Kinlochbervie Community Company
The Kinlochbervie Community Company is a charitable company founded in 2008. Our aim is to initiate and develop community improvement projects. Current projects include Loch Clash Pier, the Manse Road houses and Community Broadband.
The last day to submit your completed survey about the proposed future development of Loch Clash is Wednesday 15 February 2017.
The survey may be completed on-line at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PWXN5CW
It may also be completed with pen and paper with the completed survey dropped off at the garage or at the public meeting.
If you didn’t receive a survey in the post, you may download it from the following links:
In addition to the public meeting (see below), we are also carrying out a community survey seeking views on the future development of Loch Clash Pier. What uses should be in the new development?
The survey may be filled in online:
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PWXN5CW
It may also be completed in the traditional manner (pen and paper) and either dropped off at the garage or posted to Graham Wild, Kinlochbervie Community Company, The Uphouse, Portlovorchie, Rhiconich, Lairg IV27 4RB.
We are sending out the surveys by post this week. They may also be downloaded by clicking on the following links.
There will be a public meeting in Kinlochbervie Village Hall on Tuesday 31 January 2017 to share ideas about the next phase of the development of Loch Clash Pier. Two times are offered to suit different schedules: 3:00 pm and 7:30 pm. The meeting is actually what is called a “design charrette” – an “intense event” where people are invited to share their ideas with designers and planners. The outcome will be actual concept designs for the pier that will be presented to the community in a few weeks.

Recent visitors to the Loch Clash Stopover, Vanessa and Nick Warwick, were so impressed with our project that they made a video about us. Thank you so much Vanessa and Nick.
Please note that the price per night mentioned in the video will rise to £15 per night on 1 March 2017.

Kinlochbervie Broadband Update Dec 2016
The village was busy with construction in December. The fibre cabinet was installed in Dog Street and work was underway building trenches to carry the fibre optic cable. You can’t order superfast broadband yet but it shouldn’t be too much longer. Scourie has already been activated and customers who have signed up have been given a start date in February.
