Roads capital programme approved for Nairnshire 2024/25

Members of the Nairnshire Committee have agreed a list of proposed prioritised roadworks which will be funded out of the Capital Budget allocation for 2024/25.

The actual 2024/25 capital roads budget allocation for Nairnshire is still to be finalised.

The estimated area capital roads programme is currently based on previous years’ baseline £7.2m Highland Area Roads capital budget allocation. Therefore, the estimated local allocation for the Nairnshire area is £275,000. Should the approved 2024/25 budget differ from previous budgets then the programme will be adjusted appropriately.

Members endorsed the programme as presented to Area Committee, with some of the following proposals:

• Surface dressing works on the B9007, West of Ferness junction to Moray boundary.
• Surface dressing works on the C1159, Lochloy road.
• Surfacing works on the A939, A96  junction to B9007 junction.

Chair of the Nairnshire Area Committee, Michael Green, said: “I am pleased that a programme of works to improve roads in the area were agreed at today’s meeting. I would like to commend the hard work of our Area Roads team on maintaining our roads network during these challenging financial times”.
