This year the red envelope will drop through your door during the week of 13th to 19th May – thanks to an army of 60 volunteer collectors. Started nearly 70 years ago as a response by Christian churches in the UK to the desperate needs of refugees in Europe after the Second World War, Christian Aid now operates in nearly 40 countries promoting sustainable development, striving for social justice and pursuing a vision of a world without poverty. Founded on and guided by the teachings of Christ, Christian Aid is committed to supporting poor and marginalised people, whatever their beliefs, sexuality, gender and ethnicity. Please make a special effort to support Christian Aid Week again this year. The recent negative publicity concerning serious Oxfam failings was used by some sections of the media to cast a shadow on all overseas aid. But the poor, the marginalised and the displaced people of the world need our help more than ever. If you are a tax payer, don’t forget to fill out the gift aid form – which allows Christian Aid to receive an extra 25p for every £1 donated. Perhaps not much for one envelope, but multiplied across the whole village it could mean up to £1,000 extra for Christian Aid! If you are out when the collector calls back later in the week to pick up the envelope, feel free to drop it into either St Machar’s Ranfurly church or Freeland church.

The Local Development Plan is the document which sets out the Council’s strategy and policies for the use of land and buildings in Inverclyde, and is the basis for determining planning applications. For example, it is the Local Development Plan that identifies the green belt, housing development opportunities and regeneration priorities, amongst other things. The current stage in preparing the new Local Development Plan is a document called the Proposed Plan, which represents the settled view of the Council as to what the final adopted content of the Plan should be. The Proposed Plan was approved for publication and consultation by the Inverclyde Council’s Environment and Regeneration Committee on 28th March and published in April with the consultation period running through to June 2018. A representative of the Planning Policy team will attend the 29th May meeting of the Kilmacolm Community Council to explain the Local Development Plan process and provide an overview of the Proposed Plan policies and proposals. Kilmacolm and Quarriers Village residents are encouraged to attend this meeting to learn about aspects which could affect them and village life. Advertisement Feature Changes At Three Sisters Bake We recently asked for feedback on changes our customers would like to see at Three Sisters Bake. Here is what you told us…Seats are uncomfy – our vintage church pews may be beautiful but they hurt to sit on! Thanks to the lovely people at Thistle Upholstery in Paisley we now have custom fitted cushion pads for many of our pews! More sandwiches…lots of you asked for more sandwiches so we have introduced a range of new ones as well as bringing back some old favourites. Take a look at our menu at www.threesistersbake.co.uk to see the new line up of sandwiches and other new menu items, including our expanded range of topped mac n cheese! Scones – “don’t ever change!” Many of you were kind enough to comment on how delicious our scones are. To celebrate their popularity we have included a voucher for a free scone below! Afternoon Tea – this has always been our most popular item for a special occasion but we had lots of feedback that you’d like to see a simpler version that didn’t call for a “special occasion” to enjoy. We’ve now introduced a “classic” afternoon tea which will run alongside our existing “luxury” version. With our voucher offering 2 for £15, its also a very affordable mid week treat! We’re excited about the changes and as a thank-you to our local customers for your continued support and loyalty, we have included some vouchers below to allow you to see for yourself. We look forward to welcoming lots of new and familiar faces over the coming weeks! Gillian, Nichola & Linsey xxx kilmacolm & quarriers kilmacolm & quarriers Kilmacolm RBS Mobile Bank Service Set for Cuts Renfrewshire North & West MSP Derek Mackay is disappointed to learn that RBS plan to cut access to mobile banking services in Kilmacolm from the end of May. The mobile bank service has been used to fill the gap left by the closure of the branch in 2015 – giving customers the chance to maintain some level of face-to-face banking in the village. At present the mobile banking is in the village on Monday’s, Tuesday’s and Friday’s for 1 hour. From May 29th, this will be cut to just Monday’s and Thursday’s. kilmacolm & quarriers Coffee Morning Saturday 9th June 2018 in the new Community Centre Kilmacolm, 2nd Floor from 10am to 12pm. Tickets £3. Mr Mackay said: “This is disappointing news from RBS, not only have they reduced the service to customers across the area even further – they’ve done so by quietly changing the timetable as opposed to being straight with people. This kind of behaviour erodes trust in the bank even further after their shameful rounds of closures over the last few years.” @GryffeAds www.advertizer.co.uk
