Ward Forums across Highland focus on Police and Fire Services

A series of 20 Highland Council Ward forums are being held across the Highlands to seek the views of the public on local police and fire services. 

The first meetings are being held at Portree and Golspie on Monday 2 September and they run until 30 October.

Council Leader Councillor Drew Hendry said:  “The Council works closely with both Police and Fire Services to help ensure that Highland communities are as safe as possible.  We’re pleased to provide a platform for our partners to consult on their community plans.”

Chief Superintendent Julian Innes of Police Scotland said:  “This is a partnership approach to engagement with local Highland communities.  We look forward to listening to people’s views on how their local services are targeted.”

Scott Hay, Area Manager for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service added: “Public sector organisations work most effectively when they work in partnership.  We’ll continue to work together to keep communities safe.”

The meetings are on:
