Sandown – More deals behind closed doors?
June 26th, 2010 | 
Author: We have been advised that the Sandown Lands are up for sale – check this link on the Scottish property web site.
This has prompted some strong comment from Loreine Thomson of the Nairn Residents Concern Group in the form of a couple of emails to Mr Black.
Latest: See this update: http://www.gurnnurn.com/2010/06/sandown-not-for-sale-says-sandy.html. It appears that this is an old for sale notice still marked as “Under Offer” despite additions and updates dated June 2010. How confusing.
But the big issue remains. How can the terms of an recorded agreement suddenly change with no record of a Council meeting to approve the substantive change. No wonder suspicions have been roused. Even if Deveron do still have first call on the land, they are still obliged to consult the community – unless the old agreement really has been torn up and quietly replaced.
More Madness on The Brae
Brae "crossing"
You’ll recall that before the work on The Brae was started there were numerous concerns expressed about the road layout, kerbs, parking and above all general safety. One clear indication of nonsense in planning was the fact that the traffic calming strip was generally regarded as a crossing particularly as there was a gap in the railings and a dropped kerb. Complete and utter madness. It would seem that this view is now recognised as mad by the powers-that-be as this “crossing” has now been chained off.
