Harbour Street in Nairn reopens with passage limited to light goods vehicles, cars and pedestrians

HIGHLAND council announced that access to a street in Nairn which was fenced off for almost a week has now been restored.

They confirmed that works carried out to make the area safe following a fire at a property in Harbour Street have now been completed, with the fencing barricade reduced in size.

Solid hoarding panels will now be put in its place and a 4m wide access can be provided on Harbour Street to allow light goods vehicles, cars and pedestrian access to the harbour, restaurant, and promenade.

The vehicle carriageway will be 2.75m wide with “give and take” priority signage in place at each end ad a 1.2m pedestrian walkway.

Works at the rear of the property will continue to remove debris and any risk to the public. All door and window access to the building will be closed off to prevent unauthorised access.
