This letter comments in detail on the minutes of the May and June 2023 meetings, published in July.

Dear John Nicholson (Secretary)

Thank you for sending the latest WLECC minutes. I am responding to these by way of an open letter because of your failure to acknowledge or record receipt of previous communications over more than three years. This letter has become far longer than expected, but I have tried to be as concise as possible, and there will inevitably be omissions. No doubt I will fail to express myself very well so if anything is unclear please do ask for clarification.

For brevity I will confine comments here to the specifics of each minute. As you are aware, there is a long and unfortunate history here, which I have rehearsed many times. The previous community council resigned in August 2021, and published minutes from its final AGM that were the subject of complaints by me and others both to WLECC and the Highland Council. Since then, no draft minutes have been made available and WLECC has adopted the policy of approving its minutes before making them public. It means that the minutes I am responding to here are over a month old. There continues to be an almost complete lack of public consultation.

Anyway, to take each item in turn:

Minutes of meeting held on 7th June 2023 in Poolewe Village Hall.

Present: Ross Maclean (Chair), Kenny Mitchell, Willie Scambler, John Nicholson (Secretary), Mairi Mackenzie, Ally Wright (Treasurer), Jim Buchanan, Councillor Chris Birt, HC Access Ranger Fraser Connal, and one member of the public.

1 Apologies for absence: Fred Hughes.

2 Approval of minutes from previous meeting: Proposed by Willie and seconded by Mairi.

Comment: I don’t doubt the Minutes of the meeting held on 3rd May 2023 in Inverasdale School are a correct record, but since the wider community was not made aware of the matters raised or arising until a month later, I will have to do so here. So here are my comments on the May Minutes.

Bridge Cottage Poolewe Achnasheen IV22 2JU

22 July 2023

2. Co-option of replacement council member: The co-option of Jim Buchanan was proposed by Willie, seconded by Fred and unanimously approved. Thanks Jim, we look forward to working with you.

Comment: Good luck and best wishes to Jim, but as the only candidate in the 2021 WLECC election not to have been elected, I must ask why this vacancy was not made the subject of a by-election?

4. Financial Report. Ally reported our finances are as follows:

Main account: £6434.00. (Includes £1623.53 of village improvement funding, and £1835.70 of NRF funding for spraying project.)
Defibrillator account: £170.09.
Car Park Revenue account: £1524.02.

Comment: Please provide full details of the “spraying project” , who authorised it, and where it was carried out. Please explain why there was no consultation with the community before this was done. As you know, I was one of a number of people who complained to you and the Highland Council about the spraying of glyphosate, a known carcinogen banned for use in public spaces in 2019 by the Highland Council itself. Please clarify whether ‘NRF” refers to the National Retail Federation, and explain what its locus is in this. I will take the matter up with them. It is simply unacceptable for WLECC to spray herbicides or pesticides in public places at all, directly damaging public health and the environment.

5. Matters arising from previous meeting.

Comment: these are matters from April. We are now in July.

Willie reported the recent unauthorised removal of the no overnight parking for camper vans and caravans sign at Riverside. We will replace the signage as it is a condition of our agreement with the landowner for our continued use of the car park. The cost to our community funds of new signage has not yet been determined.

Comment: my previous response to you on this was ignored, so I’ll repeat: while I appreciate the Community Council’s work in improving the Riverside Car Park, I question Willie Scambler’s reporting of the ‘unauthorised removal of the no overnight parking signs’. My understanding was that at least one sign was removed by WLECC itself at the request of the Countryside Ranger last year because tourists were using them as a reason to park opposite my and my neighbour’s house instead. I have raised this before with you but as usual my email was ignored. Worse, I understand that Willie Scambler told the landowner there that I had removed them. Now what WLECC does with its car park is not my business, but if overnight parking is not acceptable at Riverside, a secluded, reasonably private spot where overnighters disturb no-one, it most certainly is not acceptable in the centre of the village.

Yet WLECC has made no secret of its determination to force this on residents despite three years of complaints. Perhaps WLECC would like to pay for the sign I have been forced to put on my house to ask people to desist from

destroying the village centre by their antisocial behaviour? Given your expressed hostility to me doing anything to discourage an overnight free-for-all, it seems unlikely, but I might as well ask.

