Nature Inclusion for Walk and Wheel
2024-09-17 • No comments • • North Coast
Our proposed project will support the more vulnerable people in the community during the winter months, those at risk of increased social isolation, loneliness and depression.
Largs has a higher percentage of elderly and a higher percentage of people less mobile. Giving them that life line in winter to connect with people encourages them out of the house to be part of daily life in the community. The social interaction promotes a sense of belonging and safety for those more vulnerable in the winter months.
This will also showcase local establishments who support poor mobility by easy access, encouraging others to spread the word of local residents involved in community life. We believe that poor mobility should not mean poor involvement.
We propose to meet fortnightly during 6 months of winter. 12 events for an estimated 10 residents at each. £8 towards each lunch is £80 x 12 = £960.

The proposal is for our volunteer groups to join in clearing the overgrown vegetation and to engage a contractor to prepare the existing unusable path and supply and lay an appropriate appropriate amount of Type 1 aggregate which will prevent further degradation of the surface. We have been quoted a cost of £900 for labour and materials for this work.

Purchase of replacement motifs
Project is to purchase 3 motifs to feature in the centre of the village's Main Street. This is where the Yuletide Parade passes through and the public follow to visit other events and traders' premises.
The new motifs will replace old, malfunctioning motifs and will enhance the atmosphere in the village to encourage residents and visitors to mingle together in an enhanced atmosphere.
Blachere Illuminations have quoted £321 each for these motifs, including fitting of wall-mounted brackets to maximise display values, as per attached quote.

Feasibility study to construct an all weather multi use pitch
2024-09-10 • No comments • • North Coast
We require funding to pay the Architect for a feasibility study before embarking down the road of full design and setting up a committee. A local Architect McMillan & Cronin have had previous involvement in the area (ie the tennis court and future grass pitch) and would be will to use the information already gathered to provide this feasibility study. The study would look at Sports Scotland approvals, routes of all existing underground services, available power for lighting, budget costs and statutory requirements. The cost would be a one off fee of £1000 paid on completion of the feasibility report
west Kilbride is the only village in North Ayrshire without an all weather pitch.
