This group has been formed by local residents to start a campaign to lobby politicians, statutory agencies and stakeholders to develop and implement a 10 to 20 year village wide strategic flood management plan. It is run by volunteers to try to save the village from further flood damage and coastal erosion which is threatening to decimate both the local area, national infrastructure, and severely impact all those living & working to the north of Golspie.
The membership has representatives from those living nearest to the shore, farms whose land is subject to flooding, the golf club, the kart track and Go Golspie Development Trust as well as other interested parties. The group is a subgroup of the community council, and is open to anyone affected by flooding, or interested in helping with this critical work to protect & future proof our community. H&I Climate Hub has been incredibly supportive of our work over the past couple of years. Membership will hopefully give us the opportunity to connect with other climate activities & activists across the highlands, learn from and perhaps also offer support to other groups & people. Networking is hugely powerful.
