HOUSING is key to the economic prosperity of Lochaber and the wider Highlands, according to Highland Council leader Margaret Davidson.
At its meeting last week, at which Mrs Davidson was present, councillors on the Lochaber Area Committee heard how the area is experiencing significant growth in a number of sectors, including tourism and manufacturing. Lochaber councillors originally agreed local priorities for the area in 2015. Members have now reviewed these priorities and agreed they should be further refined and supported by a local action plan.
As well as housing, key priorities identified include tourism, infrastructure, education, community works and health.
