[Iain MacIlleathain - Preseantair] Nise, tha am pròiseas air tòiseachadh bhon thèid companaidhean a thaghadh airson cidhe ùr a thogail ann am Loch Baghasdal. Chaidh am pasgan fiosrachaidh mun obair a chur a-mach gu na companaidhean a tha a’ farpais airson a’ chùmhnaint. Tha còir gun tèid an companaidh a shoirbhich ainmeachadh as t-earrach an ath-bhliadhna. Tha Doneil MacLeòid ag aithris.
[Doneil MacLeòid – Neach-aithris] Tha am plana airson leasachadh mòr a dhèanamh aig Cidhe Loch Baghasdail air a bhith a’ dol airson greis. Tha Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, HIE agus na Roinn Eòrpa air airgead a chur ris, a-nis. Tha am pròiseas tairgse air tòiseachadh agus tha pasgain gan cur a-mach gu còig companaidhean airson an obair a dhèanamh.
[Aonghas MacIlleMhaolain - Stòras Uibhist] Tha sinn an dùil an uair sin, aig toiseach na bliadhna, gum faigh sinn sin air ais, is gun tig againne air taghadh a-mach à còig companaidhean a chuir a-staigh air a shon. Agus gum bi an obair air tòiseachadh, tha sinn an dòchas, anns an Ògmhios a’ tighinn.
[Calum Iain Macìomhair - CNES] ‘S e pròiseact Loch Baghasdail aon dhe na prìomh phròiseactan a th’ aig a’ Chomhairle agus Hebrides Range Taskforce air a’ phlana gnìomh aca airson leasachadh san eaconamaidh. Tha sinne a’ faicinn gu bheil am pròiseact seo na aon de na pròiseactan as cudromaiche airson leasachadh eaconomaidh Uibhist a Deas – tha e math gu bheil seo nise a’ dol a-mach agus tha sinn ag iarraidh faicinn an obair seo a’ tachairt gu math luath a-nis anns na mìosan ri thighinn.
[Doneil MacLeòid – Neach-aithris] Anns na planaichean, tha dùil ann gun tèid cidhe-iasgaich ùr a thogail le laimhrig, dà chabhsair, agus dà bhalla-fasgaidh ùr cuideachd. Am broinn sin, bhiodh marina le rùm airson gheataichean. Tha maoineachadh luach deich millean not ga chur mu seach. Tha mòran a’ faicinn gur e pròiseact cudromach a th’ ann airson leasachadh eaconomach a thoirt air Uibhist a Deas.
[Calum Iain Macìomhair - CNES] Tha sinne dòchasach ma thig an t-seirbheis ùr seo a-steach agus gum faighear an talamh ùr seo gum fosgail e cothroman ùra, cothroman matha agus gum bi leasachadh math anns an eaconomaidh air a sgàth.
[Doneil MacLeòid – Neach-aithris] ‘S e aon rud a dh’fhaodadh tachairt, aig a’ cheann thall, gun tèid an sgìre gnìomhachais a thogail mar dara ìre den phròiseact seo, rud a thathar an dòchas a chruthaicheas obraichean.
[Aonghas MacIlleMhaolain - Stòras Uibhist] Tha gnìomhachasan stèidhichte ann an seo, mu chuairt, air iasgach. Tha iad a’ sealltainn gu bheil ùidh aca. Tha sinn air a bhith a’ coimhead air gnothaichean mar a tha, gu h-àraidh a thaobh na gheataichean a thoirt a-staigh, tha companaidhean airson sin a chur air adhart. Mar a bhith a’ coimhead às an dèidh, ‘s gan cur air dòigh air a thig iad gu tìr fad a’ gheamhraidh mar gum biodh, mar sin tha sinn gu math dòchasach gun tèid againne air obraichean a chruthachadh anns an dàrna pìos dhen obair seo.
[Doneil MacLeòid – Neach-aithris] Tha dòchas ann gun lean cùisean air adhart airson an obair togail tòiseachadh meadhan an t-samhraidh. Le a’ chrìoch air a’ chiad cheum dhen phròiseact taobh a-staigh dà bhliadhna. Doneil MacLeòid, BBC An Là, Uibhist a Deas.
[Iain MacLean - Presenter] Now, the process has started from which companies will be chosen for a new quay to be built in Lochboisdale. The information pack about the work was sent out to the companies who are competing for the contract. The aim is that the company that is successful will be named in the spring of next year. Doneil MacLeod reports.
[Doneil MacLeod – Reporter] The plan to do a large development at the Lochboisdale quay has been going for a while. Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles Council), HIE and the European Union have put money towards it. The tendering process has started and the packs have been sent out to five companies for the work to be done.
[Angus MacMillan- Stòras Uibhist] We expect after that, at the start of the year, that we will get it back, and we will reach a decision about the five companies that have put in for it, And that the work will start, we hope, next June.
[Calum Iain MacIver - CNES] The Lochboisdale project is one of the main projects that the council and Hebrides Range Taskforce have on their business plan for developing the economy. We see this project as one of the most important projects to develop the economy in South Uist – it is good that this is now going out and we want to see this work happening really quickly now in the months that follow.
[Doneil MacLeod – Reporter] In the plans, the expectation is that a new fishing quay will be built with a small harbour, two causeways and two new sheltered walls too. In the middle of that, there will be a new marina with room for yachts. The money is worth in the region of ten million pounds. Many see this as an important project to develop the economy in South Uist.
[Calum Iain MacIver - CNES] We are hopeful that if this new service comes in and we get the new hall that this will open up new opportunities, good opportunities and develop the economy, as a result.
[Doneil MacLeod – Reporter] The one thing that could happen, as a result, that the business area will be lifted as second level, of this project, something that many hope, will create jobs.
[Angus MacMillan- Stòras Uibhist] Businesses are based here, around us, on fishing. They are showing an interest. We have been looking at how businesses are, especially around bringing in yachts, new companies wants to bring it forward. Looking after them and take them to land through the winter, so we are very hopeful that we will be able to create jobs in the second part of this work.
[Doneil MacLeod – Reporter] There is hope that matters will go ahead for building work in the middle of the summer, with the end of the first step of the project within two years.
