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.

A busy week ahead in Struan

Shopping Trip – Craft Night – Coffee morning – Xmas Lights Switch-on

Struan Xmas Shopping Trip to Inverness – Are you interested?

Fancy a day out? Join us for a day trip to Inverness, leaving Struan Green at 0800 hrs, arriving back at 2000-2100 hrs.

All are welcome, travel is free for all members of the Struan community. Friends of community members are welcome to come, for a small charge, if numbers allow for this.

The bus has space for 33 people, with storage for shopping underneath. We would need at least 20 people signed-up to make the transport viable. Otherwise, we will use the North West Skye minibus, which can carry up to 8 people and their shopping bags, in which case we would need a volunteer driver with D1 on their licence?

Deadline for response – 1st December 2024 please also advise whether you have a D1 license and are willing to drive.
