Plans are well advanced for the creation of an access roadfrom the Highland Council’s Industrial Estate onto the Harbour West BayIndustrial Estate and we hope to progress this issue in the comingweeks/months.
Harbour Engineers Wallace Stone have submitteddrawings/plans to Highland Council seeking their approval and once this isgranted the contract will be put out to tender. Hopefully this will be sooner rather than later.
