HIAL Air Traffic Management Strategy Community Engagement Event: Mr Robertson had attended the above event on Thursday 16th January, as had Cllrs Smith and MacGregor. Andrew Farquhar, Sumburgh Airport Manager, had stated in a previous email that “the HIAL Board met on 17th and 18th December and agreed a number of factors that will allow us to move forward with the next steps in the ATMS project”. Representing HIAL were Ross McAllister, Susan Mail and Catriona Wheeler. Mr Robertson reported that those attending the 'engagement event' had been shocked to learn from HIAL that it is planned to move Sumburgh Air Traffic Control to Inverness as soon as March 2024 as part of its plan to centralise ATC. With in the region of 18 jobs at Sumburgh potentially affected by the move, members were concerned of the impact this would have on the local economy, schools etc. It was noted that these plans also contradict the Scottish Government's recently published Islands Plan which seeks to protect and improve services and employment in island communities. Inglis Lyon had suggest that staff could commute from Shetland to Inverness but this was considered to be an unlikely option. Many had believed that transferring Sumburgh ATC to a centralised facility would be quite complicated and therefore years away – it did ever happen. Concerns were raised with regards to whether current technology is reliable enough in Sumburgh's case but it was noted that HIAL appear very confident that this will not be an issue. Cllr Smith reminded members that any proposals by HIAL will have to be passed by the Civil Aviation Authority before they can be implemented. Other HIAL airports which are to have their air traffic systems centralised are Dundee, Inverness, Kirkwall and Stornoway with services at Wick and Benbecula to be downgraded. Cllr Smith reported that SIC are putting a list of questions to HIAL on the matter. It was agreed that the Community Council will also write with their concerns. 19/73 CORRESPONDENCE 1. Email ref.

Community Council Complaints Procedure: A draft copy of the Community Council Complaints Procedure was attached for consideration. The document is scheduled to be considered at the next ASCC meeting on 10th March. Although the members hoped that no one ever had cause to make a complaint, they were pleased that a procedure was being put in place. 5. Email ref. National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4): The early engagement period for the development of NPF4 is now underway. NPF4 will be a long term plan for Scotland, setting out where development and infrastructure is needed to support sustainable and inclusive growth. Forming part of the development plan, it will be a key in day-to-day decisions at all levels of planning in Scotland. Further details can be found at https://blogs.gov.scot/planning-architecure/2020/01/09/national-planning- framework-4-npf4-early-engagement-now-underway/ 6. Email ref. Memorial Inspections: As reported in the media, local authorities in Scotland have been instructed to carry out regular safety checks of memorials within their burial grounds following a tragic accident in a Glasgow cemetery in which a child died. Over the coming months, staff from SIC will be carrying out safety assessments at cemeteries and churchyards across the isles. Any memorial which fails will have a green safety notice placed next to it. If it is judged to be dangerous, it will be re-fixed, staked and tied or braced with wooden supports and cordoned off. Responsibility for the maintenance of memorials lies with the lair holder or their representatives. If you see a green safety notice next to your memorial, you should contact a stonemason who has been approved by the Council to complete repairs – you can find details of those online at https://www.shetland.gov.uk/burial-services/ as well as a Memorial Permit Application form which will need to be completed. You can also contact Burial Services on 01595 744853 or 744898 or email [email protected] Cllr MacGregor stressed that anyone who finds it difficult to organise/fund repairs, should contact either the Burial Service or their local councillor for assistance. 7. Email ref. Property Flooding Concern: The Clerk reported that she had received an email from a Levenwick resident who had concerns that her property might be susceptible to flooding from a burn running through the garden. The Clerk had passed on the details to the SIC and South Mainland Councillors. Cllr MacGregor had taken on the matter and was in contact with SIC Roads who had promised to make a site visit. 19/73/8 MINUTE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL AT NEXT COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEETING 20 January 2020 page five of five 19/73 CORRESPONDENCE (Continued) 8.

The Clerk will forward a copy of the questions to Mr Robertson to put to the SACC. 19/74 ANY OTHER BUSINESS 1.

