Residents in Creich and Golspie areas reminded that there is still time to put their names forward to reinstate community councils

Highland Council is reminding anyone considering joining their local community council that there is still time to submit their nominations.

The local authority is currently holding elections in a bid to reinstate community councils in areas where they have fallen by the wayside.

In Sutherland, Golspie and Creich community councils were suspended last October after not enough nominations were submitted to allow the groups to re-form.
