Last Wednesday night there was some
discussion about the old Social Work building’s future at the River Community
Council meeting in the URC hall. Murd Dunbar on the public benches was
vociferous in his call for the building to be turned into housing. Murray
MacRae, on the other hand, thought it would be a good spot to move the library
to, saving money on rental etc as it is already a public building unlike the
library’s present location. “It’s the ideal spot there right in the centre of
Nairn,” he said.
Liz
made an interesting intervention in response to comments about NICE’s
involvement in the building, she said:
“It’s a good building and I think, they put
down this community interest and they’ve got until the end of July to come up with
whatever they come up with but there are more options for that building
than just library or housing. There are other groups interested as well and the
Council officer Matt Johnson is keeping all his options open just now.”
