Waternish Community Survey - October 2026 - Action Required
Waternish Community Survey - October 2026We need your input again!Earlier this year we asked you to complete a survey about a potential new hall for Waternish. Before we can progress that project, it has been recommended to us that we conduct a broader community engagement survey about different aspects of life in Waternish and to record what you as residents feel are the priorities for the community.We are delighted that the Skye and Lochalsh Council for Voluntary Organisations (SLCVO) has kindly offered to partner with us in this research. Similar activities are going on across Skye and Lochalsh and the survey is themed around the Skye & Raasay Future Plan. You can see the plan at this link www.slcvo.org.uk/sarfThe survey is designed for residents living within the Waternish Community Council area. We would like to hear from everyone and ask that every member of your household completes the survey. Individual responses really do matter.The online survey is open now until 5pm on Friday 25th October at this link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LYP9VCVResponses will be collated by SLCVO who will compile an interim report that summarises the keyfindings. We will share those findings online and via events in late November, and in 2027, Waternish Hall committee members will work with Waternish Community Council on responses to the key findings, with support from SLCVO.The results from this survey will give the Waternish Community the evidence required to highlight community priorities, advocate for local resources, secure funding, and to lobby for critical improvements, so please ensure you have your full say.Although the survey is online, we are here to help those who would prefer not to use a device, and paper copies are available. Also, members of the Hall Committee and others will be available at hall events to assist you, or even help you at home if requested.If you have any questions or would like to request a paper copy - please contact either David Porter email: davidportermcfc@gmail.com, mobile: 07495 756193, or Jill Lopez email: jill16lopez16@gmail.com, mobile: 07596 546094