I have repeatedly offered to work with WLECC to provide facilities for campervans, but you are still clearly determined to destroy the centre of our village despite all objections. This increasingly appears to be deliberate provocation, aided and abetted by your friends in the Highland Council’s roads department. It is time for an explanation.

5.2 and 5.3 Shorefield

Comment: Why is there still no comment at all on the need to in provide a safe footpath from Shorefield to the village shop, post office and school? WLECC seems to be intent on removing safe pedestrian access in the middle of the village altogether, regardless of the many efforts over a long period I

have made to raise this issue. In fact there have been instances where parking on the verge seems to have been done deliberately and provocatively.

5.6 GALE’s Shieling community consultation feedback. In the absence of formal minutes from the consultation session on GALE’s plan to buy the Shieling restaurant, we submitted our comments on the consultation and the plan
itself. We have received no acknowledgement or response.

Comment: After my experience of WLECC, the irony of this is not lost on me. Please comment on WLECC’s hostility to GALE’s Planning for Real exercise, which I see has still not produced the expected plan.

6 Roads and related issues

Comment: The roads issues have been the subject of lengthy and apparently fruitless correspondence between us. The potholes are caused by the over-use of our roads by quantities, sizes and types of vehicles they were never built for. Please advise what contribution your friends in the campervan tourism industry make towards the cost of roads maintenance? They wear out our infrastructure, cause congestion, destroy our economy and environment, and make life a misery for local people. Yet you seem very keen to promote their interests at the expense of residents.

Potholes are also made worse by the lack of any proper drainage. WLECC itself has seen the result: every time it rains, a river develops along the parking area opposite my house and floods down onto the village green. Small businesses locally are coerced into paying water charges to private companies for roads drainage, which is not delivered. Some of them have no water or drainage connection at all! This money disappears into private pockets abroad, while Highland Council does nothing to claim the revenue but continues to de-fund us. What is WLECC doing to stand up for us on this? It is an issue I have repeatedly raised with you, Highland Council, Scottish Water, and others but to no effect.

7 Poolewe EV Charger Project: The project is on hold pending the new round of the Coastal Communities Fund opening.

Comment: You are as aware as I am of the sorry history to this; but briefly, the EV charger was (half) installed in this completely unsuitable place, adding completely unnecessarily to the parking issues, and blocking the only safe pedestrian route along the grass verge. All suggestions of alternative locations have been dismissed; the failure to connect a power supply is itself is too long to rehearse here – although I do still need an explanation for the false, malicious gossip spread by WLECC on that subject. Why is the community being actually expected to raise money for EV chargers for tourists at a location none of us – including WLECC at the time – wanted?

This is absolutely the wrong place for long stay parking by visitors, as has been said repeatedly. Provision must be made somewhere else. EV chargers are certainly going to be needed in future, but residents with nowhere else to park need provision now. Why were the residents parking spaces agreed in early 2020 removed and never replaced, despite repeated requests?

9 Ideas for making the Wester Loch Ewe community more attractive for visitors

Comment: The Pictish stone, sadly is now virtually indecipherable owing to erosion since it was uncovered. Perhaps it could be covered with a thick sheet of glass to protect it?

10 WLECC Role in Poolewe Village Green transfer to the community: As we are still waiting for the documentation promised by Galbraith’s, we agreed to write to them explaining that the future of the Poolewe toilets will be in jeopardy if we don’t move ahead with resolving the issue of ownership of the land. Action: Ross to write to Galbraith’s.

Comment: I’ll deal with this below.
11 Gairloch Recycling Centre Opening Hours

Comment: This issue is not confined to the Recycling centre. In every respect, the de-funding of our community and area by the Highland Council needs to stop. As a community we need to see a proper budget for the provision of public toilets, the fixing of roads, and other matters also. What do we pay our Council Tax for?

12 Correspondence

Comment: I see no mention of any correspondence from me. Why is this?

15 Date of next meeting: Our next meeting will be our Annual General Meeting on 07/06/23 in Poolewe Village Hall at 7.30pm. This will be followed by our normal open meeting at 8.00pm.

Comment: I do not see any mention in the June minutes of the AGM. Did it happen? Are there to be no draft minutes from this, or will the community wait a year before seeing what was discussed and what the outcome was? Is this perhaps because of the serious complaints I and others submitted concerning the 2021 AGM minutes, that were never acknowledged, recorded or addressed?

