Highland Council wants to declutter Inverness High Street.
A SERIES of projects which could help breathe new life into the city centre in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic are to be considered for a funding boost.
Inverness has received just over a quarter of a million pounds as part of a £1.06 million Highland-wide pot of money from the Scottish Government to stimulate local construction and support employment.
Having invited bids for the cash, Inverness area councillors are to consider the merits of eight projects in total â six within the city centre, one in Drumnadrochit and one in Beauly.
