Town centre regeneration
We have town centre action plans for Tain, Nairn and Fort William. We use these plans when we make planning decisions.
We worked with local people and local businesses to shape each plan. We held workshops in each town in April and May 2014, with support from the Scottish Government.
The plans set out what we can do to help town centres become more active, attractive and easy to move around. This includes:
- improving the environment
- making better use of land and buildings
- improving access and movement
