Link to notice on Highland Council website https://www.highland.gov.uk/news/article/14744/planned_part-day_road_closures_-_b862_at_scaniport

1. The planned Part-time Road Closures at the B862 at Scaniport.  This is planned for Monday 5th and Tuesday 6th September between 0900 and 1700.  Diversion routes will be in use taking HGV traffic via the main B-route network ie B862, B851 and B861 and a Light vehicles route via the Essich Road.  The Torbreck Road and the Darris/Kinchyle/Scaniport Road will be signed as Local Access Only as they are not suitable for HGV’s or high volumes of diverted traffic.
   
    The Service Buses and School Transport will be managed through the Closures along with Local Access Only traffic for local residents.  This will be done to coincide with the scheduled Bus Timetable and school times.  We will not be able to open the road at other times unless for emergency vehicle access, which will be maintained.  Pedestrians and cyclists will get through via the shared-use path under the supervision of the contractor when it is safe to do so.

Some of you may have seen it in the news but it has been announced due to industrial action there will be a disruption to the bins being collected.

Information for householders and business waste customers

The Highland Council has received union notification of industrial action involving waste and recycling staff from:

• Wednesday 24 August until Wednesday 31 August
• Wednesday 7 September until Saturday 10 September

This is part of national action being carried out at local authorities across Scotland.

We are aware of the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding during this period.

While the full impact of this is unknown, the following services are likely to be affected:

• Refuse (green bins) collection services (both household and business)
• Recycling (blue bins) collection services (both household and business)
• Food waste collections (Inverness only)
• Garden waste collections
• Household Waste Recycling Centres
• Bulky Waste Collections
• Waste Transfer Stations
• Street Cleansing including litter bins
• Fly tipping collections
• Bin deliveries

The uncertainty around staff availability means that we cannot say on any given day which bins will or will not be emptied. For this reason, our advice to residents and to our business waste customers is to put your bin out by 7am on your normal collection day but take it back in if it is not emptied by the end of the day.

If your bin has not been emptied, do not put it out again until your next scheduled collection day as we will not have the resource to catch up in between. 

Check our website and social media regularly for updates on disrupted services.

Good afternoon,

I hope this message finds you well.

Glasgow Warriors, one of Scotland’s two professional rugby union clubs, are bringing their pre-season fixture to Inverness this September. On Friday 2 September the Warriors will host English Premiership side, Worcester Warriors, as both clubs prepare for the start of their competitive seasons. 

The opportunity to bring a professional rugby match to Inverness is not an one that comes around often and with that in mind we want to make the match as accessible as possible for those in the Inverness community, and surrounding area. Therefore, we are offering £1 tickets for youngsters aged 15-years-old or under (as of 31 December 2022). Adult tickets start from £20, with Young Adult and Senior (60+) prices available too.

We’d be delighted if you were to consider bringing groups from your schools and clubs to the game to experience the excitement of a professional rugby match, or for some a new sport. Below we have provided more information on buying tickets and making group bookings. If you are not the correct contact to receive this email, please pass it on to the right club or school contact.

Match details

• Friday 2 September 2022, kick-off 7.30pm
