PUBLIC TOILETS

As most of you probably know South Lanarkshire Council have closed all of the public toilets in the county which means that for some time now there have been no public facilities in the village.
The Leadhills Community Company would like to put in a ‘Right to Buy’ interest in the toilet facilities located in the parking area next to the school. To enable this we need to prove we have the support of a good percentage of the village. To this end, we have placed forms in both the hotel bar and in the shop. If you would like to show your support for this endeavour please sign either of these forms.
The forms will be collected at the end of November so that we can submit the registration in December.
Many thanks to those that have already shown their support.

Our Land, Building a Future – Highlands and Islands Enterprise

Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) is an ambitious organisation with a unique remit that integrates economic and community development. We work in a diverse region which extends from Shetland to Argyll, and from the Outer Hebrides to Moray, covering more than half of Scotland’s land mass.

Trip to Mull

Two members of our board went on a fact-finding trip to Mull along with members of the Wanlockhead Community Trust.

We met with representatives of the Mull and Iona Community Trust (MICT) and the Northwest Mull Community Woodland Company and information was gathered which will help with future smaller Community projects.

Update to the Scottish Land Fund

We had an excellent meeting with Ailsa Dalgetty from The Scottish Land Fund. The meeting was held at the Hopetoun Arms and we discussed the current status of the Stage one Funding application, which has now been delayed until the end of August. Also discussed were the pre and post acquisition funding opportunities.
