Nairn and Cawdor roads capital programme approved for 2025/26

A proposed list of prioritised roadworks has been agreed by Nairnshire Committee Members, which will be funded out of The Highland Council’s Capital Budget allocation for 2025/26.

Councillors have agreed funding allocations for specified locations for roads resurfacing works including footpath reconstruction/resurfacing works which can be funded from the capital allocation.

The estimated local allocation for Nairn and Cawdor (based on 2024/25) is £586K comprising £391K for overlay/inlay works and £195K for surface dressing works.

Cllr Michael Green, Nairnshire Area Chair said: “I am pleased we were able to agree a list of prioritised roadworks which will make travel in and around the Nairn and Cawdor areas smoother and will result in improved transport links for locals, visitors and businesses.

“We also recognise that there are some prioritised roads which will have works carried out should funds become available, such as any finalised increase in capital budget allocation and any potential underspend being carried forward.”

The local allocations capital budget for 2025/26 remains to be established, which will be calculated from the approved capital budget allocation.

The full list of prioritised roads for the Nairnshire area can be found in the Area Roads report to the Nairnshire Area Committee.
