Inverness

City Centre

The general filth, neglect of victorian buildings, and trails of chewing gum on pavements

Brian MacLeod

Brian, you are obviously unfamiliar with the works that have and are being undertaken by the Highland Council to brighten our fair streets. It's youth and pig headed people littering that ruin the city, not the city itself. Chewing gum is the issue and its the people to blame. Fact

A Council Defender

Certainly it is sad to read this about our city, but, I have to agree it has become an ugly, poor and dirty looking city centre, full of charity shops, pubs and drunks. The Council should have made the clean-up of the buildings a priority over badly done expensive paving and ugly sculpture. The condition of the roads and pavement surfaces all around the city are in a disgraceful and dangerous state of disrepair. This is due to the cheap method of re-surfacing, using a thin layer of tar sprinkled with grit, which has proved to be false economy, and, the constant badly done patching. This all adds to the look of impoverishment Inverness now has. Come on Highland Council, get the basics right.
