PLANS to remove signs banning coach tours dropping off holiday-makers at bus stops close to Fort William High Street are being opposed by some councillors less than a month before they stand down.
The signs, which say ‘No stopping except local buses’ have been in place on bus stops in Middle Street since October last year after a decision made in Inverness without consulting local councillors or any of the businesses on the High Street which benefit from having visitors being dropped-off close to their premises.
A Highland Council spokesperson said the signs are regulatory, traffic enforcement signs and are part of the council taking over parking enforcement.
