Dear Trust Members,

As previously mentioned attached is the initial draft of the Glendale Community Growth plan which has been undertaken by the Local Development Officer as part of Highlands and Islands, Community Account Management program. This program is significantly oversubscribed throughout the highlands and Glendale has been fortunate to benefit through the provision of funding and support.

The plan gives an overview of area based on surveys and suggest current and potential projects with Glendale. An open day is scheduled for the community to come and discuss the plan and its contents on Sat 8th of December at the Glendale Hall where more detail of the projects can be obtained and the community can take ownership of the plan.

The open day will be from 9am until 5pm teas and coffee have been kindly supplied by the Glendale Post office and I am sure there will also be some chocolate biscuits!

Comments and feedback would be very much appreciated I hope you will come along.

Hard copies will also be available in the Glendale Post Office as well as the Hall but these will be limited due to the cost of print.

Kindest Regards,

Elgar Finlay
