Buth Bharraigh - CNES SNP Group statement

The ongoing issue at Buth Barraigh has quite rightly been brought to the attention of the public.


In this issue and others, the SNP Group has always sought compromise and finding solutions where our community can grow and progress positively together.

With Buth Bharraigh, Councillors Donald Manford and Calum Macmillan brought forward an amendment on the 26th September to suspend the longstanding decision to demolish, a sincere attempt to allow time for both parties to find compromise in this difficult situation. Both councilors had previously requested that the Comhairle deal with this item in public which was denied.

SNP Group leader, Cllr Gordon Murray stated: ”SNP Councillors Manford and Macmillan have acted, as they always do, in the best interest of their community in seeking compromise and  a positive way forward.”
