3 Introduction North Lewis has been identified as a fragile area through dissemination of its demographics; a long term decline in population, ageing population and a falling birth rate, results in this classification. Highlands and Islands Enterprise in partnership with LEADER funding have supported the introduction of a CAM Local Development Officer for the area of North Lewis, through the Community Account Management Growth at the Edge programme. The geographical area covered by this spans from Barvas Ness, inclusive of the Galson Estate area. The post offers support for community development; encouraging rural regeneration with the aspiration of creating sustainable future. The post also aims to encourage and assist initiatives at ground level to help achieve local developmental aspirations. The North Lewis Community Development Plan is a five year plan based upon the goals set out in the (UOG) Strategic Plan, the UOG Business Plan and a number of different community consultations including a residents survey and a Have your say open day. It is comprised of projects and annual operating objectives compiled by the staff, with support from the Board of UOG, as well as other projects lead by community groups within the area. The Development Plan is a working document and will be continually reviewed on an on-going basis. It will act as a key document to allow UOG to plan activities for the short, medium and long term. The development plan together with the annual operating plan works to ensure key milestones are met and the longer term outcomes of the Strategic Plan are accomplished. 2
