Community Action Plan launch – Thanks for coming!

Thanks to everyone who came along last Thursday to talk about beginning to develop a community action plan for the area! We had some copies of other groups’ action plans on hand to look at, but if you would like to read them in full we have the Links to them here:

Struan Community Action Plan Summary

Raasay Climate Action Plan

There were 37 people in attendance on Thursday and there were constructive concerns raised – how do we make sure the resulting plan is put to good use and drives genuine change- and it is our collective responsibility to make sure it does. Also comments about what improvements to the area folk would like to see, urgent areas like paths which need attention before they deteriorate , and how we can harness the momentum of positive developments in Dunvegan like the new school and the park to develop new projects. A few folk put their names down to join a CAP working group to talk about next steps and develop a survey. If you are keen to get involved, or discuss any aspect of the process please email dunvegancommunitytrust@gmail.com. Suggested topics to cover in the plan were:  Local Amenities, Biodiversity and Invasives, Deer, Public Transport, Population retention, health and fitness facilities – all ages indoor/outdoor, community pub, access to the sea, help the ages, improved pathways, land, housing for young people, community seating area, adapting to climate change, sports clubs, wraparound childcare, foreshore, nature walks/ paths/cycleways for all, village appearance and tidiness, social spaces, adapting to an aging population. SO many topics can be covered, let’s thrash them all out!
