AROUND 400 fewer trips to the shops have been made in Cromarty during the lockdown thanks to funding for a free delivery service.
Cromarty and District Community Council said that hundreds of visits which would otherwise have taken place, have been avoided thanks to money from the Covid-19 resilience funds at both Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks and the Black Isle Ward Discretionary Fund.
"With their help... we have been able to help families 'Stay at Home' by providing free delivery of shopping from the Stores," said a community council spokesman.
"As a result, 400 less visits have been made to the Stores, helping to protect both staff and Cromarty residents.
"It is hoped that more funding will soon be secured to continue this project that is helping to save lives. In the meantime, many thanks to both SSEN and the BI Ward, for helping Cromarty and its residents fight this crisis."
