A tidy town is talk of the town

BID director Marie Matthews accompanied by Claire who supports BID with publicity and organises the events hit the town centre today to visit businesses.

Top of the agenda, as it often is, was the cleanliness and general tidiness of the town.

The pair spoke to managers or representatives from eight businesses and almost all of them spoke about Highland Council not pulling their weight when it comes to how the town centre looks and feels.

Marie and Claire visited Tradeway, Gelous, Brambles, Makes by Megs, Sky Delights, Swanson’s, The Nairn Woold Shop and Marie also chatted with Isla from the Brae’s Hair By Isla II.

The Nairn BID team are regularly contacting Highland Council with concerns about how the town looks. We also carry out a monthly litter pick with the team at Green Hive and following this “Board Walkabout” will bolster our efforts to take Highland Council to task.

There was lots of talk about the upcoming Summer Market which will take place on Saturday, July 11 with Makes by Megs and Swansons both booking stalls so they can be on the street and part of the market.

Another board walkabout will take place next month and this will be advertised on the Nairn BID Facebook page and in the Nairn BID newsletter.

The Nairn BID team is always happy to speak to the local businesses and if you want to arrange a visit or a chat, just email office@nairnconnects.com
