Funding applications went in this week to assist with the provision of a community minibus and the purchase of e-bikes.  We will update you on further progress on both of these in due course.

14th September 2023

Community transport was highlighted as a priority need through the Community Action Plan, with particular focus on a community minibus for use by community groups, the local school and local residents.  Sharon has identified a fund provided by the Highland Council that can help us push forward on this.  Using information gathered previously, she and Robbie, our CAP Officer, are working on completing the application over the next couple of weeks.

We are also investigating a further fund that may help us purchase e-bikes for use within the community.
