SSEN Transmission has announced two further stakeholder engagement events regarding proposed road works on the A832 south of Dundonnell through to Fain Bridge.
These events will provide an opportunity to meet with the project team when SSEN says it will share a further update on its early enabling works programme and what residents can expect to see on the road over the following few months. The information events will be held on Wednesday 7th January in Aultbea Hall and the following evening, Thursday 8th January, in Badcaul Church, Dundonnell, both from 6 till 8 pm.
The Project team will be in attendance to share updated information and will be available to answer questions and discuss the proposals with community members in attendance.
Planning permission has been granted for the erection of staff accommodation on a site currently used for equipment storage at the Bakkafrost Scotland Hatchery site at Applecross near to Kishorn port.
The planning approval which will last for five years allows 20 accommodation units in two rows of ten as well as twelve individual units, a static caravan, two welfare units, a drying room and parking spaces. The statement supporting the application refers to the difficulty in recruiting and retaining skilled staff due to the lack of suitable local housing options so the provision of temporary accommodation is necessary while permanent options are secured.
A new Invest Highland prospectus designed to stimulate and promote investment opportunities and demonstrate the benefits of doing business in the Highlands is set to be launched by The Highland Council.
Aimed at attracting businesses, investors, and developers to the region, the new prospectus highlights the scale and ambition of existing public and private sector co-investment and future development plans for growth. It details £11.1 billion pounds of long-term commitments planned to invest in key public services and infrastructure and to create the right conditions for private capital investment and business growth, in particular including housing, clean energy, roads, digital connectivity, and public services.
