know of your interest.

Some time ago, Moray,
Badenoch and Strathspey Enterprise conducted a 'community plan' consultation
in the village - although choosing to do so without any consultation with
the community council whatsoever - the community council have, however,
taken the plan on board, and amended it as time has passed. MBSE, on the
other hand, have now completely lost interest in any community involvement,
begging the question of what on earth they thought they were doing in the
first place. That said, the plan can be viewed below ...
