We are assured that building work should be starting before too long. Together with Wester Loch Ewe Community Council we are in the process of developing a housing strategy for the Wester Loch Ewe area in order to address the problems of limited affordable accommodation to rent and to buy. The deer stalking holidays were a great success with those who secured them in the auction. The guests reported having a wonderful time. Since October Janet Miles has been settling into her job as the new local development worker.
Some new projects are now in the pipeline while some of the older projects are progressing well.
We are delighted to report that work has now begun on the construction of the slipway and hope to see it in use this year. If you plan to visit the area make sure you take your boat and try out this long awaited slipway. Or if you don't have your own boat, Loch Ewe Boating are running seal-spotting trips and sailing lessons from the slipway. Inverasdale Albyn Housing Planning permission has been granted for four houses at Firemore and building work should have started by September. We believe these affordable houses are important to the survival of our community, as they will help retain local families in the area and help keep Inverasdale school, shop and post office viable.
