Litir gu Cllr Foxley mu na Gearraidhean a bhuaileas air a' Ghaidhlig agus Plana Gaidhlig aig a' Chomhairle
Seo an litir a sgrìobh mi gu Cllr Foxley, comhairlichean Comataidh na Gàidhlig agus muinntir Bòrd na Gàidhlig. Bha fios a'm gun robh am Bòrd a' cur taic ris a Chomhairle a thaobh na Gàidhlig, mar sin, bha dùil 'm gum biodh beachd aca air a leithid de cho-dhùnadh a bhuaileadh air a' Ghàidhlig gu h-àraidh ann an co-bhonn ris a' Plana Ghàidhlig ac'. Mo leisgeulan gu bheil a chuid 's motha dhi ann am Beurla ach, cha Mhìcheal Foxley a-mhàin a fhuair leth-bhreac dhi agus cha robh fhios a'm an robh Gàidhlig aig càch neo dìreach aig cuid dhiubh.
17 Màrt '09
Anns na srathan agus anns na glinn, Cllr Foxley, tha deagh phiseach a' tighinn air a' Ghàidhlig. Tha mi air atharrachadh fhaicinn a' tighinn air cùisean Gàidhlig san t-srath agam fhìn a thuilleadh air a' chòrr. Mu dheireadh thall! O mu dheireadh thall! Le deagh thaic on t-seirbheis CLD, bha cùisean a' dol air adhart. Ach, a nis? Tha sibh, thu fhèin is do cho-obraichean is do phàrtaidh, a' cur às Seirbheis Ionnsachadh na Coimhearsnachd, an t-seirbheis reang-beòil air an robh sinn a' crochadh air son taic is stiùiridh. Agus, a' falbh leis a' chur às agad, faodaidh tu bhith cinnteach, na tha sinn a' feuchainn ri dhèanamh air son na Gàidhlig! Bhrùth thu fhéin am putan cur às! Chunnaic mi an dealbh is chunnaic mi an dearbhadh! Carson a rinn thu seo dhuinn? Agus a' Ghàidhlig? Tha thu taiceil ris a' Ghàidhlig, a Chomhairliche; tha thu nad bhall aig Bòrd na Gàidhlig; tha thu nad bhall air Comataidh na Gàidhlig! Mar sin, ann an ainm a' Chruitheaghair, carson a tha thu a' dèanamh a' chroin seo air a' Ghàidhlig?
Community Learning & Development - the very service that can, and is, bringing the benefits of Highland Council's Gaelic Plan to the people, to Highland communities where folk are waking up to Gaelic! And they are! - Raising awareness; working with GME & Comann nam Pàrant; Encouraging GME take-up; Setting up & working with Gaelic support groups and so much more! Who's going to pick up these pieces now?
Till I read the Council minutes for the 12th of Feb., I wouldn't have believed you would be complicit in the recent vote to axe our Community Learning Service. Without the frontline services to bring the benefits of the HC Gaelic Plan to the communities, the Plan is in danger of merely becoming the justification for a glorified internal translation service! However, as it stood, complete with officers out in the field, it was working! Here in Strathspey & Badenoch, things were beginning to happen—thanks to HC's Community Learning service. Our local CLD team even guided us on how to give our home-knitted bilingual newsletter a really impressive professional appearance—at no extra expense! Our success, in developing Gaelic, was even encouraging other straths and glens to follow our lead. It was exciting! It was working! working so well! Then you dropped your bomb on us!
Strathspey & Badenoch Developing Gaelic
For years, our wee gang of volunteers, 'Sinne', has been striving to make a difference here in our Strath: holding Gaelic days; Gaelic outings; distributing newsletters &c .. all sorts of events to try and encourage folk to learn and use their Gaelic. It's been a slow hard slog and we really weren't getting anywhere - not even slowly!
However Councillor, last year, Community Learning - who have always been supportive I hasten to add - offered us a bigger, stronger, helping hand. This, on top of all their other commitments! Their reaction followed a particularly flat and unsuccessful Gaelic presentation by another organisation altogether and which had only served to highlight the lack of direction and purpose that seems to permeate all attempts at stimulating interest in Gaelic.
Between us, and with lots of guidance from CLD, we put together a local networking Gaelic group, GaaP, [Gàidhlig anns a' Phàirc] a group of local & Inverness-based organisations with an interest in the Gaelic & the Gaelic culture of Strathspey & Badenoch. With CLD's encouragement and guidance we're learning to fly, but it is still early days. November last, we held a 2-day Gaelic Awareness & Blasad event. It was a runaway success! Last month we started up two Ùlpan courses - fully subscribed with 24 students! How many Highland communities outside Inverness could raise those numbers in a few weeks? Precious few, I imagine! After Easter, we'll have lift off for our Ceuman Beaga. It's been very hard work, but the rewards are little short of magic. We could never have done it without our local CLD service. However, there is still a long way to go. There is a lot of latent interest out there, an interest we need to tickle and waken; and, if we're not going to lose it, we need the experience of our CLD officer to locate it, manage it and develop it—a function CLD officers are clearly very skilled at.
Another exciting aspect of all this is that our tender newborn success is proving infectious. Others are for following our lead. Glen Urquhart have put together the same sort of network, GaaG [Gàidhlig anns a' Ghleann]. They've some great developments coming off but were depending on their local CLD service for support and guidance. Ballater, too, are looking to follow us with GaaP East.
We have great plans for the future ... well, we did until you dropped your bomb on us! How could you? There are no other local organisations - unbiased ones - with the skills to set us on the right road and run with it.
