Black Isle Local Place Plan - final consultation Cromarty

16 September 2023


Starts: 10:30

Friday 15 September       7.00  North Kessock Village Hall
and
Saturday 16 September  10.30  Victoria Hall  Cromarty

It’s time to agree the plan and decide how to realise it

We've reached the exciting moment of deciding the community's priorities, based on all the challenges, aspirations and ideas shared so far. 

Come along to one of these two events to agree what should go into the community plan, and to work out how to avoid it sitting on a shelf - including how to reset the relationship between the community and the public sector.

You'll be assured of a warm welcome and plenty of chat and discussion.

After the events, we'll prepare the plan itself and share the draft for a final check.
