Correspondence

1. A letter was received from the Scottish National Heritage detailing plans to make the majority of the upland area around Kyleakin and Kylerhea an area of Special Scientific Interest.
2. A letter was received from the Highland Council concerning the renewal of bus service contracts for the period 01/01/02 until 31/12/05. It is proposed that during Co-op opening hours all buses will divert to the Kyle Co-op and we were asked our opinion whether it would be useful for the bus to do a circuit round Kyle village. We would write back advising the Council that both these ideas met with our approval.
3. We have received copies of correspondence between the Bright Water Visitor Centre and the North West Partnership with regard to the positioning of a traffic sign on the roundabout at the end of the Skye Bridge indicating the direction to the Centre. We were disappointed that the request for the sign had been rejected and would be writing to the North West Partnership pointing out the economic value of the Visitor Centre to the village.
4. We have received a copy ofa letter from Kyleakin Football Club to Mr J. MacDonald concerning the relocation of the football pitch at Kyleakin.
