Update – Harbour Street, Nairn

Works carried out by The Highland Council to make the area safe following a fire at a property in Harbour Street, Nairn have now been completed.

The Heras fencing barricade at the Harbour Street elevation can now be reduced in size and solid hoarding panels will now be delivered and erected.

The structural engineer has confirmed a 4m wide access can be provided on Harbour Street which will allow light goods vehicles, cars and pedestrian access to the harbour, restaurant, and promenade.

The vehicle carriageway will be 2.75m wide with “give and take” priority signage at each end. In addition, there will be a 1.2m pedestrian walkway. It is hoped vehicle access will be open by 2pm tomorrow afternoon (16 Jun 2023).

Works at the rear of the property will continue to remove debris and any risk to the public. All door and window access to the building will be closed off to prevent unauthorised access.
