Unst Community Council Chair Clerk Patrick Fordyce Josie Mcmillan Annsbrae Rockfield Burrafirth Haroldswick Haroldswick Unst, Shetland Unst Community Council Chair Clerk Patrick Fordyce Josie McMillan Annsbrae Rockfield Burrafirth Haroldswick Haroldswick Unst, Shetland Unst, Shetland 0 Tel: 01957 711554 Email: [email protected] Minutes of the meeting held on Monday 6th May 2019 at 6.30 pm in the Baltasound School, Music Huts Present: Patrick Fordyce, Chair Claire Priest, Vice Chair David Cooper Caroline Hunter John Peterson Hazel Spence Gordon Thomson Attending: Frances Browne, Community Learning and Development Officer Josie McMillan, Clerk 01/05/19 Apologies: Janice Priest Julie Thomson PC Simon Findlay Alec Priest, North Isles Councillor (ex-officio) Duncan Simpson, North Isles Councillor (ex-officio) Ryan Thomson, North Isles Councillor (ex-officio) Michael Duncan, Community Council Liaison Officer 02/05/19 North Isles Fibre, Tommy Coutts and Marvin Smith, SIC Economic Development Service This has been postponed until the next meeting, 17th June, because of the ferry breakdown on Yell Sound. 03/05/19 Minutes from the Last Meeting The minutes from the meeting held on Monday 25th March 2019 were proposed by Caroline and seconded by Hazel. 04/05/19 Declaration of Interest There were no declarations of interest. 05/05/19 Matters Arising from last minutes 13/01/19.6 White Wife Statue Gordon explained that the application for the statue has been submitted. It will be on the Watlee side of the road, near the turn off down to the loch. It will sit well back from the road; it will be between 5 and 6 foot tall and will face to the east. There should be plenty space for parking if tourists want to stop to look at it. 11/03/19.4 SIC Roads update Neil Hutcheson, SIC Roads, emailed a list of proposed work to be done and also a copy of the SIC roads on Unst. The road at Upper Sotland is to have a cross drain cleared or replaced, ditching and the patching of defects. In the medium term this road will be surface dressed when the squad is next in Unst. The bend at Littlehamar where the surface is cracked and failed will need an inlaid patch, perhaps with machine laid asphalt. Alma/Westbreck to be resurfaced but the Westing road has priority at the moment. The Westing roads to be resurfaced in the summers of 2020 and 2022. Probably the Westing road itself and Westing junction to Underhoull first, followed by Underhoull to the A968. Gardie, Uyeasound is to be patched. The Westside Road, Uyeasound is badly out of shape so is to be excavated and reconstructed, again probably with machine laid asphalt. 06/05/19 Unst Partnership (UP) Update. Gordon explained that the shop is still doing really well. The development worker is employed until September. UP directors are looking at different options for the future, but Gordon says that the shop will carry on operating although it involves a lot of work and voluntary hours. The Unst Tourism Map for 2019 has been printed and distributed. Gordon explained that Chas Hollis is no longer going to work with the Walkers are Welcome website or the Unst Cycle Hire business. There was a discussion about what could be done with the bikes, several possibilities were discussed but there needs to be someone available to hire the bikes out as well as make repairs to them. Mr Hollis has suggested putting the bikes, 5 gents and 5 ladies, to the Shetland Community Bike Project in Lerwick if there is no one willing to take on the business on Unst. Gordon is going to work with the Walkers are Welcome website. Gordon also explained that the five Development Groups in the North Isles (Unst Partnership, North Yell Development Council, Mid Yell Development Company, Burravoe and District Development Group and Fetlar Development Trust) are to seek an Enablement Grant from the Scottish Government's Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) to investigate whether they should get involved in buying Community Shares in the Energy Isles North Yell Wind project. They have asked the three North Isles Community Councils for a letter of support to go with their application. This was discussed, he explained that the letter does not commit the Community Council to approve the Wind Project, it is simply to get Legal and Financial advice on whether the 5 Community Development groups should proceed with such an investment. It was agreed to write a letter of support. 07/05/19 Community Involvement Update Frances explained that as a follow up to meetings between tourism businesses and Linda Coutts, SIC Economic Development Department and Steve Mathieson, VisitScotland, in December last year they are planning another meeting after this tourist season is finished. They discussed looking at encouraging more small cruise ship visits and tourist businesses organising bespoke tours, e.g. spinning and knitting. There was a discussion about the need for a pontoon at the pier in Baltasound for visiting yachts as well as cruise ships. Frances is also working with the Uyeasound hall investigating an extension. She said about a meeting that has been organised with the Heritage Centre, by Roxanne Permar, Centre for Rural Creativity at Shetland College, and Susan Timmins, an artist she is working in collaboration with. They have been in discussions with Minnie Mouatt, Frances Browne and Melanie Mouat. And are looking at developing a project that looks at the Cold War period in Unst, and the impact of the RAF on the community. 08/05/19 Application for Donation There were no applications. 09/05/19 Application for Unadopted Roads There were four applications for unadopted road grants. Linda Thomson for Prestegaard, Uyeasound which is on the SIC list as 75 metres. She was awarded a grant of £150. Robert Thomson applied for The Creek, Haroldswick. This road measures 435 metres and was awarded a grant of £220. John Thomson applied for Buddigarth, Haroldswick, 203 metres, and Gardie, Baliasta, 117 metres. These were awarded £203 and £117 respectively. All grants are paid once a receipt for material has been received by the Clerk. 