  • 'Ridland' Shetland Islands, Scotland Family 'Ridling' New Zealand
    ~ 1 ~ FAMILY ‘RIDLAND’ SHETLAND ISLANDS, SCOTLAND FAMILY ‘RIDLING’ NEW ZEALAND HISTORY AND GENEALOGY Above: Andrew and Ellen Ridling and family of New Zealand ~ 2 ~ INTRODUCTION… Leaving school at the age of fourteen was illegal in New Zealand during the mid- 20th century, and yet I took this path as I found school irksome and was determined to go farming. As a result, my grammar and spelling has not always been 100 per cent. However, this lack of schooling has not been a major handicap with the different professions I chose throughout my lifetime. After my webpage has received 20,000 views without one comment about my many spelling and grammar mistakes, I have decided that it is information people require and not always immaculate presentation. Despite having chosen my own path in life, I have always been acutely aware that I was not properly educated. I felt that being unable to write “proper like” indicated a very poor background and the probability that one would never achieve in life. However, during the 19th century, it was readily accepted that being able to read and write was considered a middle- and upper-class privilege and if you were poor you would always be poor and wouldn’t get on in life because of your unfortunate status and lack of formal education. This was the status that most of my ‘Mold’ family were living in, in Northamptonshire from before the year 1500 through to late 1800s, when one branch, my branch, moved to New Zealand. This was the same for one branch of the Redland/Ridling family.

  • Records of Species and Subspecies Recorded in Scotland on up to 20 Occasions
    Records of species and subspecies recorded in Scotland on up to 20 occasions In 1993 SOC Council delegated to The Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC) responsibility for maintaining the Scottish List (list of all species and subspecies of wild birds recorded in Scotland). In turn, SBRC appointed a subcommittee to carry out this function. Current members are Dave Clugston, Ron Forrester (Secretary), Angus Hogg, Bob McGowan Chris McInerny and Roger Riddington (Chairman). In 1996, Peter Gordon and David Clugston, on behalf of SBRC, produced a list of records of species recorded in Scotland on up to 5 occasions (Gordon & Clugston 1996). Subsequently, SBRC decided to expand this list to include all acceptable records of both species and subspecies recorded on up to 20 occasions (Andrews & Naylor 2002). The last occasion that a complete list of records appeared in print was in The Birds of Scotland, which included all records up until 2004 (Forrester et al. 2007). During the period from 2002 until 2013, amendments and updates to the list of records appeared regularly as part of SBRC’s Scottish List Subcommittee’s reports in Scottish Birds. Since 2014 these records have appear on the SOC’s website, a significant advantage being that the entire list of all records for such species and subspecies can be viewed together (Forrester 2014) and updated annually. The current update includes records from the British Ornithologists’ Union Records Committee’s 49th Report published in 2018, the British Birds Rarities Committee’s Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 2017 (Holt 2018) and SBRC’s Report on rare birds in Scotland, 2017 (McGowan & McInerny 2019).

  • Some Place-Names from the Old Scatness Project, Shetland Doreen
    Some Place-Names from the Old Scatness Project, Shetland Doreen Waugh University of Glasgow Old Scatness (identified on the map as Scatness (fig. 1)), the focus of a heritage initiative managed by the Shetland Amenity Trust, is described by the archaeologists from the University of Bradford who have been excavating the site each summer for the past seven years as ‘a multi-period settlement mound situated adjacent to Sumburgh Airport, South Mainland, Shetland’.1 The Trust commissioned a variety of people to contribute to the multi-disciplinary research programme, including myself on place-names. At the core of the project is the archaeological excavation2 and, in a sense, on the periphery are those who are examining other available evidence from the surrounding landscape to build up as full a picture as possible of the locality and its history, but the ultimate aim is to integrate the various studies and to arrive at an understanding of the relationship over centuries of time between humans and their environment. The archaeological evidence from the Old Scatness site consists of broch, wheelhouses and Pictish, Norse and post-medieval settlement. Unfortunately, place-names cannot match the stones in terms of survival throughout the centuries since the broch period and, in particular, one is still left wondering about the Pictish to Norse transition, and why there are no surviving Pictish place- 1S.
