Do you find yourself with a withered looking Christmas tree in the aftermath of Christmas and are wondering what to do with it? If you are looking for a way to dispose of your Christmas tree, then how about recycling it, while also helping an important conservation cause? The Seafield sand dunes conservation cause is asking people to drop off their natural and real Christmas Tree to Seafield Conservation Forum for free. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Caroline Egan, Co-Moderator of Seafield Conservation Forum. Photo (c): Christmas tree by geralt from pixabay via Canva

Clare's newly-appointed Seasonal Dog Warden says she'll strive to make the county's beaches safe spaces for all this summer. The local authority has bolstered its beach patrols for the summer bathing season in order to combat issues such as dog fouling and dog attacks. Clare FM's Seán Lyons reports. ===== With the summer bathing season now well underway, Clare County Council has vowed to take a dogged approach to beach safety. From May 15th up to September 15th, a host of beaches across the county are monitored for dog control. The monitored areas are Ballyalla Lake, Ballycuggeran, Killaloe, Bishopsquarter, Brew's Bridge, Cappagh, Carrigaholt, Doolin, Fanore, Kilkee, Lahinch, Mountshannon, Querrin Pier, Quilty, Seafield, Spanish Point, Trá Leathan, White Strand Doonbeg and White Strand Miltown Malbay. To facillitate these patrols, Annette Kenny has been appointed as Seasonal Dog Warden for the county. She says her role isn't to prevent people from enjoying the summer months with their canine companions but to ensure everyone feels safe and secure when visiting the county's waterways. [CLIP] Beach bye-laws restrict dogs from being on beaches from 11am to 6pm throughout the bathing season. Long-serving Clare County Dog Warden Frankie Coote insists this is necessary as violent incidents have taken place in the past. He says stern consequences will face those who fail to rein in their pets.

Clare County Council has confirmed it will be employing sixteen dedicated staff members to manage beaches this summer. Four of the beach operatives will have responsibility for Kilkee, Cappagh, White Strand Doonbeg, Carrigaholt and Seafield, while the other twelve will look after Lahinch, Doolin, Fanore, White Strand Miltown Malbay and Spanish Point. Their duties will include upkeep of beach facilities, litter control and assisting visitors. Lisdoonvarna Fine Gael Councillor Joe Garrihy is confident it will bring major benefits for the tourist season.

On Thursday's Morning Focus, Pat spoke to the Co-Moderator of the Seafield Conservation Forum about the dispute over a piece of land in Quilty. The commonage known as Sandhills was traditionally used for visitor car parking at Seafield Beach but now an area is fenced off, resulting in motorists parking on both sides of the narrow approach roads. Residents have previously expressed their frustration at the situation and landowner Caroline Egan felt that farmers must stick to the Clare County Council bylaws and environmental protection plans.

On Tuesday's Morning Focus, Alan was joined by Michael Neenan, chairman of the Clohaninchy Action Group. There has been ongoing disputes over land in Quilty, the land in question is the Sandhills which is also known as freehold land or commonage at Seafield beach. The dispute has resulted in a minority of those who own the land fencing it off in order to prevent people from parking there. Michael discussed the local community outrage and how due to the fencing off of the area the parking space has been limited and cramped. He also highlighted the funding that was put on pause as a result.

The Taoiseach inists Uisce Eireann are analysing all feasible options to provide suitable wastewater infrastructure to communities in West Clare. Spanish Point, Doolin & Carraigaholt are among the tourist hotspots without such services, while the utility formerly known as Irish Water pleaded guilty to five counts of breaking environmental laws in connection with wastewater contamination in Miltown Malbay last year. However Clare Indpendent TD has raised the possibility of the Seafield treatment plant in Quilty taking on the additional workload as the site is currently operating at just 51% of its capacity. Responding to the Scariff Deputy, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says a strategic investment is underway to determine the best approach going forward.

A West Clare Councillor is issuing a call to action to landowners in Seafield to consider selling to the local authority in order to facilitate accessibility works in the area. Kilkee Fianna Fáil Councillor Cillian Murphy is appealing to individuals or groups in the area who own land near the pier to reach out if they'd be willing to sell.

Biking it.

On Tuesday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey spoke to Kilkee based Fianna Fáil Cllr Cillian Murphy, and Michael Neenan, Chair of Seafield Tidy Towns. Locals in Seafield are concerned about a number of issues in the area. There is a lack of parking on the road out towards Seafield pier which has led to cars being parked en route, severely limiting access. If the emergency services were needed, they would not be able to get through and there are no public toilets. Money had been afforded to create a co-ordinated car-park, however there have been objections and the local authority haven't yet proceeded.

