Update by South Islay Development Trust

The group gave consideration to a presentation from Alyson MacGillivray from South Islay Development Trust outlining the development of the Community Action Plan.  She advised of the need to evaluate the progress of each of the projects highlighted by the community in 2011 and the ways in which the evaluation was carried out.  She spoke of the assistance the Trust received from Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC) in facing the challenges brought about by updating the action plan.  Ms MacGillivray outlined the priorities for South Islay Development Trust and how they engaged with the community to develop these.  She outlined the next steps and advised that the Action Plan is a working document, which is flexible and constantly changing with the needs of the South Islay community.  Discussion was had in relation to the Port Ellen Playing Fields Development with Ms MacGillivray outlining the consultation event hosted by the Trust which took place on Saturday, 27 April 2019 and the steps involved in taking the project forward. 

The Chair thanked Ms MacGillivray for the informative presentation.