10/05/19 Application for planning Planning Ref: 2019/090/PPF Proposal: To construct an interpretation shelter and toilets at NNR entrance and expand car parking Address: Hermaness, Unst, Shetland Applicant: Mr Juan Brown Date of Consultation: 15 April 2019 There was a lot of discussion about this planning application. The Community Council has written to SIC Roads over the years about the single track road into Burrafirth and down to the Shorestation and the lack of passing places. There has been an objection put in by a resident at the shorestation who states that this road “already exceeds capacity in the summer months, causing problems to both residents and crofters.” They say that bumper to bumper confrontations between tourists is a regular occurrence and that the brig into Burrafirth is showing cracks and the road significant subsidence. Community Councillors discussed how best to put these points again to Neil Hutcheson, SIC Roads and Juan Brown, Scottish Natural Heritage. Mr Brown has been in Unst several times but has not contacted the Community Council to discuss their planning applications. Mr Hutcheson said when he was in Unst that the last part of the road up to the carpark had not been adopted by the Council, although the grazing’s committee believed that it had been. There were several suggestions discussed and it was decided that the first step would be for Patrick to contact Neil Hutcheson and outline all the concerns raised by members. 11/05/19 Application for Community Ferry Hires 11/05/19.1 Shetland Accordion & Fiddle Festival 12/10/19 - Belmont 0115 and Ulsta 0200 It was agreed to approve this request for a community ferry hire after their planned concert in Uyeasound. 11/05/19.2 UnstFest 14/07/19 - Belmont 0130 It was agreed to approve this request for a community hire after the Rhythmnreel event. The Clerk will book these ferries with SIC Ferries Department. 12/05/19 Community Council Finances 12/05/19.1 Community Development Fund (CDF) Application The Community Council’s application for the CDF funding was approved by the Council. The Clerk has sent out Da Voar Redd Up letters to groups that are registered with the Community Council. 13/05/19 A.O.C.B. 13/05/19.1 SIC Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland – Review of Boundaries for Shetland Islands Areas Members were in favour of having two councillors covering Unst, Yell and Fetlar. 13/05/19.2 SIC Review of Streetlighting Reduction Policy, Gutter Street and East Road, Uyeasound Community Councillors have had several complaints about these streetlights being removed so are going to request that they are reinstated. Ryan will follow this up on behalf of the Community Council. 13/05/19.3 Road Matter The sign pointing to the ferry, at the Shirva junction has been damaged. The “reduce speed now” sign between the garage and the bus shelter has been turned around so wording isn’t visible to motorists. One of the signs at Nordalea has been damaged. The Clerk will write to Roads Department about this. 13/05/19.4 Viking Energy Community Energy Benefit meeting 22nd May 2019 There is a meeting of this group on Wednesday 22nd May at Market House, Lerwick at 6pm.

  • Unst Community Development Plan Consultation
    Unst Community Development Plan Consultation Summary report following an ‘Ideas Day’ Held in Unst on the 23rd of October 2010. 1. Summary Unst Partnership (a company Ltd by Guarantee with Charitable Status) was established in 2000 in response to the closure of the Unst airport. The drawdown and departure of the RAF in 2006 created a further economic setback; the population almost halved, and Between 1999 and 2007 it is estimated that FTE (full time equivalent) jobs fell by 175 or 42%.1 During the last ten years, the Unst Partnership has sought to regenerate the island through a number of initiatives. The island remains economically fragile, though population decline appears to be stabilising and considerable strategic opportunity exists to safeguard and further develop infrastructure, business and the tourism industry on the island. Unst Partnership recognises the need for the whole Unst community to work together to make the best use of resources and wishes to adopt a more strategic approach to community development, considering this to be particularly important during the current financial climate. The Partnership is committed to building its reputation as a progressive community development company, and has acknowledged that full community involvement in, and ownership of, its activities is crucial in order to effect real change. Unst Partnership wishes to see a Community Development Plan compiled on Unst, and is currently working with community members, community groups, businesses and stakeholders to gather views, identify priorities and establish potential projects for implementation. The ‘Unst Ideas Day’ was the first of a number of community events planned as part of the consultation process.

  • Hermaness NNR 2009 - 2015
    The Reserve Plan Review for Hermaness NNR 2009 - 2015 Foreword Hermaness National Nature Reserve (NNR) stands at the most northerly point of Britain amidst the wild Shetland landscape and exposed to the harsh North Atlantic Ocean. Magnificent cliffs adorn most of the reserve coastline and are host to more than one hundred thousand breeding seabirds - one of the largest seabird colonies in Britain. The seabird colony is internationally important and supports particularly large numbers of gannet, puffin and the world’s third largest colony of great skua. Kittiwake, guillemot and fulmar also breed on the reserve in large numbers and during the summer the seascape is alive with streams of busy auks and gannets providing food for their offspring. Inland, blanket bog covers much of the terrain and secluded bog pools provide nesting habitat for breeding red-throated divers. Hermaness is one of a suite of NNRs in Scotland. Scotland’s NNRs are special places for nature, where some of the best examples of Scotland’s wildlife are managed. Every NNR is carefully managed both for nature and for people, giving visitors the opportunity to experience our rich natural heritage. In 2009, we carried out a public consultation on our proposals for management. Your feedback from the consultation informed the completion of the Reserve Plan 2009 – 2015, which set out our management of the reserve during that period. We have now come to the end of that plan and have started to think about the future direction of our management. This report reviews our achievements and progress against the management objectives set out in the reserve plan for Hermaness National Nature Reserve 2009 – 2015.
