Closing statements from the Coul Links Hearing went in yesterday, so now it's over to this lot to make the decision. SNP says, "we believe the best people to decide the future of our communities are those that live in them". WE AGREE! Comm Ballot: 69% Yes H Council: Yes SO...?

Wild that natural capital investments are moving in and going “yeh sorry you’re out a job but you can stay in your tied house until you find a new one, want to volunteer at the rewilding centre?” and the golf and aquaculture sectors are going “here’s your new house and croft”.

In the time taken to proposing to building these hubs, Caithness is forecasted to lose 8% of its population. More than half of school leavers in the area don’t want to stay, citing good access to healthcare as being needed to stay. That drives depopulation forecast to 18% by 2040

Looks like local people don't like the Central Belt telling them what they should want... #localdemocracy #communitymatters
Another one bites the dust. Wester Ross and Lochalsh now join Ben Wyvis and Glen Affric on pulling out of bidding for national park status. Similar issue across both. “There is not sufficient evidence to demonstrate that communities find value in pursuing national park status”.
