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.

R100 Broadband Evaluation

For those that do not know, R100 is the Scottish Government programme for rolling out superfast (or better) broadband to 100% of the Scottish population. “Superfast” is 30Mb/s download and 15Mb/s upload (something many of us can only dream of). Struan is certainly a candidate for the programme but has yet to be scheduled into it, and there does not seem to be much prospect of it in the near future. We would encourage you to follow the link in the poster below and complete the survey.

Dunvegan Community Action Plan

Dunvegan Community Trust are are currently working on a Community Action plan for the Dunvegan CC area, and would like to give neighbouring CC areas the opportunity to respond too, especially since the Dunevgan School catchment area includes Struan, and we might be able to coordinate some form of community transport in the future. The survey can be found here.

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,
