I've spend a good part of the weekend reading, and re-reading, the s75 agreement that is coming in front of the Comhairle on Thursday.
It is as important as the planning application, as it firms up many of the intentions and expectations of the Comhairle and the community, but it also ties toghether with entire process in a legal framework.
Thankfully, the Officers have made it an easy read (!) for the Councillors, but there are still a few points that I am sure we will need clarification on. The important thing is to have all the safeguards in place at the beginning, and worded tightly, so that everyone knows exactly where they stand.
I will be glad to see the Comhairle's involvement in this application being completed so that the Executive can take a decision. However, we are not going to rush this through.

Angus,
On an unrelated issue - the VisitHebrides is closed down AGAIN. Over the last few days, the Berneray question flared again (you know, campervans and all that). Now, VisitHebrides has received an email threatening legal action, so the acting person in charge pulled the plug until next week.
Sorry, but I gave up looking at it as it has been down for so long (or am I blocked from access!!!). I thought I tried last week and it was closed, so why did it re-open, and why are they so sensitive about some posts.
