Public Consultation For Inverness Areas

The Highland Council is to launch a public consultation for the Inshes and Raigmore areas of the city of Inverness.

It is understood the consultation will focus on future land use opportunities as well as local infrastructure improvements.

The feedback received will then be used to help create an Inshes and Raigmore Development Brief.

Councillor Thomas Prag, Chairman of the Highland Council's Planning, Development and Infrastructure Committee, said: "We recognise the links in this area between local and trunk roads which is why it makes sense in carrying out a joint consultation on transport issues with Transport Scotland and to create an Inshes and Raigmore Development Brief as the best way to ensure we end up with a co-ordinated solution to a critical development and transport corridor.

"This is an extraordinary important area of the city with its proximity and links to Raigmore Hospital, the campus, Beechwood, Lifescan, the Police headquarters, local retail outlets and exhibitions and give their feedback on both land use issues and how we can ensure the needs of all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists can be best met."

The consultation will commence on 30 May at Inshes Church from noon to 7pm.

A second public exhibition will take place in the Old High Church Hall on Academy Street on Tuesday 3 June, also from noon to 7pm.

Anyone who wishes to partake in the consultation has until 31 July to submit their comments.
