Craignish First Responders

Good news!

The Craignish First Responders are back in operation, and able to provide an almost 24/7 cover (there may be a few small gaps while additional people complete their training).
So in the event of a health emergency: dial 999 and ask for ambulance.
The local First Responder will automatically be called (where this is appropriate to the emergency).

For the few occasions when there is no local First Responder cover, Scottish Ambulance will also use the NHS volunteer responder app, GoodSam (see https://www.goodsamapp.org/NHS for more info). This services uses a phone app to alert any volunteer responder who may be close by. Many of our local people who are trained first responders are signed up to this App.

Craignish Community Council would like to thank everyone in the community who has volunteered, and has been completing the training, in order to get this essential service back up and running.

Harvesting Timber Notice

Craignish Community Council have been informed of upcoming harvesting activities in proximity to Ardfern. The map within the link below shows the area effected.
Contractors hope to keep the impact to the local community to a minimum, With timber haulage routes passing back over the hill, minimising the impact to local drivers. Locals may well hear engine and chainsaw noises across the water though, although it is at a distance.
Felling is expected to be completed by March 2024
