The future of Inverness West?

Tonight's Inverness West Ward Forum - at Kinmylies Church Hall, Kinmylies Way, Inverness, at 6.30pm - should prove very interesting.

According to the Council web site:

"There will be an opportunity to discuss how the development of very important areas of the City including the Bught, Torvean and Muirton can be brought forward. There will be a chance for anyone in attendance to have their say on the future of their Ward and Highland as a whole through an interactive discussion with members of the Development Plans Team." and,

"Malcolm Macleod, Development Plans Manager from the Council’s Planning and Development Service, will be attending the Ward Forum to find out what local people think the main issues are over the next 20 years will be and to explain more about how the Highland-wide Local Development Plan will be used to address these."

Mr Macleod touched on the subject of developments in Inverness West at last night's Culloden and Ardersier Ward Forum, mentioning how the current retail arrangements were not working and there was a chance to develop brown field sites at Muirtown.

With an application for bulky goods retail outstanding in the A96 Corridor near the retail park and only so many retailers to go round it will be interesting to see just what the Council has in mind for Muirtown.
