Just 4 councillors that sit with 76 others on the Highland Council. That's why there's a popular movement for a single community council for the whole of the town. If we can achieve that then in the long-term it will be far more important than whoever we send to Glenurquart Road. We need an organisation that the town as a whole can respect; an organisation that will enjoy the support and active backing of the community. The Royal Burgh Community Council - bring it on!

One that like most, looks for a quick, short term solution to any big issues. It falls in love with which ever developer comes along with a 'Grand plan' and a promise of money.Then moans, rubs it's hands and says, "Not our problem it's the developers fault", when nothing happens, the cash never comes and people start asking why. De-select, re-elect, look for more imaginative, business minded people to properly represent the interrests of the town.........volunteers step this way!
