Fears have been raised about new-look social distancing barriers being installed across Inverness city centre.
Grey posts are to replace most of the existing red and white barriers that have become a familiar â and controversial â sight across the city in the past year.
The new barriers began to be placed in Academy Street at the end of last week, leading one opposition councillor to speak out on safety grounds, as well as questioning previous promises about consultation.
