This resilience plan has been drawn up collectively by WACC, the West Ardnamurchan Community Development Company and members of our local community.    Please note that the plan is neither exhaustive nor exclusive, and is not set in stone. It is intended as a ‘living’ document and will be reviewed, updated and adapted/amended as may be required, to meet the ever-developing challenges we’re all facing. We have accumulated a long list of volunteers’ names from within the West Ardnamurchan community, all offering their help in delivering the plan and who can be called upon as required.   If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me or our Chair, Rosie Curtis, and we hope sincerely that you and your families all manage to stay safe and well.   Jim Frame, Secretary, WACC       Coronavirus/ Covid 19 West Ardnamurchan Community Resilience Plan March 2020    During this coronavirus pandemic w...
