BETTER FOR BEING THERE

Inside front cover

Famed for its majestic scenery, its Ram and its warm welcome, Moffat – the first Walkers are Welcome town in Scotland – looks forward to your visit and enjoyment of its many offerings. Its ideal location just off the A74(M) is one of Scotland’s best kept secrets. The rolling, spectacular hills of the Southern Upland Way, Annandale Way, the Devil’s Beef Tub, the Selkirk Valley, the Grey Mare’s Tail, Wamphray Glen and Drumlanrig Castle, are just a few reasons why Moffat is a perfect base to explore this unspoilt countryside.

Relax in the peace and tranquility of our friendly town. Enjoy walks, scenic drives, the Solway Coast, a beautiful rugged golf course, and the close presence of Carlisle (39 miles), Glasgow (52 miles) and Edinburgh (52 miles). Moffat’s location and attractions make it the natural place to stay.

The Moffat website www.visitmoffat.co.uk, or The Buccleuch Hotel 01683 220003 www.buccleucharmshotel.com.

All are on hand to make your stay a pleasurable experience.

Printers: Please lift headers and footers from back of cover of 2010 .pdf of What’s On Guide supplied, with the exception of the Buccleuch Hotel logo – they will supply their new logo.

The Buccleuch Arms Hotel in the very heart of Moffat will give that little extra to make your stay even more pleasurable and memorable. A very professional and friendly service is matched by a warm and welcoming atmosphere accompanied by food sourced from the region and prepared to the highest standards. All day dining from 7am to 10pm with a wine list to suit every taste. Whether it’s just for a meal, a drink, an overnight stay or a breakaway, the Buccleuch is just the place to be.

Community Emergency Plan.

All Dumfries and Galloway Community Councils have been charged to produce a community resilience plan that could be implemented should an emergency situation arise that required resource and assistance from within the community. Such instances could be isolation of the community due to severe weather conditions, a major incident, loss of critical utilities, etc. The plan would be implemented should such an emergency arise and be on the advice of the police or D&G Council. Information from the community may have a significant influence on such a decision. Such a plan has now been produced and is in place; in Moffat there is a team of 10 local people who have a copy of the plan and some of the relevant resources available to the community and the contact numbers. In Moffat, for example, three potential rescue centres have been identified; availability and need at the time would determine what resources are required to cater for that particular situation. Centres could be staffed by the Royal Voluntary Service ( RVS ). In Beattock the Village hall would be used and, if needed, Beattock School. It is the responsibility of local residents to ensure that they have their own plan and resources available such that they could sustain themselves for up to 72 hours in terms of basic provisions etc. Residents not already on a “list“, who may require assistance in whatever form, are urged to contact the Royal Voluntary Service in Moffat and complete a Personal Emergency Plan. This will be kept on the confidential ( RVS) file and be acted upon should the resilience plan be activated. For information during an emergency, or to see if an emergency has been called, please access local news media, Moffat Online, the Town Hall notice board, the Police Facebook page and Moffat Community Resilience Facebook page. On the page opposite you will find some relevant emergency telephone numbers, plus space to add your own. Keep this booklet in a place where, in an emergency, it is near to hand. The local plan is staffed by volunteers who have no statutory authority: that lies with the various professional agencies. This local planning can help prepare a community for occasions when support from other organisations (for whatever reason) is not immediately available or which may be limited in scope or capacity. Moffat Academy is keen to support the plan and may utilise some of their systems and facilities should the need arise. David Booth, Moffat and District Community Council Resilience Plan Coordinator.

Community Emergency Plan. In the event of an emergency in Moffat and District please have in place a personal plan to keep your family safe.

• Record where you could go if evacuated.

• Keep a record of family and friends’ contacts.

• Make up a Household Emergency Pack – battery radio, torch, 1st Aid Kit, important documents, medication, bottled water, tinned food.

• Note where to turn off Gas, Water and Electricity in your house.

Useful Numbers (+ add your own)

In the event of an emergency, local rescue centres may be located at the Town Hall, Proudfoot Indoor Sports and Social Club and Moffat Academy. The RVS will provide assistance to vulnerable people in the community.
