Below we have a message from Cawdor CC. The forthcoming restrictions to the Whitebridge route look like they will drastically increase the number of HGVs heading through Nairn and so they are inviting concerned Nairn residents to attend their meeting on Monday night (Monday 10th of August) where the issue will be debated:
Cawdor & West Nairnshire Community Council have, for the last six weeks warned of the impact, the impending 18 tonne weight restriction will have on Nairn.
Last Wednesday’s consultation meeting saw farmers and hauliers meet officials to discuss Highland Councils Roads Officials preferred routes – which direct virtually all HGV vehicles straight through the middle of Nairn.
This week has seen a marked increase in the volume of traffic travelling through Auldearn and Cawdor to avoid the Nairn delays. Given the number that currently cross the Whitebridge, taking an hour to get through Nairn may become the norm?
The impending restrictions are on the Agenda at the Community Council meeting in Cawdor Community Centre on Monday at 7.30 pm at which all are very welcome.

...but no body minds this big trucks coming through villages of Cawdor, Clephanton , Brackla, Auldearn etc etc...nobody minds that at all.
Years of underfunding on the roads and a "head in the sand" approach is coming to bite back now - how soon is that bypass going to be ready :)
