LAST week the Lochaber Times reported concerns from Fort William residents, outraged over the possibility their rents to the council for garages or for the ground on which their own garage buildings stood, could be set to rocket by hundreds of pounds each year.
But last Thursday (January 25), Highland Council said it had listened to its customers and agreed a below-inflation rise in garage and garage sites rents.
The results of a Highland Council consultation on housing, garage and garage sites rents directed the decision-making of councillors at the People Committee.
