Please share...../Nature Reserve Sell-Off Confirmed - Following a recent meeting it seems Scottish National Heritage ‘overlooked’ government legislation by not officially informing the community it was selling off Glencripesdale Nature Reserve. Reps from Sunart and Morvern Community Councils intervened and we have now received official notification of the land sale.
It appears RSPB Scotland are the front runners to acquire this land which we have no material objections to, HOWEVER if anyone thinks there the COMMUNITY should express interest in an acquisition or has suggestions for community involvement please get in touch before our November meeting. Thanks.
( Notification of this meeting was posted two months ago and we received one comment)
Looking forward to getting out on the water. Sunart moorings are open!
Do you have any idea when the campsite & ariundle cafe will be open please ?
Hi everyone,
I hope it is ok for me to post this in this group.
I am from Lochaline but I am currently up in Orkney trying to do my dissertation to finish my Masters Degree in Renewable Energy Development. I am investigating whether a low carbon ferry (either fully electric or hydrogen-fuelled) could be a viable option for the Corran Ferry. I will compare this to a replacement that is the same as the current model or a fixed-link option. I am really keen that part of this project documents the opinions of the communities that this ferry serves. As you can imagine, this has all been slightly turned on its head with lockdown making coming home for interviews impossible. As a compromise, I’ve decided to resort to an online survey.
If you consider this to be your permanent residence, then it would be a huge help if you could you please spare a little time to fill it in. There are 17 questions all of equal length and all tick boxes, then a section at the end for any comments you may have.
Thank you for your help.
