Suitable timing for announcement on Thurso s former town hall By Contributor Published: 11:13, 15 February 2021 Get the Courier and Groat sent to your inbox every week and swipe through an exact replica of the day s newspaper Russell MacKenzie’s drawing of the front elevation of Thurso Town Hall. The announcement last month that Thurso’s former town hall will be reopened as the North Coast Visitor Centre was suitable timing. The building was celebrating its 150th anniversary since it was opened on the evening of Thursday, January 12, 1871. When the facility closed in April 2006 for renovations, it was felt by some that Thurso had lost its town hall. To some degree, it had, as the large hall was no more.

North-east councils set for windfall - if they freeze council tax

North-east councils would be in line for millions of pounds’ worth of government compensation if they freeze council tax. The Scottish Government has set aside a £90 million fund to distribute among local authorities, should they choose to freeze council tax when they announce their budgets next month. Under the terms of the grant, Aberdeen City Council would receive £4.2 million while Aberdeenshire Council would get £4.7 million in the coming financial year. The sums are equivalent to a 3.26% increase in council tax. Aberdeen City Council’s total funding package from Holyrood for 2021/22 amounts to £376 million – an increase of more than £11 million from last year.
