The future of controversial Academy Street revamp plans will be decided this week - in secret. The public will be banned from a Highland Council debate on using taxpayers’ money to fund an appeal against its “unlawful” consultation about the project.
“I take it local councillors will be involved in the meeting? Any local councillors who are voted in by there constituents should remember who put them there and ensure everyone's voice is heard. Its a complete farce.” - Ross Edwards
“Who do these people think they are, presuming to deny us access to how they decide to spend our money?
