We want to know what you think about voluntary car parking charges being introduced in Nairn and at Torvean.

Will you pay the voluntary car parking charges at Highland Council car parks in Nairn and at Torvean Swing Bridge?

Motorist will have up to 24 hours at Torvean, and a small number of campervans and motorhomes spent their first night at the car park that only opened yesterday.

People are being invited to pay, which is a measure brought in while the council considers a community consultation on charging for parking in the future.

A Highland Council spokeswoman said: “The new invitation to pay Torvean Car Park has been created at the West Link and is open and available for use.

“The invitation to pay car park is supporting the council’s visitor management strategy and the site will remain an invitation to pay facility until further public consultation can take place.

“An estimated 200 car parking spaces are available; and the site will also allow visiting coaches to lay-over while waiting to collect passengers from the city centre."

She added: “This new facility was the former construction site for the West Link Project and the new parking facility and machines came into use on Wednesday.”
