Please ensure that Strathdearn is not one of the large number of councils that the Highland Council predict will be dissolved, as they do not have enough nominees to form a new council. Let’s make Strathdearn one of the councils that will reform by having at least 4 residents put themselves forward before midday on Tuesday 3rd October. If you want to help your community, become a Community Councillor by nominating yourself on the form on the Highland council website www.highland.gov.uk/ccelections Help in filling it in can be obtained from the elections team by emailing ccelection@highland.gov.uk or phoning 01349 886657.
I understand that those councils that do not form this time will have a chance to do so at another election in March next year. I hope that that will not be needed as Strathdearn, without a CC for about 5 months, would be a poorer place.
