West Bay Access Road
Plans are well advanced for the creation of an access road from the Highland Council’s Industrial Estate onto the Harbour West Bay Industrial Estate and we hope to progress this issue in the coming weeks/months.
Harbour Engineers Wallace Stone have submitted drawings/plans to Highland Council seeking their approval and once this is granted the contract will be put out to tender. Hopefully this will be sooner rather than later.
Following on from their successful inaugural season participating in the Skye & Lochalsh Football League (they reached three finals and won the League Championship) it was agreed at the latest meeting of the Authority that we continue sponsorship of Mallaig F.C. for the 2019 season.

Best of luck to Mallaig FC for the 2019 season – here’s to more success!

Retiral
After 35 years at the Authority I have decided to retire and I leave office at the end of June. My successor has been appointed and Mrs Jacqueline McDonell will take up her role on Monday 3rd June.
I have greatly enjoyed my time with the Authority and would like to thank all Board Members who have served the Authority and helped me greatly through the years.
I need to thank in particular Mr Michael Currie who was Chairman for most of my time with the Authority and Mr Charlie King who was appointed Chairman in 2014 and was Vice-Chairman for the previous 30 years or so. Over the years they have helped me enormously as we plotted a course through sometimes very stormy waters!
I would also like to thank Harbour Staff, past and present for putting up with me and always being there when needed. They really did go the extra mile when requested.
Thank you all very much and best wishes to Jacqueline in her new post. (Photo Iain Ferguson)
