Graham Marsden cleans up the harbour

On Tuesday night the River CC heard a complaint from a local wildlife enthusiast about the litter in Nairn harbour, one of the Councillors had the received the complaint via e-mail. Graham Marsden told the meeting that he had been down on Saturday and cleaned up litter from both ends of the harbour. He said, "If there is something in there, then it is only from the last few days."

"You can't be more public spirited than that!" Exclaimed River CC chair and elder stateswoman of Nairn's Usual Suspects, Jeanne Tolmie.

This observer has heard that Graham Marsden may soon be heading up the river with a pair of snips to sort a few overhanging branches. What other jobs could oor Graham get up to in his spare time? Have Gurnites got any suggestions? A pick, shovel and wheelbarrow and he could get the bypass started? Gurnites will remember his previous statement that he wanted to set aboot the Regal with a sledgehammer.

I cleaned the south side of the harbour on friday, so would have been nothing there for Marsden on Saturday! I got fed up waiting on the powers that be doing anything.
I have been cleaning the harbour periodically for the last few years and would like to know just who is responsible for cleaning the litter from the harbour basin ?

Other jobs? Resign and take his sledgehammer with him. Some of us haven't forgotten his role in taking the chain of office from Liz. Shameful behaviour

Litter needs to be confronted at source. When did you last hear of a litterbug being fined in Nairn?
Anyway welcome to the Brave New World, perpare to do more for yourselves as Highland Council does less and less but still takes the council tax off you for free dinners for councillors in Inverness etc.
