The latest news in Inverness brings exciting updates on proposed developments in the area. Let’s dive into the details of what’s happening around the city.
First up, there are plans for two new takeaways to open on the Longman industrial estate. The former Pagazzi Lighting shop on Henderson Road will be transformed into two separate units selling hot food. While the specifics of the food offerings and companies involved remain unknown, the Crown and City Centre Community Council has not raised any objections to the proposal. However, concerns have been raised about potential traffic issues at the nearby junction, urging authorities to consider this aspect before making a decision.
Moving on to Inverness Campus, additional pavements are set to be added to enhance pedestrian safety at the site. The campus, home to various businesses and institutions, aims to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment by separating foot traffic from vehicles. This initiative follows previous approvals for new pavements along the main road and will further improve the overall accessibility of the area.
Meanwhile, changes are underway at the approach to the Port of Ardersier to honor its heritage. Plans for a heritage center and cafe have been revised following discussions with the local community. The updated proposal now includes a purpose-designed feature at the port’s entrance, paying tribute to the site’s history as an oil and gas fabrication yard under McDermotts. This alteration aims to better serve the community’s needs and preserve the site’s historical significance.
In other developments, Invopco is seeking to make alterations to the entrance of Revolution, hinting at a new bar or restaurant concept related to the popular Gellions Bar. Niall Philips plans to extend a garage supporting N Philips Mechanical Services, while High Life Highland is looking to extend the opening hours of football pitches at Inverness Royal Academy.
As the city continues to evolve with these proposed changes, it’s essential to stay informed about the ongoing developments shaping the local landscape.