3 (back to June minutes) No comment

4 Matters arising from previous meeting. 4.1 Riverside Car Park

Regarding the replacement of the no overnight parking for camper vans and caravans sign, Fraser offered to send us information on signs elsewhere that

we could use as a basis for Riverside. Ross and Jim will design and order the replacement sign.

Comment: See my earlier comments. Please confirm that similar signs will also be provided for the village centre and that overnighters will not be encouraged or tolerated here. If overnight parking is not acceptable at Riverside, the same applies here. Another location will be needed.

4.4 Burial Ground repairs

Comment: Perhaps some protection could be provided for the Pictish stone which is deteriorating badly? See my comment above.

4.5 Implementation of 20mph speed limits. Chris confirmed that the new speed limits are being implemented by Highland Council on behalf of the Scottish Government.

Comment: I positively welcome the 20mph speed limit in the centre of the village. It is long overdue and I and others have been asking for this for some time. Please explain why WLECC has been so opposed to it.

5 Roads and related issues

Comment: See my comments above. The main concern continues to be the parking and related issues that I have been trying unsuccessfully to raise with both you and the Highland Council for over three years without success.
Please now set up a meeting for residents, Highland Council officers and elected members, and other users of the area to implement arrangements that will work for everyone.

6 Poolewe EV Charger Project: Chris reported that the Coastal Communities Fund has re-opened and he will progress our funding application in conjunction with the HC Area Manager. If the application is successful, the project will be able to be completed.

We were disappointed to learn that our MSP, Maree Todd, had intervened to ask HC to produce cost figures for moving the charger to Poolewe village hall and we agreed to write to the charger team to re-state our previous decision that the unit should remain in the car park and that they should not waste time and resources compiling costs for the other location.

Action: Fred to follow up with the EV Charger Team to ensure they focus on progressing the project in the current location.

Comment: This is a most extraordinary and indeed outrageous minute, which requires a full and detailed explanation. Why is WLECC ‘disappointed’ that Maree Todd has intervened? She did so on my behalf, and for other local people also. Why has WLECC completely ignored the long string of complaints about this from me and others?

Why is WLECC so determined to force the choice of the present unsuitable location, regardless of even the input of our MSP? The EV charger is blocking the pedestrian route, and when finally operational after three years it will cause significant further congestion and other problems. It is a completely unsuitable place for it: I recall that back in 2019 /20 WLECC was itself opposed to this location and even called a public meeting about it. I also recall that when Village Hall chairman I offered to relocate it there, but this too was rejected with no good reason. I also recall the false, malicious rumours blaming my neighbour for the Highland Council’s failure to secure a power supply.

The charger as located there so as to turn the space my pre-existing picnic table area into a parking space. There as no consultation with me about this. Please explain why Willie Scambler came to my door in May 2021 angrily demanding I move the table ‘because he wanted to park there’; and then, after his election to WLECC a few months later, started to demand to see evidence of my having obtained WLECC’s ‘permission’ to put it there? Much more seriously, in the spring of 2023 I was unexpectedly instructed by Mr Scambler’s friends in the Highland Council’s Roads Dept to remove my table on the completely spurious grounds that it was ‘obstructing the highway’. It was an utterly ludicrous claim. When I objected the table was simply removed By Highland Council, with no further explanation, and it seems to be impossible for me to reclaim it by any means whatsoever. The Highland Council claimed that it was removed following an ‘anonymous’ and unspecified complaint.

Since Mr Scambler is the only person (as far as I’m aware) who has ever objected to it – it has otherwise been appreciated by locals and visitors alike since I put it there in 2017 – should I assume that he was the complainant? It is completely unacceptable for public authorities to exceed their powers on behalf of local bullies and against the public interest. It was theft. I will of course continue pursue this in every possible way until my property is returned to me.

Please find another location for the charger. And also, replace the five residents parking spaces removed in 2021, and complete the disabled space, as agreed between residents and the Highland Council in early 2020.

7 Poolewe Public Toilets Renewal: Willie reported all planned work is complete except for painting in the gents side. This will be done later in the year when the tourist season is over. Ally is arranging to get reimbursement of our expenses from GALE.

