Culduthel Woods work to start

This map shows felling and tree works that Highland Council are arranging very soon.

The work is being updertaken by a firm called Apex and supervised by Highland Council. The work may start as soon as the week commencing 25 November.. The Council and contractors are responsible for all safety arrangements, but parents and children are advised to avoid the woods and to take care. 
The Highland Council is taking a lead on this essential tree safety work close to paths and pavements but some remaining trees have been identified as potentially dangerous and can not be tackled until the Culduthel Woods Group have the necessary funds so residents should be aware of the situation and avoid the woods in high winds.

The Culduthel Woods Group is holding a meeting on 10th December: please see the details below.

‘Present Voices, Future Lives’ Housing Exhibition - Inverness Royal Academy 4th November 2019

As you may be aware, the Scottish Government is committed to plan together with stakeholders for how our homes and communities should look and feel by 2040. To support the Scottish Government’s wider engagement on the future of housing in Scotland, a travelling exhibition  - curated and designed by Edinburgh University’s School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA) and Collective Architecture - will be visiting 12 locations across Scotland between 4 November and 16 December.

The ‘Present Voices, Future Lives’ exhibition will spend a full day in each of the locations and will involve daytime workshops with school children and local communities to explore how we want to live in the future.  A curated evening exhibition will be open to the public and will showcase the exhibition and the findings collected from the workshops during the day.  You are most welcome to attend the evening exhibitions.

The feedback collected through the exhibition will help to inform the Scottish Government’s final vision and a route map to 2040, which we will publish in spring 2020.

You can find further information on the exhibition at https://www.ads.org.uk/ht2040exhibition/, or contact the Housing to 2040 team at Housing2040@gov.scot.
