The Planning Meeting announced at last Wednesday's Community Council meeting at which the housing development at Barbreck will be discussed, has been deferred from March 17th to April 21st.

The Community Council is organising an Easter Monday Dance at Dalavich Sports and Social Club. The dance will feature Taynuilt and Kilchrenan's finest - Bluescaster - and all profits will go to Community Council funds. Date 5th April, Time 8.30pm, cost £5. Tickets from David Price 01866 833455.

I have been asked by the Community Council Convener to send out the following message:-

"Please find attached the traffic management plan for the Carraig Gheal windfarm.

This is going to be discussed in detail at our next Community Council meeting in Kilchrenan Village Hall on 3rd March at 7.30 p.m. when Argyll and Bute Council representatives, police and councillors will be available for questions.

As this impacts seriously on the future travelling arrangements, over the minimum of fifteen months, for anyone using this route for work, school, etc., we would strongly advise all affected to attend this meeting. The scale of HGV and other traffic is possibly only now being fully appreciated."

Dear residents of Avich and Kilchrenan,

Through the county wide Community Planning process, there are many ways for communities, community groups and individuals to have their say on important social and service delivery issues.

As part of this, an Argyll and Bute Council led organisation called the Fairer Oban, Lorn and the Isles (FOLI) Steering Group, are offering each Community Council in OLI, £500 to collect information and views on community issues, and prepare a plan of action for the community.
For this to be a success, Avich and Kilchrenan Community Council would like as many individuals and community groups as possible to let us have their input.

To this end, I have transferred the questions from a survey issued by the FOLI Steering Group, into an online survey which you can access by clicking on the link below.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MQNTB7J

The Community Council needs to respond to FOLI by 15th February, so to give us time to collect responses and formulate a plan, can I ask you to complete the survey by 9th February?

You can respond as an individual, or on behalf of a community group.

If you have any questions, or need help with the survey, please dont hesitate to call me on 01866 833455, or email david.struan@btinternet.com.

The survey will only take a few minutes of your time, so do please respond.

With kind regards,
David Price
Secretary Avich and Kilchrenan Community Council

SCOTTISH AMBULANCE SERVICE
FIRST RESPONDER SCHEME

Scotland is a country with large rural areas. The Scottish Ambulance Service performs extremely well in reaching set performance standards to most 999 calls. In your community, where lengthy distances to incidents exist, it is not always possible to achieve arrival within the critical 8-minute period.

This is where a volunteer First Responder can help not only the Scottish Ambulance Service, but directly benefit their own community.

A Community First Responder Scheme is made up from volunteers who live, or work, within a community or village, and have been trained to attend certain emergency 999 calls by the Scottish Ambulance Service, to provide emergency first aid, until an ambulance arrives.

Marilyn Henderson
Secretary.
