expenditure detailed in this report. SUMMARY 2.1 Members are aware of the continuing maintenance programme undertaken to the roads network throughout the Comhairle’s area on an annual basis with these maintenance works including such items as resurfacing, surface dressing, and general repairs etc. 2.2 The Marshall Block shown in Appendix 1 summarises the proposed revenue expenditure under the various heads for the 2008/2009 financial year and the detailed programme is given in Appendix 2. 2.3 Members are asked to note that because of the unforeseen remedial works that may arise, minor changes may have to be carried out to the programme at departmental level throughout the course of the financial year. 2.4 As Members will be aware the road network has in the last twelve months deteriorated at a greater rate than usual. This is mainly due to the aging bitumen in the surface together with the high number of wet days in the last few months. As a result it is proposed that a proportion of the road surfacing budget be used for “Cut Out Patching.” Due to the rising cost of bitumen products and the stagnant nature of the budget it is not felt appropriate to look at longer sections of surfacing until the damage of the last twelve months has been repaired.

  • Papua (Indonesia) Scotland Study Tour Report 2015
    A Report on the Climate Change Study Visit to Scotland by Planners from Papua Province, Indonesia, led by the Centre For Human Ecology, March 2015 by Alastair McIntosh, Vérène Nicolas & Sibongile Pradhan The team of delegates from BAPPEDA, the government planning agency of Papua Province, Indonesia, at a community land monument on the Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland Why would government officials from the planning agency in Papua Province, Indonesia, come all the way to Scotland to learn about climate change and sustainable community development? Why, indeed, as part of a programme that has now been running with the Centre for Human Ecology since 2012? The answer is that Scotland’s community-based land trusts are leading the world in practices that try to tackle climate change from the bottom up. This is based on local empowerment and deepening the connection between people and the land. 1 Background to the Study Tour The first Papua delegation that went to Eigg in 2012 witnessed an island that now produces over 90% of its domestic energy requirements from self-managed local renewables. Another delegation in 2013 saw how development trusts are building local capacity with a strong renewable energy emphasis at Fintry, just outside Glasgow. The delegation this year was sent from BAPPEDA, the Papuan Provincial Government planning agency, with the support of the UK government’s Climate Change Unit in Indonesia. It was led by CHE Fellows Vérène Nicolas and her husband, Professor Alastair McIntosh, author of books including Soil and Soul, Rekindling Community and Hell and High Water: Climate Change, Hope and the Human Condition.

  • [Details of People Cleared from Orinsay in 1843]
    [Details of People Cleared from Orinsay in 1843] The following list of all the families who lived in Orinsay when the people were cleared from there is based on the 1841 census returns which were taken two years before the township was cleared. The list also sets out the location to which the various families went after they were evicted from Orinsay. Fourteen families went to Crossbost, which was previously a Tack, 3 families went to Leurbost, 2 families went to Steimreway and one family each to Grimshader and Sandwick, and one family emigrated. There were about half a dozen senior citizen households who probably went with their relatives. There were a total of about 145 people in Orinsay when it was cleared. Originally there were only 27 crofts in Crossbost and the 14 families evicted from Orinsay first tenanted the following 12 crofts in 1843. The crofts were crofts 4 & 5 (two families), 6, 8 & 13 (two families), 15, 16, 19, 21, 22, 24 and 25. Families fleeing from the Lemreway clearance in 1843 occupied the following Crossbost crofts: 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11, (2 two families on each croft), 14, 17, 18, 20, 23, 26 and 27.

  • Highland Clearances on the Isle of Lewis
    Donald Macdonald has written what will surely be regarded as one of the most authoritative works ever to be published on the history ofthe Island of Lewis. The twenty-four chapters cover a wide variety of subjects and events from prehistoric times through the Norse period, the clan feuds and the various LEWIS proprietorships up until the present day, with every aspect oflife carefully examined. The many years of research involved in compiling this book was undertaken with a great affection and respect for a heritage which has long HISTOR o THE ISLAND been neglected by the educational system. However, there is a stirring of life in Lewis today, and the people have a genuine desire to learn more about their forebears who contributed so much to the development of the Island with little to compensate them for their labours. This book will provide an important reference for everyone interested in the history of Lewis and establish a sound basis for further research. Donald Macdonald was born in 1904 in the village of North Tolsta, a crofting-fishingcommunity on the Island of Lewis. On leaving the village school, he completed his secondary education at the Nicolson Institute in Stomoway and then attended Glasgow University where he graduated M.A. and was also awarded a blue for shinty. After teacher training at Jordanhill College, he came to Edinburgh where he taught for the nextTorty-one years, serving in deaf, primary, secondary and Further Education schools, and for a time during the War, in a pre-air crew Training Centre. For seven years, he was a Further Education Headmaster, and twenty years a Headmaster in Primary Schools, the last of which was Corstomhine 'E in Edinburgh where he spent fourteen years until his retiral in 1970.
