AN EASTER Ross drop-in session will offer locals the chance to find out more about plans for a new 80-home housing development in their town.
The proposals for mixed tenure affordable and private housing, recreation area, public open space and associated infrastructure on land east of Rosskeen House, Invergordon has been tabled by Bracewell Stirling Consulting on behalf of Capstone Connect and Highland Council.
A pre-application consultation took place at Invergordon Rugby Club last week.