We agreed to contact Gairloch and Area Development (GAD) to find out about their experience with procuring the new toilets for Gairloch.
Action: Ally to submit list of work done and discuss funding with GALE, and also investigate getting a better donations box. John to contact GAD.

Comment: see my earlier comments above. It is interesting to see the suggestion to contact GAD given the disparaging remarks previously made to me about them and community groups in general by WLECC members. As you know I tried to work with you on this in 2021 and made contact with GALE and also the Kinlochewe group who provide the toilets there. Sadly there is still no suggestion of WLECC actually working together with anyone to create a much needed basic facility to modern standards that will serve local needs before those of campervans.

You will be aware of my petition to the Scottish Government a year ago asking for the provision of public toilets to be made a statutory duty on local authorities, and to fund local authorities to provide them. In the one month it was open for signatures, nearly 1,500 people signed it. The Scottish Government however responds that toilets are merely optional tourist facilities. This is one reason why Highland Council will not fund their upgrading. In fact it has made it clear that it wishes to dispose of them altogether. But we all need toilets, not just visitors. They are basic frontline services. Please go back to Highland Council and remind them of this. They have a moral duty, if not a statutory one, to fund them. And they have our Council Taxes to spend on this instead of pouring our resources into vanity projects in Inverness.

Please also recall that the transfer of the village green and the parking area to the community, which WLECC was supposed to be facilitating, would make a project to update the public toilets and sustain them financially too, perfectly possible.

8 Ideas for making the Wester Loch Ewe community more attractive for visitors: Willie reported that he had been in touch with Andrew Bone of HC and he is happy to assist us in erecting correct official signage in the Poolewe car park explaining the parking regulations.

Comment: What parking regulations? WLECC and its friends in Highland Council, including Andrew Bone, have always insisted that there are none, and declined to discuss the provision of any scheme. The police agree. The scheme agreed between residents and the Highland Council in 2020 was abandoned without explanation, and the residents parking signs were removed. Andrew Bone’s contempt for our area is well expressed in correspondence I have had with him.

Please confirm that no parking regulations will be introduced until residents and users of the area have been consulted fully and a proper scheme agreed by all.

The reason I have had to put a sign on my house – on police advice, incidentally – was because of the persistent efforts by WLECC to force overnight camping on residents and users of the village centre. WLECC has never made any secret of its agenda to force free, unrestricted (including

overnight) parking by motorhomes on us in this most unsuitable of places. Residents here are strongly opposed to any overnight camping here, opposite our houses, which destroys our privacy and human rights, and creates a danger to the public. It is also completely contrary to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

(8 continued)

Ross reported he is applying the Ward 5 Discretionary Fund for funding for the dog poo bag dispenser. He will also add a pole for mounting it and an appropriate sign.

Comment: Please ensure that any dog poo bags are fully biodegradable, and users need to be reminded that must be put in litter bins and not left lying around. I continue to clear up bags left on the path in front of the war memorial, and it’s not pleasant. Incidentally I now see that the Highland Council are seriously proposing that humans bag and bin our waste in a similar manner ! Please confirm there are no plans to dispense any bags for that purpose. The best way to prevent dog fouling in the village green and war memorial area is to maintain the gates and fences and the ‘keep your dog under control’ signs on them. This worked well until the recent removal of part of the gate by the toilets. Please also see my comment below.

We agreed to add a bike rack to our application for funding for the bike repair unit as the rack we got from HC is not suitable for our needs.

Comment: You will remember that following a complaint I received in 2022 that cafe patrons were obstructing the adjoining lane with bikes, I offered to provide a cycle rack at my own expense, at a mutually agreeable location. The offer is still open. WLECC’s only response was to ask me to tell complainants to complain to you instead. Please at least consult residents over the type and location of a cycle rack to make sure it will deal with the above problem and any like it.

We agreed to investigate how we can improve access to the village green for wheelchair users.

Comment: Wheelchair users currently have access to the village green via the gates used by the grasscutting team, although this could be improved. If you wish to provide further access for them, please make sure that gates are self-closing and able to keep safe space for children and dogs that continued until the recent removal of part of the access gate by the toilets.

Please also note my comment above about the parking space for wheelchair users next to the EV charger. After three years this is still not completed or designated.

Willie reported he has completed the PA1 and PA6 Pesticide Spraying courses so we can move ahead with treating invasive species at an appropriate time.

