Would whoever put the item below in the Struan Skip please come and collect it from the recycling point and take it away. It is not allowed in the skip and will not be taken away when the skip goes.

Also, please note the skip is already over filled please do not put any more in it!

There will be a skip at the re-cycling point from Friday 22nd February for use by Struan residents. Please do not leave anything outside the skip and do not fill it above the level of the sides as it will not be taken away. Also please note that there are many items that are not allowed in the skip (see note below). If any of these are found in the skip the community will be charged a substantial fee based on the weight of the whole skip. If this happens there will be no further Community Skips (which would be a shame).

Craft Night will be on as usual on Thursday 20th February 2025 from 7 – 9pm, all are welcome.

Coffee in the classroom will be on again this Saturday February 22th from 10:30 – 12:30, your supervisor for this week is David McGough, all are welcome.

The Highland Council are currently conducting a consultation on Visitor Levy (known as “tourist tax”). It is probable that those of you who are involved in providing tourist accommodation will already know about this consultation but you are all urged to complete the consultation irrespective of whether you are involved in hospitality or not.

The Visitor Levy Consultation can be completed through The Highland Council Consultation Portal :

QR Code: The Scottish Government managed to to get the QR code wrong on the R100 poster sent out earlier this week, hopefully the one below now works correctly. Please do fill in the evaluation, it’s an opportunity for you to express your satisfaction or otherwise with the level of Broadband service we receive in Struan.

This note is in relation to the access track maintenance RJ McLeod are currently undertaking at Glen Vic Askill.

We have been informed that RJ McLeod will need to blast some stone on location. This work is planned to go ahead this week, on Wednesday 29 January. There will be two short blasts about 10 minutes apart, at around lunch time (exact timing is weather dependant). All the required safety measures will be put in place and a siren will announce each blast.

Please get in touch with any questions.

Best wishes,

Maren
