Updated active travel masterplans for Wick and Thurso will be used by councillors when considering future development for the towns and to help attract future funding.
The plans are aimed at making it safer for people to walk, cycle and use wheelchairs, as well as reducing congestion, improving air quality and improving footfall in town centres.
The plans were developed by Highland Council and transport partnership Hitrans and have been updated following consultation which was done virtually due to Covid.

Chair of the Caithness area committee Nicola Sinclair has welcomed an investment in the CCTV infrastructure for both Wick and Thurso town centres.
Members of the committee agreed yesterday (Friday) to use town centre funding to enhance the local surveillance system â £16,100 will be used to digitalise the existing ageing analogue public space CCTV in Wick and connect the new system into the councilâs monitoring office with £25,625 to do the same for Thurso.