Comment: Please explain this. The community council simply cannot give itself permission to spray herbicides in public places, contrary to the Highland Council’s vote to ban the practice in 2019? See also my comment on the May minutes above. Please do not spray pesticides in public places at all. It destroys public health and the biodiversity on which we all depend. Please also explain why I received no answer at all to my complaint about this previously. As in other cases involving WLECC, the Highland Council too seem curiously silent on this issue.

Action: Willie to action car park signage with HC, Ross to purchase dog poo bag dispenser and bike repair unit/bike rack. Fraser to report back on proposal for improving village green access.

Comment: What car park signage is Willie Scambler to action, and why? See comments above. Perhaps this will be the long-awaited replacement of the residents parking spaces?

9 WLECC Role in Poolewe Village Green transfer to the community: Our latest message to Galbraith’s has not been answered yet. We have highlighted the possibility of losing the Poolewe toilets if we can’t get the issue of land ownership sorted out.

Comment: The ownership of the land is not in question. Nor is the area to be transferred in doubt, nor is the future of the Poolewe Toilets in jeopardy from this. As you know, I personally researched and resolved this issue on WLECC’s behalf in 2020-2021.

All the land, apart from my private septic tank in the village green, is owned by the Macdonald Buchanan estate. The boundary is the front wall of my house. An area including the village green and the parking area was offered by the estate to the Village Hall committee on behalf of the community. The area to be transferred was outlined by me on a plan, shared with WLECC, and agreed with the estate two years ago. This gift was then sabotaged by WLECC, which insisted on making any decision unilaterally and has made no secret of its opposition to community ownership in any form, or of its agenda to force overnight visitor parking on is here in Poolewe Village centre.

The public toilets are leased from the estate by the Highland Council, despite Andrew Bone’s claim not to know this. This is all therefore private land. None of it belongs to the Highland Council, who simply have responsibility as Highway Authority for maintaining the public road across it.

I’ll just mention in passing, that the parking area is not part of the highway but was set out in 1995-7 by agreement between the then community council, the landowner, and Ross and Cromarty District Council. This was part of a general refurbishment of the area at that time to form a ‘Field of Hope’ for the Marie

Curie cancer charity. The sign is still there on the fence. The incoming Highland Council took on the responsibility to maintain the area as part of that project (apart from grass cutting, over more than 30 years, they have actually done very little to fulfil this). They have not adopted the parking area under the Road Traffic Acts, it is not part of the public highway, and the parking spaces have never been designated as such. There was no planning permission (Highland Council claimed they did not need it), nor apparently any discussion with the landowner (Highland Council claimed not to know who the landowner was) regarding the EV charger.

For clarity, I attach WLECC’s statement on the gift to the community, issued in May 2022. There has ben no progress on this since, but there is actually no problem in principle with the estate’s gift to the community, or the inclusion within it of the public toilets. There is no reason why the transfer to the village hall committee, or another community group, could not go ahead. The North Highland Initiative even offered to pay the legal costs. But of course any receiving group needs to represent the community as a whole, including residents and users of the village centre parking. I understand (via a third party, so possibly incorrectly) that the real issue is once again WLECC’s determination to use the area for unrestricted overnight campervan parking rather than community benefit.

The offer was actually made to me, as the then chair of the village hall committee. I had also previously been a (co-opted) member of WLECC, and a director of GALE. My proposal at the time of the gift was that the three organisations might work together, raise funds and redevelop the toilers for the benefit of all. That is still perfectly possible – in theory. But ‘working together’ with others for the greater benefit seems to be beyond your comprehension. You might remember that the village hall committee tried to hold a public consultation on this matter but I and others were subjected to relentless hostility, including a two-hour angry tirade that completely destroyed the consultative meeting and left me personally very shaken.

Please now do as you promised on 8 May 2022, and either agree to the gift to the village hall committee, or if the present committee decline it, set up with proper consultation a community trust to take it on that represents and listens to the community as a whole. We can then perhaps after all work together to create a great future for the toilets and the village centre as a whole.

10 Gairloch Recycling Centre Opening Hours (no comment)

11 Correspondence: We received one message regarding the problem of deer on the crofts in Inverasdale and we have updated the correspondent with what we are planning in regard to deer management.

