A summary of your feedback and thoughts

Hub Engagement Event

Next

Before we begin...

The Steering Group would like to thank all those who gave their time to attend, and hopefully you find the following information interesting and useful.
This is a collection of your thoughts, feedback and ideas that were provided at the Hub Engagement Lunch on 27 January.

So, what did you say?

There is also an intention to trial hot desking within the Phase 4 Development / current Farr Community Hall.

This will increase the capacity of the room and hopefully this bigger space can be used by groups while the hub development is ongoing.

The Steering Group have approved extending out the current meeting room to increase it's size.

What's been done already?

All the potential future developments in the hub sound good

I fully support the concept of a community hub to act as a focus for community activities.

Attendees were very much in favour of developing a community hub in Strathnairn.

In fact, nobody that attended disagreed with developing a hub...

...and there was broad consensus that Farr Community Hall should be the location of the new hub development.

There were four themes which got the most feedback.

is very important to you.

Flexibility

Additional small spaces for older people

Smaller spaces for smaller events

I don’t believe we need another space that is smaller than the main hall. We need to see how the existing spaces and phase 4 will work first.

And a very few who didn't want any small spaces at all

There were those who wanted some smaller spaces...

It is clear that you really value the community cafe, and want a cafe to be a part of the new hub development.

Cafe

More here

Some felt a commercial cafe would be best, whereas others felt strongly it should remain a community cafe. Click the symbols for more information.

Community run

Commercial venture

A Mix?

However, there is not a clear consensus on how the cafe should be run.

Currently, having the café one day a week excludes many people, particularly kids.

I would like a café that provided lunches and that was open more often.

Having the café open on weekends so those that work through the week can attend.

A long term café could be great, with a sofa and comfy seating

Could the cafe be part of a future shop?

Proper fixed tables and chairs in the café to create a proper cafe space

Some common ideas were given, such as:

The gym is a good idea, like the one at Lochcarron

I would like a gym and I would use a gym

is popular with some people:

A Community Gym

I would be interested in a subsidised membership to any gym in Inverness

A subsidy scheme has been successfully run by our neighbours in Strathdearn, as an alternative to a gym.

The possibility of subsidised gym membership for those living in Strathnairn seemed of interest to attendees.

Though some were not in favour of a gym

Though all were in favour of a selling space, there were questions on how this would be staffed, and whether this would require a paid employee.

Somewhere to buy essentials

A pop up facility for local crafts or producers

A refillery

Local Produce

What is a Pump Track?

A pump track is a purpose built track for cycling or any other kind of wheeled sports equipment like scooters or skateboards. When ridden properly, you don't need much pedaling or pushing to get around the loop.

The current cafe is a great success
