Michael Green will be standing for the Highland Council elections in May

Rumours had been circulating over the weekend about Michael's potential candidature and confirmation was had with the publication of today’s Nairnshire Telegraph. Michael is a prominent local business man and has also used his considerable skills successfully in the field of charity fund-raising. Grab hold of a copy of this week’s Nairnshire if you haven’t already seen it for a comprehensive history of Michael's business career. Here's Michael's internet sales company Caravan Accessories.

The Gurn understands that in addition to the information in the Nairnshire Michael is taking part in the Strictly Inverness competition, a charity fund-raising idea he came up with himself and that now raises substantial funds annually for the Highland Hospice and the Ice Centre.

This observer was delighted to read in the Nairnshire that Michael sees “regaining local control of the Common Good Fund” as one of the challenges facing Nairnshire. Hopefully this issue will go to the centre of the forthcoming election campaign and it will be interesting to hear if any of the other prospective candidates or sitting councillors who are standing again have any thoughts on restoring the Common Good to the control of the community.

"and confirmation was had-- "

A highly dubious grammatical construction which reads very clumsily.
"It was confirmed --" might have read more easily ?

When I was a "prominant local buisness man"

I was busy with the buisness, never had time to see my family grow up let alone Council service duties - good luck there..!

Can we just vote here on the Gurn now then? If so please put me down for Liz and Colin

Yes but it will be choices 3&4 that will be the interesting ones when it comes to the ballot paper. For the majority in Nairnshire this observer imagines it will be SNP 1&2 so no bother there