Comment: once again no mention of any correspondence from me, including the very serious matter of the forced removal of my picnic table. This is a

matter that, the more I look into it, the more serious it becomes. WLECC members seem to have friends in high places, so it seems to me that this has the potential to become a major public scandal.

It is good to see that you will be addressing this issue in August. Deer are a serious problem, not just in Inverasdale but in the middle of the village of Poolewe, including on the village green. Several times, out walking my dog in the late evening I have come across groups of them running down the middle of the A832 through the village. I have also encountered them on the village green stripping trees people have planted in commemoration of loved ones. Many community fruit trees and native trees I have planted over the last few years have been seriously damaged or completely destroyed by deer. The gate and fence below the war memorial giving access to the shore path is badly damaged. The community apple tree trained on the end wall of my cafe is a good example of the effect of deer pressure even on established trees. I and every other gardener in the village have had to put up deer fencing to protect our gardens. The deer are destroying our area and its biodiversity. The problem is of course that the deer are not ‘wild’ but managed herds kept by the shooting estates for profit. The shooting estates must be held liable for the damage they cause. It is reasonable to ask them to fence out croftland and residential areas. Or land needs to be transferred to community ownership to give us the power to manage the deer ourselves. When the village green is finally transferred to the community we will be able to deal with issue.

12 Any other competent business: We asked Chris to find out what the position is regarding planning and other permissions for the proposed car wash facility in Poolewe.

Comment: What on earth is a ‘proposed car wash facility in Poolewe, who is proposing one, and where? This is the first I – and no doubt others – have heard of such an idea. Again, before enquiring into planning permissions, you need to consult local people, properly. And this on minutes from over a month ago.

13 (no comment)

14 Date of next meeting: Next meeting will be on 5th July in Inverasdale School at 7.30pm.

Comment: Since WLECC meetings are always held on Wednesday evenings, when I have a regular, inescapable prior commitment, I am unable to attend them. I only get to see the minutes after the next month’s meeting has been held. So there is no opportunity to comment within a reasonable timescale, and as I mentioned above, correspondence from me is simply not recorded.

So I will have to wait until after the August meeting to find out what you decided in July, and in the case of the supposed AGM (did it happen?), a year (!) to find out what else WLECC have just decided to do that directly affects my home and my quality of life, without telling us. A community council is elected to represent the community, not bully and oppress it.

Finally please can I be perfectly clear that I bear no ill-will towards WLECC or its members; but if I have reasonable cause for complaint, I do need to be heard and responded to. I don’t expect you to agree with me but I do think it reasonable to ask for answers to questions and an indication that you serve the whole community you are elected to serve.

Best wishes

John Wood

Addendum: Poolewe Village Green – A WLECC Update

The following was issued by WLECC in May last year. There appears to have been no serious effort to do anything further about it, but it does clarify ownership.

Poolewe Village Green – A WLECC Update (copy)

Wester Loch Ewe Community Council are facilitating the new ownership arrangements for the Village Green on behalf of the community. Discussions have been held with the current owner’s Factor, CKD Galbraith,

who have confirmed the following to us:

The current owners are disposing of parcels of land within the village and wish the village green to go into community ownership. There is no possibility of leaving things as they are.

The initial offer was made to the Poolewe Village Hall; it has been confirmed by Galbraith’s that the offer was not solely to the Village Hall nor any specific individual – discussions between the Village Hall Committee and the Community Council concluded that the Community Council are in a better place to facilitate the new ownership arrangements.

What does this mean?

WLECC should not, for legal reasons, own any assets and are well placed to represent the views of the wider community in discussions with Galbraiths

about the transfer of ownership. They will ensure that the community is able to make their views known by identifying various options for ownership and putting them to the community for selection. Examples may be: a new or existing charitable trust, the Poolewe Village Hall Committee, or Highland Council.

What happens next?

No timeline for transfer of ownership has been given, this allows us time to fully engage and determine the correct outcome for the community. We are also not yet aware of what legal and other costs might be incurred, but once these are clearer, we will look for funding sources to cover them.

WLECC have requested a full outline of the area to be considered for transfer, this is likely to include the green down to the memorial and the carpark.

WLECC will openly meet and discuss all stages of the ownership transfer with the community.
In the longer term, what will happen to the village green is up to the community and the new trustees of the land

to determine.
