Local Place Plan - Public Consultation Events

A successful event was hosted by NICE in the Cawdor Community Centre on Tuesday 12th March and was well attended by local residents. This provided an opportunity to register views about the focus of the Local Place Plan for Nairn and Nairnshire, with particular relevance to the Cawdor and West Nairnshire area.  Data is now being analysed and CC members will be invited to attend workshops in May to bring your views together.

Cawdor to Nairn River Path

Members of the public are being asked to take care when walking along the river path from Cawdor to the Howford Bridge. Warning signs have been put up by the Highland Council Access Officer, with some diversions at the worst sections where the path has been washed away. The footbridge near the Cawdor Burn, which washed away after storms earlier this year, has been replaced by Cawdor Estate.
