A SECOND consultation on Nairn Common Good land has been launched by the Highland Council last week.
The survey, which will last until March 17, ill focus on proposals to dispose of Grant Street's workshop and yard.
Members of the Nairn community are being encouraged to respond to the proposal to dispose, by sale and/or demolition of te site.
The workshop and yard has been vacant for a significant period of time and is in a dilapidated and overgrown state.
In 2022 the Council consulted on a proposal to dispose of the property at Grant Street by sale.
Members considered representations received from the community and decided to amend the consultation to allow for a disposal by lease only.
However as the condition of the buildings on site posed major risks to health and safety and the property could not be leased in it’s present condition, it is again being proposed that disposing by sale would be the most beneficial option for Nairn Common Good fund. The proposal also includes disposal by demolition of the site.
A Highland Council's spokesperson said: "The Council is keen to hear the community’s views on the proposal and all submissions will be given full regard before a decision on whether, and how, to proceed is made."
The full consultation document is available on the council's website.
Written responses should be submitted either by email to common.good@highland.gov.uk or by post to Sara Murdoch, The Highland Council HQ, Glenurquhart Road, Inverness, IV3 5NX.
More guidance on the process is also available online.
