This information has been gathered from national and local statistical data, from local research and consultations, and from the views of community members expressed in a range of settings. Effective planning for the future depends largely on a good understanding of what already exists. This profile aims to provide a baseline of information about the Westside of Shetland from which service providers, agencies, voluntary and community organisations in the area can develop a shared understanding of the needs and issues within the area. It is intended as a working document through which to stimulate debate, discussion and through which to support and inform action and developments, which seek to improve the local planning and delivery of services. The profile will be updated as necessary via the Local Service Delivery Group (LSDG) for the area, and will be used to encourage LSDG members and others to work more closely together to deliver locally appropriate solutions to identified needs. The profile will assist in the measuring of strategic outcomes at a local level, and contribute to the Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) reporting framework. In 2004 the Community Planning Board agreed on 7 localities for Shetland “to provide the basis for service planning at a local community level and specifically to support the future planning of health and social care services within the Community Health Partnership”. These are North Isles, Whalsay and Skerries, North Mainland, West Mainland, Central, Lerwick and Bressay, and South.The West Mainland therefore represent one of the 7 localities.

Shetland Islands Council electoral arrangements Page 5 of 39 Shetland Islands Council Community Profile West Mainland The West Mainland of Shetland The West Mainland is a unique area of Shetland rich in heritage & culture, strong in identity and diverse in habitat. The West Mainland supports a large number of communities from Nesbister in the East through to Foula in the far West. A strong tradition of crofting and traditional land management methods compliment the need for progress and developing new and sometimes high tech businesses, providing employment and income generation. Some of the most dramatic coastal scenery can be found in the West Mainland which supports large numbers of breeding birds and other wildlife. Freshwater Lochs and burns also contribute to the rich biodiversity of the West Mainland. A vast number of archaeological sites enhance the West Mainland as does the complex and unique geology, making this area a high priority for visitors and tourists. A high standard of infrastructure supports the large number of communities throughout the West Mainland of Shetland which include; an excellent network of high quality roads; six primary schools and one Junior High school; two swimming pools; a leisure centre; two retained fire stations; three formal marinas; four country shops; two health centres; an innovative community energy scheme; eight community halls; three boating clubs; two ferries and two airstrips; a large number of kirks; six community gardens/community woodlands; three camping böds; a lifeboat station; a coastguard response team; three petrol stations; a 12 bed care centre along with a day care centre; and two community cooperatives. A wide variety of employers base themselves throughout the West Mainland contributing to the social sustainability of the area. The range of employment found in this area includes; a bakery; a knitwear factory; aquaculture facilities; a cheese maker; vehicle repairs; community shops and cooperatives; leisure facilities; schools and lifelong learning providers; jewellery makers; health care providers; transport operators; retained fire fighters; builders, plumbers and electricians; a veterinary practice; three mail sorting and delivery offices; and ferry staff. In addition to this a large number of self employed or lone private business exist. Employment in the West Mainland is diverse with a large number of people undertaking a number employment opportunities concurrently. The importance of sustainable communities and active citizenship cannot be underestimated throughout the West Mainland. The collective communities of the West make a major contribution to quality of life through active participation in a wide range of community facilities, clubs and social enterprises. Page 6 of 39 Shetland Islands Council Community Profile West Mainland Population Outlining trends in our population throughout the West Mainland Population retention remains a key priority for Shetland Islands Council in partnership with other agencies and organisations. Since 2001, the population of the West Mainland has risen by 6.9% standing at 2,098 in 20081. The areas of Skeld, Clousta, Gruting and Twatt recorded the largest percentage increase during this period of 14.4%. This was followed by Aith, Bixter, Tresta and East Burrafirth with a 5.0% increase and lastly by Walls, Sandness, West Burrafirth and Papa Stour with a 2.3% increase on 2001 figures2. In 2008, statistics gave reason to believe that the split between males and females within the West Mainland was fairly even. There were 1,040 males and 1,058 females3. The age group of 40-49 year olds was most predominant in the West Mainland followed by (in descending order) 10-19 year olds, 50-59 year olds, 60-69 year olds, 0-9 year olds, 30-39 year olds, 20-29 year olds, 70-79 year olds, 80-89 year olds and 90 years and over4 2,150 2,100 2,050 2,000 1,950 Total Population 1,900 1,850 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Shetland West 1,963 1,983 1,985 2,059 2,101 2,070 2,099 2,098 Year Figure 2.

This was most dramatic during the 1970s & 1980s as a direct result of oil exploitation. Since the recent high point recorded in the 1981 Census of 22,768, Shetland’s population in the 2001 Census stood at 21,988 which represents a change (comparing with 1991 Census) of – 0.1%.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

  • Annual Shetland Pony Sale – Lerwick 2011
    ANNUAL SHETLAND PONY SALE – LERWICK 2011 Shetland’s annual show and sale of Shetland Ponies was held on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th October 2011 at the Shetland Rural Centre, Lerwick. Entries for the sale were down on previous years with 133 ponies entered in this year’s catalogue. In particular there were fewer colt foals and fillies entered than usual meaning that the majority of ponies offered for sale were filly foals. Top price at the sale went to Mrs L J Burgess for her standard piebald filly foal, Robin’s Brae Pippa by HRE Fetlar, which realised 600 gns to A A Robertson, Walls, Shetland. HRE Fetlar achieved a gold award in the Pony Breeders of Shetland Association Shetland Pony Evaluation Scheme. The champion filly foal from the previous day’s show, Mrs M Inkster’s standard black filly, Laurenlea Louise by Birchwood Pippin, sold at 475 gns to Miss P J J Gear, Foula. Champion colt foal Niko of Kirkatown by Loanin Cleon, from Mr D A Laurenson, Haroldswick sold for 10 gns to Claire Smith, Punds, Sandwick. Regrettably, demand and prices in general were poor and some ponies passed through the ring unsold. Local sales accounted for a good proportion of trade as did the support of the regular buyers that make the annual trip from mainland UK to attend the sale each year. The show of foals on Thursday evening was judged by Mr Holder Firth, Eastaben, Orkney and his prizewinners and the prices that they realised, if sold, were as follows: Standard Black Filly Foals Gns 1st Laurenlea Louise Mrs M Inkster, Haroldswick, Unst 475 2nd Robin’s
