An evening with Sir John Lister-Kaye - feedback
|
|
Many thanks to all of you who supported our evening with Sir John Lister-Kaye on 5th October. The audience of over 70 was treated to a fascinating presentation, illustrated by beautiful images which reminded us how lucky we are to live in the Highlands. We heard how Sir John’s interest in restoration ecology had developed, and of his work at Aigas Field Centre with local schoolchildren This was followed by a lively debate, with Sir John answering a number of wide-ranging questions from the audience. We were also delighted that Lucy Lister-Kaye was able to join us. Aigas is open under the National Gardens Scheme twice a year and is well worth a visit.

Community Consultation Drop-in at Findon Hall, November 21st 3.30pm – 8pm
Some big changes are coming to the village with the development of the Glascairn Site and a funding award to CCT to design an active travel route through the village.
CCT has organised a drop-in consultation from 3.30 – 8pm on Thursday 21st November at Findon Hall to give everyone in the village a chance to meet our three design consultants, examine the proposals and have their say. We will be consulting on:
- Provisional designs for the new Culbokie village green
- Designs for the new Community Hub buildings
- Proposals for a new Active Travel route through the village and out to the A9
Consultants represented at the meeting will be: Katherine Woolf of Horner and MacLennan who are working on the landscape design; Alex Pearson of LDN Architecture who are working on the building design; and Scott McGarva of Pell Frischmann who, with funding from Sustrans, are working on the active travel route.
We plan to leaflet all homes in the village before the event to encourage a high level of participation. We hope you will come along and let us have your views.
