DISGRUNTLED volunteers are urging the heads of Travelodge to remove the barriers preventing public use of the ‘backlands’ area in the centre of Fort William, writes Neill Bo Finlayson.
The Fort William Town Team (FWTT) have written a stern letter to the chairman of Thame and London Ltd, the parent company of Travelodge, in an effort to resolve the dispute over the land that runs behind the hotel.
As reported in last week’s edition of the Lochaber Times, the hotel chain confirmed it was responsible for a barrier which was erected to stop the public from accessing the ground for health and safety reasons.
