Open Letter to Residents of Ardersier

 I have, today, written to the Director of Community Services to reiterate my calls for transport links between Ardersier and Nairn to be included in the current consultation on the tendering of the school and public bus process.

 Whilst the village remains serviced by Nairn Health Centre it is inconceivable that residents do not have regular transport links to and from Nairn.

 I encourage you to attend the Highland Council’s public and school transport consultation to make your views heard. 

Wed 28 Oct (6:30pm-8:30pm) Nairn Community & Arts Centre, King Street, 

Nairn Wed 4 Nov (7pm-9pm) Kinmylies Church Hall, Kinmylies Way, Inverness

 Further information about the consultation and details of other meetings can be found here.

 I would also like to take this opportunity to commend the work of all those involved in trying to put together community transport solutions. Such as the Croy, Ardersier and Petty Transport Association and Ardersier & Petty Community Council. Work to this end is on-going with local Councillors and progress is being made.

 I will continue to work with all interested parties to press for more to be done. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can be of any further assistance. 

Best Wishes 

Drew Hendry, 

Member of Parliament for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch & Strathspey Shadow SNP Westminster Group Leader (Transport)
