Conon Bridge and Lochalsh community councils fall by the wayside - but Kilmuir and Logie Easter and Resolis good to go
TWO Ross-shire communities will not be represented in the coming months by community councils following an apathetic response to a call for candidates.
Community councils are sometimes dubbed the eyes and ears of local areas and a channel of communication to decision-makers and higher levels of government.
In Ross-shire, Conon Bridge and Lochalsh are falling into abeyance for now. But Kilmuir and Logie Easter and Resolis will form, it has been confirmed.
