STAFF at Fort William’s Nevis Centre are feeling ‘very fortunate’ after the Highland Council agreed £250,000 funding for the venue.
The centre applied for the money through the Highland Council’s capital discretionary fund and the bid was accepted by Highland councillors on Wednesday (February 8). The cash will be used for urgent repairs to the roof which has been leaking.
Nevis Centre manager Kenny McLaughlin told The Oban Times: ‘It’s fantastic. The money will make a huge difference. We can’t do anything internally until the roof is fixed, so this is the first big step.’
