Coming soon a new Gurn blog: 'Time for a single Community Council for Nairn!'

The time has come Gurnites. Nairn is capable of punching its weight in the Inverness dominated world and the Royal Burgh of Nairn Community Council would be the ideal democratic forum to do that. Since the demise of the old Nairnshire District Council there has been a democratic deficit within the County Boundaries. 

''Time for a single Community Council for Nairn!' will be hitting the digital presses  for (hopefully) the Monday morning edition but if you are standing in the digital queue at the virtual Co-op with 40p in your hand perhaps you might get a sneak preview tomorrow night. This new blog will argue the case for a Royal Burgh Council but in the interests of Democracy will also carry information on what some consider the pitfalls. There will be information on how you can contribute to the debate and help the dream come true. When you think about it Gurnites - what on earth would be wrong with a democratically elected body called 'The Royal Burgh of Nairn Community Council' meeting in the Courthouse and expressing the  views of the town's residents in a world that increasingly sees Nairn as simply a suburb of Inverness.  Let's go for it! There will be a consultation period between April and June, we have to act, the chance might never come again.
