A RAFT of fresh ideas and suggestions which could improve the Staffin community over the next 10 years were made by local residents at the Taobh Sear 2034 event.

A six-hour drop-in public exhibition and consultation event at Staffin Hall attracted 30 people through the doors on Friday, November 17.

Among the attendees were Skye Highland councillors Calum Munro and John Finlayson with apologies from Drew Millar, and Phil McCaherty, Highlands and Islands Enterprise's Portree-based development manager.

And there is still time for Staffin residents and businesses to make their views heard.

Staffin Community Trust is encouraging people to spend a short time completing the online survey, which can also be made available in hardcopy form: https://docs.google.com/forms/...

SCT intends to have the Staffin 2034 exhibition on display at the Church of Scotland for at least a week in December if anybody was unable to make it on November 17. The survey would close after that.

The exhibition looks at the origins of why Staffin set up what is understood to be the very first community trust in Skye way back in 1994, the work achieved by the volunteer-led organisation in that time and the last decade, while looking forward to the next 10 years. A large map of Staffin allow people to pinpoint exactly where they think improvements could be made or suggest potential future projects to support the community.

Thanks to Staffin Hall, the Columba 1400 Centre and Hungry Gull for supporting the event.
