  • BCS Paper 2017/74 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Draft
    Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2017/74 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Draft Revised Proposals for Argyll and Bute, Highland and Moray council areas Action required 1. The Commission is invited to consider responses to the initial and secondary consultation on its Initial Proposals and whether it wishes to make changes to its proposals for Argyll and Bute, Highland and Moray council areas. Background 2. These constituency designs are based on a UK electoral quota of 74,769.2 electors and parliamentary electorate figures from the December 2015 Electoral Register. The electorate of constituencies has to be within 5% of the electoral quota, namely no fewer than 71,031 and no more than 78,507, unless the area of a constituency exceeds 12,000 square kilometres. No constituency may exceed 13,000 square kilometres. 3. The total electorate in the 3 council areas is 307,418, giving a theoretical entitlement to 4.11 constituencies. It is possible, therefore, to design 4 constituencies, exactly covering the combined council areas, the electorates of which are within the limits set by the legislation. 4. The Commission's Initial Proposals for this area comprise 4 constituencies which exactly cover the combined extent of these 3 council areas. A map of the constituencies is at Appendix A.

  • Glen Loy Land Management Plan Summary
    Glen Loy Land Management Plan Summary Glen Loy lies on the West side of the Great Glen between Loch Lochy and Loch Linnhe, approx. 7km North of Fort William. The Glen lies in a NW-SE direction and is dissected by the River Loy into Northern and Southern sections. The Loy is a salmon river which is important in the local fisheries area. The forest area has quite steep slopes becoming relatively flat in the floodplain of the River Loy. This topography creates a relatively sheltered environment in the locality. It is a relatively uninhibited location with most homes situated on the Eastern edge close to the pubic road and Caledonian Canal. The geology is quite mixed – Quartz dominated metamorphic rocks, with granite outcrops and volcanic intrusions. This combined with the mild wet windy climate forms a variety of soils from upland brown earths, ironpans, peaty gleys and shallow bogs which influences species type and growth rates of the woodland habitats. Glen Loy LMP was approved on 03/03/2008, and runs for 10 years. The long term aims of the forest are: Timber production The regeneration, consolidation and expansion of the Ancient Semi- Natural Woodlands (ASNW) Enhancement of the landscape. The primary objectives for the plan area are: To produce timber with felling to be aimed at improving the age- structure of the forest To future proof timber production by establishing felled areas with Sitka spruce with secondary species providing diversity and landscape enhancement where site conditions suit. To provide expansion areas for ASNW and accept regeneration of native species into non-restocked area secured through enhanced monitoring To review and improve access to, and interpretation of these ASNW areas.

  • Kilmallie Hall
    BUSINESS CASE FOR THE TRANSFER OF TITLE OF THE CAR PARK NEXT TO KILMALLIE COMMUNITY CENTRE FROM THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL TO KILMALLIE COMMUNITY CENTRE Introduction to the Project Whilst investigating the ownership of the land that the Kilmallie Community Centre is built on we found out that the car park area is owned by the Highland Council. It is in quite a dilapidated state of repair with a number of bad pot holes in it and a very uneven surface. We have received a number of complaints from users of the car park over the past couple of years and are very concerned that it is a serious Health and Safety risk. The disabled parking area is very rough and the surface markings cannot be seen. We wish to ensure that all the facilities that the Kilmallie Community Centre users have access to are brought up to the same standard as the rest of the Centre. We understand that due to financial restraints the Highland Council are unable to invest in getting the car park up to an acceptable standard. In order for us to ensure that this does happen we request that the car park is transferred into the name of Kilmallie Community Centre and therefore under our ownership we will be able to raise funds to repair the car park. Impacts & benefits The impacts and benefits of transferring the car park from The Highland Council to Kilmallie Community Centre are as follows: • The Highland Council (and therefore the public purse) will no longer be responsible for the ongoing upkeep and maintenance of the car park • It will be an integral part of the Kilmallie Community