Short story in Scots aboot a favourite faimly pet, by Glenn Muir

You may have come a cross the Council’s proposals for Seafield, which it describes as an “urban area housing-led mixed-use site” – whatever that means. In practice, it means turning the ‘metal mile’ into a new shoreline community. If done well, it could be real asset, transforming the western end of Portobello beach. However, the document contains the following warning: The potential development, if done badly and with a lack of community input, threatens to leave us with an ugly and uncoordinated development, with a lack of supporting infrastructure”. It all adds to the need for the kind of Development Trust that Justin Kenrick of Action Porty was suggesting in the Podcast at the weekend. We have also heard from Portobello Community Council about the closure of Brunstane Road for an 18 month trial starting in the autumn. It follows a meeting of the Council’s Transport and Environment Committee. The Community Council was rather frustrated that its own views were buried within the 1000 responses received and tucked away in an appendix. And perhaps inevitably, the decision has led to a lot of sometimes hostile comment online, especially when people read that the assorted consultation exercises came out roughly 25% for and 75% against the idea. And finally, on a lighter note, this afternoon I will be interviewing singer-songwriter Rosie Nimmo who launches her fourth Album, “Where Time Suspends”, at the end of the week. Rosie has clearly been putting her time in lockdown to good use. She’s released a couple of tracks already as singles which have been picked up by programmes on BBC Scotland, BBC Nan Gaidheal and BBC Wales; and she’s also performed some of the songs live on the online channel Home Song. You can hear more in the podcast on Saturday.

When you think of Portobello Beach, you tend to think of an area from (say) the Figgate Burn along to the Swim Centre. But it actually stretches almost two and a half miles from Seafield to Joppa. People tend to be put off using the Western end by a number of factors, not least the caravans at the foot of Kings Place and the air of neglect along the part behind the car showrooms. Although there have been ideas developed over what to do about the area, little has actually been done. And so, in a sense of frustration over the lack of action, a private survey has just been launched by the owners of the Boathouse to test public opinion.You can find the survey here: https://tinyurl.com/y3t6h2al

Some of you may have had people knocking on your door asking you to sign up to make regular donations to the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home. We have heard that some Porty residents have been put off by this approach, especially when given the impression that the Home has had a ‘difficult year’ financially. They also wonder why the charity is employing what one described as ‘door-to-door’ salesmen with quite strong Geordie accents who don’t quite seem to fit with an organisation with its home at the far end of the Prom. The answer is that the Home has launched a new campaign and handed the contract for part of it to an agency based in the North East of England. To find out more about this campaign and how it is being rolled out, Porty Podcast Producer David Calder spoke to Nicola Gunn, the Home’s Director of Fundraising and Communications. He started by asking about the suggestion that there were financial problems at EDCH, something she insists is far from the case.https://edch.org.uk/

Portobello has looked in some detail at the idea of producing its own energy – or at least earning some money for the community by doing so. The project to have a wind turbine on a coastal site at Seafield made considerable progress almost 10 years ago, only to fall at one of the final hurdles. The idea has not gone away however – and, with the Scottish Government’s commitment for the country to become carbon neutral, there’s been growing interest in how Porty can contribute to this. Podcast Producer David Calder went to a meeting in Bellfield, set up to look at the options.https://www.edinburghsolar.coop/

Portobello Prom and Beach are well used by locals and visitors alike – one only has to think of the crowds who thronged here over the Easter Weekend to see this in action. However, there’s been a lot of interest in how to improve the area, to make everyone’s enjoyment of the beach that much better; and we’re not just talking about the area where most people tend to congregate, between Tumbles and the Swim Centre. The Prom after all stretches from Seafield all the way to the Pumping Station in Joppa, a total of two miles. In the Podcast, we’ve reported on some the changes that are taking place. However, many of them are being drawn under the umbrella of Friends of Porty Prom (and Beach) which held its first ever AGM this past week. David Calder was there.

Over the last few days, you may have seen great changes at the Seafield end of the Prom. The wall at the back of the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home (EDCH) had been covered with graffiti and frankly looked an embarrassment! All of that has now been covered with white paint and a huge 25m (80ft) mural has been installed as well. It’s a joint venture between EDCH and the Edinburgh Shoreline Project – we heard a couple of weeks ago how it was also involved with planting shrubs, trees and insect-friendly flowers along the same stretch of the Prom. The mural, a striking piece produced by Studio N_Name, was formally unveiled yesterday and Porty Podcast Producer, David Calder, was there.https://www.edch.org.uk/https://edinburghshoreline.org.uk/http://www.studiononame.co.uk/

We’ve discussed the Edinburgh Shoreline Project before on the podcast. This weekend, volunteers from the Seafield Shoreline Group will be out planting saplings in the embankment from the Dog and Cat Home along towards King’s Road. The idea is to increase the diversity of plants in that part of the Prom which should, in turn, increase the diversity of wildlife in the area. At present, the Seafield section is the least popular part of Portobello Beach; and the aim of the Shoreline Group is to make that area more attractive. The coordinator of the Group is Emily O’Brien who explained what would take place this weekend of David Calder.https://edinburghshoreline.org.uk/

Driving in towards Portobello from the West, you can't help but notice the bright green signs advertising the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home. It's a large, triangular site between the main road and the start of the Prom at Seafield. It's been there for almost 70 years - but it's story reaches back to the middle of the 19th century as Porty Podcast producer, David Calder, found out.

Edinburgh has 27km of coastline from Port Edgar to Joppa. Other cities around the world have made the most of having such a sea front – Edinburgh, for the most part, hasn’t. You can’t walk or cycle the coast from end to end. Instead, large areas are blocked off by industrial buildings, some dating back centuries. But change is slowly taking place. There’s a growing appreciation of the important role of the shoreline habitat. And now, a year-long project, under the guidance of the Royal Botanic Gardens, is bringing together schools, community groups and individuals to join together and work to regenerate natural habitats along the Forth. We joined a group from Portobello at the Seafield end of the Prom. Anyone who would like to get involved in any way can contact Charlotte Johnson at cjohnson@rbge.org.uk
