Public invited to take part in Inverness West Ward Consultation Sessions

People living in the Inverness West ward of The Highland Council are invited to take part in two drop-in consultation events focussing on what people feel should be the main objectives for this area of the city over the next two to three years.    

The three ward Councillors – Bill Boyd, Alex Graham and Graham Ross - are hoping individuals and interested groups will come along to chat with them about their thoughts on what issues they feel are the most important and to check if their ideas on priorities are supported or if there are other options which the community would like to see them progress.  

Feedback from last year’s very successful event will be provided and members of the community will be able to see what progress has been made on a range of priorities.   

Residents’ views on the  Riverside Way project,  progress with pedestrian crossings over the A82, parking and the forthcoming West Link Phase 2 are very welcome as are any other areas of interest in the ward. 

In addition there will be drawings and further information on the West Link Phase 2 with staff available to answer questions.   

Speaking on behalf of the Ward Members, Councillor Graham Ross said: “We had a great response last year to our ward priority list and members of the community engaged very constructively in telling us about different issues and concerns, and suggesting how problems can be tackled.  We look forward to sharing the progress made and to hearing of any fresh priorities for the ward.  I would encourage as many people as possible to take up this chance to get involved and come along to either of the sessions.” 

Both drop-in sessions will take place on Wednesday 13th March. The first is from 1pm to 3pm at the Bught Stop and the next is from 6pm-8pm in Charleston Academy.  Anyone interested is warmly welcomed to come along.
