  • Corranbuie & Skipness Land Management Plan Summary
    Corranbuie & Skipness Land Management Plan Summary Corranbuie & Skipness LMP was approved on 30-1-12017 and runs for 10 years. Vision Corranbuie and Skipness are two adjoining forests, see map 1 Location, lying immediately to the south of the village of Tarbert on Loch Fyne, linked by open hill land rising to over 350m at the highest point. Loch Fyne forms the majority of the eastern boundary while the western area is adjacent to elevated heath and private forestry plantations. Tarbert and Skipness are the closest settlements and the nearest transport link is the A83T which links Tarbert with Campbeltown. Ferry routes run close by from Tarbert to Portavadie, Claonaig to Arran and Kennacraig to Islay. Tarbert is an important tourist hub, with access provision into the forest from the village. The Kintyre Way runs through the forest. The eastern coastal strip is noted for its designated Atlantic oakwoods. The total combined management area is 2996.8ha. The primary objectives for the plan area are • Economic and sustainable timber production, including windblow clearance. • PAWS restoration. • Development of habitat networks. • Landscape improvement. • Enhancement and protection of Tarbert to Skipness Coast SSSI and Tarbert Woods SAC. • Construction of new forest roads. • Enhancement of the Kintyre Way. • Protection and enhancement water features and water supplies. • Delivery of Deep Peat policy outcomes • Contribution to renewables targets through hydro-scheme construction. • Protection and enhancement of cultural heritage assets. • To

  • Questions Re: Ardrossan Upgrade 1. Why Has There
    Questions re: Ardrossan upgrade 1. Why has there been no community engagement carried out as promised? The work of the steering group undertaken since the public engagement events in October 2018 have focused on the design of the marine works which included technical elements; whereby during this period direct engagement with the Arran community has been undertaken through the Arran Ferry Committee representative. The feedback from the initial public engagement events has informed the progress made to date. Ensuring the views of the community are heard and understood is an important part of the project and there are various stages of the project at which we will engage with the community. The Ardrossan project is currently in the planning and design phase with the Steering Group members developing the marine and landside infrastructure design. Public information events are currently being arranged for January 2020 in Ardrossan and Brodick. These will provide an update on the landside infrastructure planning and design phase. North Ayrshire Council and Peel Ports Group have recently appointed a Lead Consultant Team which includes a Master planner and Architect for the landside design works. More details will follow on specific dates and times of the events. CalMac and Transport Scotland will be meeting with the AFC in the New Year to discuss service continuity and more engagement with the Ardrossan and Brodick communities will follow. 2. How much will this cost and who is paying what? The project at its current stage of development is estimated to cost between £35-£40million. The final cost of the project will not be known until the tender and procurement process has been undertaken and a contractor appointed.

  • PURPOSE of REPORT to Consider the Outcomes of a Study Commissioned Into the Socioeconomic Impact of Capacity Constrained Ferry Services to and from the Outer Hebrides
    TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE 21 FEBRUARY 2018 OUTER HEBRIDES FERRY SERVICES – CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS Joint report by Directors of Technical Services and Development PURPOSE OF REPORT To consider the outcomes of a Study commissioned into the socioeconomic impact of capacity constrained ferry services to and from the Outer Hebrides. COMPETENCE 1.1 There are no legal, financial, equalities or other constraints to the recommendations being implemented. SUMMARY 2.1 The provision of lifeline ferry services to and from the Outer Hebrides is central to the sustainability and well being of island communities. The economic and social potential of the islands can only be fully realised when reliable and sufficient transport links are in place between the islands and the mainland. 2.2 While the Comhairle welcomes the support of the Scottish Government in terms of subsidised ferry services and the sustained availability of Road Equivalent Tariff, there are significant capacity issues during peak periods which are constraining socioeconomic development. These capacity issues have been reported by travellers, the local Tourism sector and hauliers and, while some carrying statistics are available from ferry operator, Caledonian MacBrayne, it has been difficult to prove the actual socioeconomic impact of a constrained ferry service. 2.3 In order to accurately review the current impact of a constrained ferry service and its growing impact going forward, an Economist was commissioned to carry out a study into ferry capacities across the Outer Hebrides. 2.4 The resultant Study indicates that, over the last four years, vehicle carryings have increased by 25% while summer passenger numbers have increased by 21%.
