As an open community organisation representing the residents of Glendale, the Glendale Trust has been mandated by its members to determine whether the community of Glendale wish to acquire and manage these buildings to sustainably support the community and area of Glendale

There is a public meeting in the Glendale Hall – Wednesday the 5^th of June at 7:30pm in order to determine the following.

1)    Should the community of Glendale work to acquire these assets for the benefit of the wider community Y/N?

2)    Determine the possible uses for each building.

Based on the community needs survey carried out in 2011 the Glendale Trust has identified various potential uses for the buildings. These will be presented at the meeting on June the 5^th along with the process that is required to be followed in order to acquire and develop the buildings.

If you have any ideas for the sustainable development of the buildings or would like to be involved please come along to the please post them in the box provided in the post office (Glendale) or email them to myself or Richard Powell (cc’d) and they will also be presented at the meeting.

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,
