Carbuncle..........where ?

Accusations and counter-accusations have been made of late about the identity of the person who nominated Nairn for the 'Carbuncle' award.

Urban Realm, which bills itself as 'the leading magazine  for the Architectural, design and specifying industries in Scotland', despatched Mark Chalmers to the town to get his personal perspective on whether Nairn's  entry in the 2011 Carbuncle awards was valid, or mischief.

We agree wholeheartedly with one of his closing  conclusions,  'Nairn has none of the anti-charisma which hangs around  carbuncle towns''

Roadworks/Streetscape

As mentioned in a prevous article, the snagging starts on the Streetscape on Monday 11th April - hopefully it will be done quickly and without any great disruption.

We've also been led to believe that a meeting is to take place between the Highalnd Council, Bear  & Transport Scotland to try and make some sense out of the wave of roadworks madness which currently sees the town gridlocked on a daily basis. Our plans to contact the Scottish Transport Minister to see if he has any idea of what's happening have come to nothing  as we don't seem to have a Transport Minister, or any other sort of Minister, at the moment due to the impending election.

A bit like buses, we'll just have to wait and I'm sure another one will come along. A bit like buses, it may be a little late though.

 

Access Panel survey

The Nairn Access Panel are to send representatives into the High Street over the next few weeks to make  a study of the situation  regarding access to shops, cafes  and other premises for those who have restricted mobility or suffer from impaired vision.

 

There are many easy and affordable ways that businesses can improve access facilities and we'll take advice from the Access Panel when they have had chance to  collate the information they've  gathered.
