Time for one community council in Nairn?
The Gurn is pushing harder on the issue of a single Nairn community council, and has launched a new blog to focus on the issue and develop the arguments: Time for a single community council for Nairn!.
Graisg makes an attempt to be fair by providing an “against” argument, but I’m not convinced there is one [...]
Joe gets things done!
The photo exhibition of Joe’s photos on the swans is still available to view outside of the library – didn’t actually get to stop and enjoy it until yesterday, and certainly worth a look before it finishes on Monday.
In the meantime, though, he’s been keeping busy – by getting the HC to be busy – [...]
Researching Property Prices in Nairn
I’ve been doing some research into property prices in Nairn over the past week, after finding Net House Prices actually provides sale price information on property without having to sign up.
What I found interesting is that there are a couple of properties on Osprey Crescent on the Lochloy development that have been sold four time [...]
Fake blog comments
Noticed lasted night that someone has been posting fake comments at the Gurn pretending to be me.
I normally sign comments with a:
- Brian
at the end.
However, someone else has been doing so, usually to post something intended to read as unpopular.
It’s pretty sad, really, that in the world we live and all the problems that [...]
Sandown enquiry starts today
The appeal by Deveron against refusal by the Highland Council to approve their Sandown development gets under way today.
The BBC covers the story very briefly, but more details are found in the P&J story.
Interesting to see a South Community Councillor has a blog and has commented on the issue.
Perhaps more interesting, though, is a story [...]
Charlie Chaplin walk in Nairn?
The fact that Charlie Chaplin used to holiday regularly in Nairn is not well known outside of the town, but I know some people have been pushing hard to get something done.
Now Ardersier author John Oliver is pushing to get a walk instated – though with a projected “couple of statues” with a cost of [...]
Lochloy traffic lights out – again!
Traffic lights at Lochloy Road are out again.
Looks like we had a power cut last night, but all the other traffic lights seem to be working fine.
Not sure what the excuse will be this time? Too cold for signals?
UPDATE: As of 1pm they are working again. For the time being.
Spelling goes downhill at Millbank Primary?
Getting very concerned about the teaching at Millbank Primary School.
Normally, I’d consider it a very well regarded and successful school, but this year the teaching staff seem to have lost the plot in some areas.
The P7 pupils are being given stupidly easy spelling assignments, and even though many parents raised concerns at the last parent’s [...]
Nairn craft skills under spotlight
Melanie Muir is featured in Craft & Design magazine, and is highlighted as one of only 5 people from the Highlands area forwarded for an award from Hi Arts.
It’s always nice to see a positive story Nairn, not least when they reveal the richness of skills and expressions within the town, that could be easily [...]
Alchemy submits plans for new data centre
Alchemy have formally submitted plans for a new data centre by the harbour in Inverness.
If this plan actually goes ahead, the benefits to small IT business should not be under-estimated – there is a huge cottage industry in reselling space in data centres, either through the direct co-location of servers, or even the reselling of [...]
