Reminder to Traders Operating on Nairn Common Good Property

Highland Council manages the Nairn Common Good for the benefit of Nairn residents – this includes the Links, The Bandstand, most of the West and East beaches and the Riverside area of the town amongst other property.

All traders operating on the Common Good land are reminded that they must register with Highland Council in order to ensure that they have full public liability insurance, proper risk management and safeguarding procedures in place. 

Traders are also required to pay a small letting charge for the ongoing maintenance of the Common Good.  This applies to anyone trading on the Links, including:  bootcamp, water sports, yoga or any other wellbeing providers who are not operating under rights of access.

Only traders who have registered with the Highland Council can display the Highland Council logo on their advertising and any member of the public paying for services on the Common Good should only do so if the trader is properly registered.

Any personal injury resulting from a business operating out with the permission of Highland Council on the Common Good may not be covered by an insurer.

Furthermore, responsible parking is also encouraged within the area when holding an activity.

Traders should contact lynne.staines@highland.gov.uk to register with Highland Council or if they require further information.
