This happened before and protests had the decision reversed. A padlock and chain have appeared again and no explanation. If you don't have a car and you live like the majority on the other side of the river, then this is a convenient way of visiting the graves of loved ones or friends. Given that many of the people that walk to the cemetery are elderly this unexplained lock-out is very unfortunate indeed. The 'Gurn' understands that representations have been made to the Provost and the Nairn River Community Council and will inform you of any response.

The Blog has learned that the Provost has quickly replied to a constituent explaining that unfortunately, vandalism lies at the root of the problem and he would like to see a return to a lock-free situation in the future if circumstances permit.
