Islanders are hoping for a successful vote in favour of a community buyout of land in the Outer Hebrides
The owners of the 27,000-acre Bays of Harris Estate have said they will consider selling if there is a “decisive” number of residents who back the plans for a buyout.
“At that point, it was down to us to get the ballot organised, get the votes in and on Wednesday night, we will find out the result. Hopefully, it will be in favour of a buyout, at which point then we will be looking to start negotiating with him over a sale.” “Within the first five years, we would be looking at having initiated at least one, possibly two affordable housing projects.
Maher said the pandemic had also increased pressures, with cases of some houses being bought without purchasers even visiting the island. When it comes to being confident of a vote in favour of the Bays of Harris Estate following a similar path, Maher acknowledged not everyone has backed the plan.