Isn't that what the HC Gaelic Plan is all about?
Savings?
Why didn't you pay off some high income executives - fewer deletions and greater saving. Why delete the front-line services; the services that bridge the gap between the people and the Council; a highly skilled workforce who live in the communities they serve and are totally committed to developing them. Strathspey & Badenoch is a unique area too in that it has over 10,000 of a population however scattered - not many communities, if any, that size outside Inverness. People move into this area with high aspirations. These need to be met. The Strath used to operate like a lot of small parochial units jealously guarding their own. That is beginning to change—for the better—and it's our Community Learning & Development Personnel who're bringing about that change.
I'm no mathematician, Councillor, but even I have difficulty in seeing how £261,000 in saved wages can be a saving if it's to be counterbalanced by a £280,000 outgoing for education suppliers to do the redundant CLD workers jobs - compounded by the fact that Community Learning Officers, ours certainly, do so much more than simply organising adult education!
Add to the £280,000 the redundancy packages, the onset of early pensions, the 10% enhancements.... doesn't seem like the deal of the decade to me! And this £27,000,000 the Council has managed to spend on consultancy fees over a mere 4 years? These firms must be laughing all the way to the bank. A cut back there could save many a job! Surely to goodness you have Council employees or officers who could who could take aboard many of these tasks!
Add to those costs all the decisions, plans, meetings, travelling expenses incurred drawing up the Gaelic Plan alone, never mind all other such plans, which involve Officers from the CLL/CLD services and which will now have to be ditched because you can't work it. The officers won't be there to do it! The Gaelic Plan is full of objectives for the CLL/CLD officers over the next few years; targets that can't be met because you're deleting the very service that was to carry many of them out. You'll have the cost of doing it all over again! No use depending on CnaG to carry them out; they've gone west! We're being left in the cold! Besides, your CLD officers are far better at it if the truth be known. Or, could this be a subtle move on the money managers' parts to free HC of its Gaelic obligations to the community?
Another thought that occurs: How much of HC's cutbacks is more due to the plummeting value of their investments in the HBOS Lloyds TSB conglomerate than to the rumour that it's all the blame of the Scottish Government for putting a freeze on raising community taxes?
Gagged!
I am disabled, I don't drive, I don't have a university degree; a mobile phone can stump me completely. My Gaelic is a shade rusty, but, a couple of simple and straight questions tabled by myself at the Ward Forum on 11 Feb in Kincraig, Badenoch, paralysed the Council - to such an extent that the Council high heid yins gagged the CLD/CLL employees who'd been asked to make presentations of their recent projects to the Forum - including a brilliant Gaelic one aimed at awakening Councillors, local service providers and the likes to Gaelic and all that's happening in our Strath concerning Gaelic! The Council gave the gagging order, we learned at the Forum, even as said Officers were heading along the A9, to Kincraig, to attend the meeting and give their presentations! This occurred only one day before you were all going to vote on the proposed cuts! Lets face it, Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd didn't want the voting Councillors present to be in any danger of discovering that the front line services such as Community Learning, Leisure & Development and which they knew they were about to axe, were doing such a good job locally; that they were much appreciated by residents and all those trying to develop leisure and educational facilities locally; that in fact, they'd become a pretty essential part of community life. I tabled the question; the council reacted by disrupting the Ward Forum meeting. That was a real slap in the face, one I took personally!
Legality
How can you justify making people unemployed then, in effect, hand their jobs to other organisations - not that education suppliers can even come close to meeting a community's needs - not compared to what their local CLL team can offer. It is quite obvious that the education suppliers' £280,000 has been hatched for that purpose if it's position in relation to the cuts on page S/ECS/15 of the Administration Proposals Efficiencies & Savings booklets B & D & item ECS15 of HC Special Meeting minutes—Adult Learning, 12/2/09, is anything to go by. Seems to me it's stretching legality more than somewhat!
Politics & democracy
I get a definite smell of politics associated with this hatchet job. It seemed pretty obvious to me, as I scrutinized the minutes, the votes, and voters' biographies, that this was a political decision and that it had been decided in advance. Where's the democracy in that? I have never before looked so closely at a Council vote. It's not so obvious at a glance, but dig a little and all becomes clear! My aforementioned and somewhat limited skills misses the fact that I can make a computer jump through loops! When I'm on the surf, nothing much out there gets passed me! All the LibDems & Labour and almost 100% of the Independents on one side of the vote and the ScotNats on the other. ooooh! Abair samh! The LibDem party will never again get my vote! And you used to, you know! I must be very green and cabbage like, but I hadn't seen it before. I thought we paid our Council to organise and serve our society, not play political games. The Council now most certainly gets my vote of no confidence!
Delete boxes.
I have since heard councillors saying somewhat aggrievedly, that they hadn't realised it was going to affect front-line services. What did they expect? You're not just deleting a box on a voting slip, you're deleting the services it represents and through that, people's livelihoods and community development. Like the other Highland residents, our family pays Community Tax to contribute to the necessary costs of running a large community of people and all that that infers; however, we prefer our contribution to go to front-line services than to overinflated exec wages, consultancy fees, and misjudged investments.
Now who's going to pick up the pieces, Councillor? Who's going to help us run with the Gaelic now? We cannot do it by ourselves! Not at any time, has any educational establishment exhibited the unbiased commitment and varied skills that our local Community Development service has brought into play in helping us forward the Gaelic cause. Who is going to have that commitment, the intimate local knowledge, the qualifications, the networking skills &c to run with a project such as ours not to mention all the other worthy local plans, projects & initiatives that are in the pipeline?
