A delayed multi-million pound community campus in the Highlands has finally been handed over to the council.

The £48.5m Wick Community Campus project was built by Morrison Construction and Hub North Scotland.

A turf-cutting ceremony was held in 2014 and completion was scheduled for summer 2016. However, a number of delays pushed back the projects original completion date.

In a statement, the council said: "The building is not as yet operational, and there are a number of outstanding works to be completed.

"The post-handover period will see commissioning, snagging and other work take place, prior to the Council commencing decant into the new buildings and confirming the building as operationally ready.

"The Council continues to work towards the decant dates previously advised to stakeholders."

A stakeholder meeting to provide a further update is scheduled for 31 January.
