Inverness: St. Columba Church of Scotland New Inverness: St Columba Church of Scotland New Charge Community Audit Report April 2010 Registered Scottish Charity SC008109 2 www.stcolumbainverness.org Registered Scottish Charity SC008109 Background The Church of Scotland’s Presbytery of Inverness has long had a vision of Summary of Main Findings and Conclusions: The predominant feature of the seeing a new church established on the rapidly flourishing south side of Parish is that it is comprises a series of new housing developments. The Parish Inverness around the Slackbuie / Ness-side area. That opportunity became is in the main a very young and a growing, developing community. There are reality in 2009. Following the retirement of the then Minister of St Columba few community use buildings actually within the Parish. All the existing High Parish Church, the Presbytery decided, following consultation with the facilities are concentrated at one end – at or near the Fairways Business Park. congregation of St. Columba High Church, that the suite of buildings in the city Significant further housing development is planned, including a new primary centre at Bank Street would close and the congregation would transport to a school at Ness Castle, and two supermarkets within associated neighbourhood new charge (church) being established in a new Parish at Slackbuie /Ness-side. centres. It was also found that within those households surveyed there was an As part of the process of establishing a new church it was identified that an overwhelming sense that people really enjoy living in the Parish. It is a good audit of the community in the area of the new Parish would be a helpful, if not place to live. There was also good support for the establishment of a church a crucial foundational task. This document presents the results of that Audit. within the Parish – just over 45% of those surveyed said “they would welcome a new church,” whilst 47% expressed ambivalence. The Task: To audit or survey the community living in the new Parish and to Photograph 1: Church site as allocated in the Inverness Local Plan discover what other agencies are doing and plan to do there. The Purpose of the Audit: To state what the Parish is like by profiling certain aspects of the people already there and likely to be living there in the next five years. Also to enable the provisional shape of the church and its leadership needs to be identified, including highlighting any specific needs in the parish. Methodology: The task was undertaken by a group of ten volunteers who both consulted publicly available statistics and information (“hard data”) and who collected “soft data” mainly using a questionnaire and from interviews from which the opinions of those living in the Parish and those organisations working in the Parish already were obtained. Timeframe: The Audit was undertaken between the period of October 2009 and March 2010. The door to door survey was conducted in the first two weeks of February 2010. 3 www.stcolumbainverness.org Registered Scottish Charity SC008109 To the North: the Southern Distributor Road, then Dores Road towards town. To the West: the River Ness To the South: an undefined line across heather moorland To the East: Old Edinburgh Road South 4 www.stcolumbainverness.org Registered Scottish Charity SC008109 The City of Inverness and the Parish1 Whilst the audit concentrated predominantly on the Parish area, it is Economic Prosperity important to place the Parish in the wider context of the City of Inverness and The audit did not concern itself with issues of the economic welfare of the Highlands generally. Inverness is now celebrating its 10 year anniversary Inverness and the Highlands. But to understand the Parish fully it is perhaps of gaining city status. The population of Inverness has grown by 4,574 from helpful to draw on the comments of others and of the statistics made available 53,157 in 2001 to 57,731 in 2009 and it is expected to grow further in the next to us by the NHS and Highland Council (not published here as they are 10 years by up to 7,000, an increase of up to 12%. The most recent statistics common with the NHS data) to appreciate the economic situation in the available from The Highland Council are included at Appendix 3. The Parish Inverness area. area is one of the key areas where housing development is being undertaken in the city of Inverness. The results from our survey asking how long people “There have been differences through time in the definitions used to count have lived in their house bears that out – over 77% of those contacted moved jobs so comparisons must be treated with caution. The number of jobs in into their home within the last five years. Inverness has increased from 31,000 to 43,000 during the last decade with significant increases in distribution (+2,000), transport (+1,000), banking Photograph 2: Fairways Golf Driving Range (+3,500) and the public sector (+6,500) with a loss in energy (-2,000 but mainly due to a change in definitions). Tourism is an extremely important revenue generator for Inverness and the Highlands; it is this sector that provides the majority of the overall revenue generated in the Highlands providing around £920m to the Highland economy in 2008." Relative to Inverness itself “The number of people unemployed and claiming Job Seekers Allowance in Inverness is just under a thousand, almost the same as a decade ago, falling from 2.9% to 2.6% of the working age population over the period. However the number of unemployed people has almost doubled over the last 18 months as a result of the credit crunch and recession (i.e. the figure was around 500 only 18 months ago)." 1 Data is accredited to The Highland Council, Planning and Development Service 5 www.stcolumbainverness.org Registered Scottish Charity SC008109 Cultural Diversity Housing growth The audit did not address issues of racial origin or background. The survey did By reference to the local plan and what is actually occurring in the first few not collate any results on this. However, others in the Highlands have months of 2010 “on the ground” the Parish is still growing, with much more undertaken such studies. “Culture is extremely important to residents in the new housing planned. As at February 2010 the number of completed houses Highlands with much emphasis on the Gaelic tradition. However, although the was 1080. There are presently four active building sites constructing homes, Highlands are predominantly made up of people from white background it is (three belonging to Tulloch Homes Ltd and the other to McGinnis Group Ltd). important to acknowledge ethnic minority groups that are present and cater There is also a major planning application lodged for the creation of 984 for their needs. Around 99% of the overall Inverness area population is of white houses at Ness Castle, to be built over a significant period of time. Our survey background and only 1% from other ethnic backgrounds. The statistical split is: did not specifically ask if homes were either owned or rented, but the NHS White British (97%), Other White (1.8%), Indian (0.2%), Pakistan/Other South data available would tend to suggest in the Parish there is little if any social Asian (0.3%), Chinese (0.2%) and Other Ethnic Backgrounds (0.5%)." These rented housing, there is no public local authority housing and private rented statistics do not mention the sizeable community of Polish economic migrants, housing accounts for between 3% and 10% of all housing. The overwhelming some of whom are living in the Parish. majority of housing is privately owned. In accordance with planning policy 25% of all housing built in the parish is affordable housing.

That was consistent with the survey results. Presently within the Parish there is one dental surgery, Castle House Dental Practice, based at the Fairways business park, but there are no Doctor’s Also consistent generally was the finding of the number of children in the surgeries or health centres. Nigel Small, General Manager of the South East households – 22% (children up to age 17) with the national average being Highland Community Health Partnership, stated that, “There are no current about 18%. What perhaps is surprising was the considerably lower than plans for further development of any health care buildings in the Parish”, citing national average percentage of the population living in the Parish age 65 and a present lack of funding as the barrier to progress of such a development. over. The Audit results showed less than 2% of the sample survey whereas the Some use has been made of Culduthel Christian Centre (see photo 5) for Scottish average is 20% of pensionable age. This seeming anomaly could be visiting healthcare professionals including a Podiatrist, Mr. K Mackenzie who down to the areas which we audited, although we did attempt to be has now opened a clinic at Fairways Business Park.

The health boards are listed in alphabetical order, followed by the name of the MSPs, their party and the constituency or region they represent. The boundaries of health boards and parliamentary constituencies do not coincide, so some constituencies overlap into two or more health boards. Where this happens the MSP representing the constituency will be listed under all relevant health boards. Similarly, where the boundary of a Scottish Parliament region overlaps into two or more health boards all of the MSPs elected to represent that region will be listed under all relevant health boards.
