The Group considered an update from South Islay Development. The update provided information around the planned development of Port Ellen Playing Fields; the Sonas Childcare project and ongoing early development of plans for a community day care facility for children under 3; and the distribution of over £50,000 to local groups on Islay and Jura from Covid-19 funding. The update also confirmed that South Islay Development, in partnership with Jura Development Trust and MacTaggart Leisure Centre, had been awarded Community Recovery – Round 2 Funding and had plans to use this for various community benefits including local events and activities for charities and local groups; additional PPE for the re-opening of buildings; and revenue to enable staff recruitment for the new projects.
The Group also considered a local newsletter provided by South Islay Development which outlined information around the new South Islay Development website and included further information relating to the Sonas Childcare and Port Ellen Playing Fields New Pavilion Projects. The newsletter also included information around a planned upgrade to the Filling Station facilities.
