village and would like to help with community interests, come to one of the
meetings, which are always open and held on the first Monday in every month
except August and January in the village hall at 7.30pm, or let any member
know of your interest.
The council can also be contacted by
email
Some time ago, Moray,
Badenoch and Strathspey Enterprise conducted a 'community plan' consultation
in the village - although choosing to do so without any consultation with
the community council whatsoever - the community council have, however,
taken the plan on board, and amended it as time has passed. MBSE, on the
other hand, have now completely lost interest in any community involvement,
begging the question of what on earth they thought they were doing in the
first place. That said, the plan can be viewed below ...
