Cromarty Rising's Petition PE1637 Called on the Scottish Parliament To
Cromarty Rising’s petition PE1637 called on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to ensure that environmental legislation in Scotland is sufficient to prevent ship-to-ship transfers of crude oil in environmentally sensitive locations, such as the Inner Moray Firth, and to enhance the accountability of trust port boards to their stakeholders. We would invite the committee to consider new information on health impacts on communities, the Freeport initiative and Scottish Ministers lack of control of Trust Ports Using the Cromarty Firth as an example, many local residents have spent their working lives in oil and gas production, indeed, the oil industry has been in Cromarty’s backyard for over 40 years. However, in the last year or more the noise from work on visiting rigs has taken impacts on the Cromarty community to new levels. This is due to the Port of Cromarty Firth (PoCF), offering the operators of rigs new mooring points close to Cromarty. This has already been the subject of a record number of complaints to Highland Council and to PoCF. Cromarty and District Community Council (CDCC) canvassed local opinion to find some 80% of responses highlighting a shared "hate" of the noise from these structures. CDCC has now formally adopted a position to support action, and comment as necessary, to oppose this noise pollution around Cromarty. Examples of health impacts on residents include: • Constant noise vibrations causing sensory invasion for residents with profound hearing loss. • Sleep deprivation forcing resident to move away for a number of days due to chronic noise exposure.

Population Change in Caithness and Sutherland 2001 to 2011
THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda 4. Item CAITHNESS AND SUTHERLAND AREA COMMITTEE Report CS/2/14 No 11TH FEBRUARY 2014 POPULATION CHANGE IN CAITHNESS AND SUTHERLAND 2001 TO 2011 Report by Director of Planning and Development Summary This report looks at the early results from the 2011 Census, giving local information on the number and ages of people living within Highland. It compares these figures with those from 2001 to show that the Highland population has “aged”, and that a large number of people are close to retirement age. The population of Caithness and Sutherland has grown by 3.3% (compared to the Highland average of 11.1%) with an increase in four out of six Wards, and at a local level in 34 out of 58 data zones. Local population growth is strongly linked to the building of new homes. 1. Background 1.1. Publication of the results from the 2011 Census began in December 2012, and the most recent published in November and December 2013 gave the first detailed results for “census output areas”, the smallest areas for which results are published. These detailed results have enabled us to prepare the first 2011 Census profiles and these are available for Wards, Associated School Groups, Community Councils and Settlement Zones on our website at: link to census profiles 1.2. This report returns to some earlier results and looks at how the age profile of the Caithness and Sutherland population and the total numbers have changed at a local level (datazones). These changes are summarised in Briefing Note 57 which is attached at Appendix 1.
