Parking charges

A select team of councillors and members of the public from Lochaber will travel to Nairn next week to offer counselling to Nairnites, some of whom have clearly been traumatised by Highland Councils budget proposal that parking charges should be introduced in Nairn.

At a packed meeting in the British Legion on Tuesday evening locals and all four of Nairn's councillors met to discuss the parking charges and also the proposed closure of toilets.

There was much disquiet and some folk were visibly upset by the prospect of parking charges predicting it'd be the end of businesses on the High Street and would hurt tourism as well.

Our councillors didn't appear to be that hopeful that they would be able to overturn the councils budget plans. See the Gurn link below for full video coverage of the meeting

Parking charges have been in place in Lochaber for many years and it's hoped that the residents making the journey to Nairn will reassure those that are anxious about the forth coming charges.
