Liz: “. And it was all stitched up in District Council days and it is very disheartening.”

During discussion last night at the Suburban CC meeting over the Sandown debt and events to take place tomorrow when Highland Council will decide whether or not to take a part share of the Sandown lands in payment of that considerable debt, Liz lifted her hands to her forehead, they didn’t quite go all the way, but a brief look of anguish came across her face. Her hands went down again and then she said with a controlled anger in her voice: 

“I would have to say the Nairn Common Good is an absolute nightmare. Even things like, you know, the Angling Association pay fifty pounds a year and we are now paying £9,000 a year rent – well not rent but rates. And it was all stitched up in District Council days and it is very disheartening.”
