You have written…..households larger than six can gather…..surely not
Fantastic idea we will definitely be joining in. Kayla and Jason will love this!!
Will you consider Units for Small Businesses But slightly larger Floor Plans ie For A local Sailmaker,
We are not a Big Branded company, in to high tech ,or lots of staff and multi million pound developments.
We are struggling to find a decent sized floor plan that can accommodate large Yacht Sails, and the space to train Young Apprentices, We have tried to reason with the local Council but they won’t consider thinking outside the Box , Would you ???
Cant wait to start a new tradition with my grandson. We live in mn and will be using the bells that my grandma collected ,who recently passes at the age of 97 this October 2020.
This is an awesome thing all people need to support this idea and ring the bells for Santa
How long are people ringing the bells?????
2mins
Awesome! Where to get bells for the children to ring on Christmas Eve.
I will be outside on Christmas eve ring my bell with u all good luck to all taking part i thinking its a wonderful way to say goodbye to a bad year and hello to a new year that will be coming a couple of more days down the line stay safe all ♥️😊
WHERE WOULD I GET THE BELLS
would santa like to get a photo at 48 twinning link forres it is like santas grotto thank you pauline stewart
great
We plan to join in this activity and will be ringing or bells on Wake Forest, North Carolina USA.
I am in complete support of a lockdown. If you look at what has worked in New Zealand and Australia, I think the UK has made too many mistakes when, by now, if we had closed down hard and stopped travel at the beginning we would not be struggling with a third wave. Hopefully vaccines will help this Spring, in the meantime I hope everyone just stays home. Winter is a good time to hibernate, Gail Shaw in Findhorn
Absolutely brilliant idea after this horrible yeargreat for the kids BRILLIANT
It is great to have some positive news in these dark days. Keep up the good work Marc.
Hi I am Terry Morrisroe and wish to congratulate you Andy Wardley for the honour you have received. Well done. You remain an excellent example of a retired RAF SNCO. Email: 69terrylyn67@gmail.com. Tel: 07948 699395.
Well deserved. He is a great guy who does so much for the community that many people know nothing about.
What a wonderful effort you have all made.
From a Forres quine now living near Lichfield. X
What a great idea to brighten our lives! Hope they remain in place for a long time.
There is no transparency in such an important decision which affects the public in such a personal way and ignores the requirements and capabilities of Moray’s major communities.
Putting Dial a bus and Stagecoach as the saviour’s of such a huge inconvenience to so many people is an insult to the infrastructure of these Communities both in personnel and suitable locations.
Congratulations, Josh, an excellent achievement. George and all staff at AES are doing great work.
Councillor George G Alexander.
Great news Mike, can’t wait for you to open. We will definitely be up to see you. Good luck x
I have frequently witnessed walkers as well as dog walkers with their dogs loose approaching the resting seals. Any chance more signs could go up? Or maybe there could be a handout/leaflet to hand over to unaware folk?
I emailed Paul wheelhouse months ago and have never received a response, copying in our MSP Fergus Ewing (who did have courtesy to reply). We are in Moyness, small community between Auldearn and Brodie. A number of us reveived our vouchers but unable to find any provider the broadband service!
A step in the right direction for some sort of normality to return to both business and personal lives.
I think there must be more signage, and also some way of stopping people and dogs from tramping all over the ‘Eee’ where every May/June the Ringed Plovers try to nest. They are so vulnerable.
The Beach at Findhorn is a world-class resource for us lucky locals and visitors. Anything that makes it even more accessible and usable, and gets us out in the fresh air, is surely to be welcomed
Well, your pockets will certainly be lighter for your brisk walk on the beach should you ‘invest’ in a beach shed!
What’s today’s date?
HRH, Prince Philip was also the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Kinloss and visited regularly when he was fitter.
Will have to try a takeaway soon
Its very very good food is beautiful and people are lovely
John….brave and justified action. Are you taking lots of water? This action may cause some to wake up…and others to come and join you. I would if I was physically strong enough but am with you in spirit.
Where in Forres?
It’s at Leys Road Car Park
John, thanks for your passion and commitment.
It would be interesting to know the age range of positive tests see if there is some pattern?
I think Douglas Ross has got a cheek taking advantage of this issue for some PR for himself since it is his government who relentlessly cut funding across the board over the past 11 years! There seems to collective amnesia about the Tory years of austerity!
A great shame that visitforres.scot includes our wonderful Falconer Museum with the comment “The museum is currently closed due to funding cuts by Moray Council”. Lets hope this is only temporary and the importance for our museum to local history, culture and education will be properly recognized and funded.
Can you incorporate a wheelchair path from there to the captain’s table area,only a thought
Hi
Thank you for your suggestion. Great suggestion.
Fabulous Marc
Thank you for supporting me with this x
You’re welcome Niki, I hope it’s popular and let us know if it becomes a regular event

That barrier is 6ft 7 and I’m 6ft 8 in stilettos, that’ll mean I’ll have to wear my wedges instead.
After Dunes Road opening, was surprised to see tents camped for the night, wasn’t sure if this was by permit and was to be the same as the motor home car parking at the other end of the village. What facilities are available e.g. human waste disposal.
I lived in Banaferry house all through the war and saw all the buildings in my neighbourhood being built. Also saw the different groups of airmen marching from their billets (which were dispersed near surrounding woods) to their meals in their mess. The officers mess was at the foot of our drive and the sergeants mess at the end of our garden. I could hear the whitleys taking off from the airfield and mother used to count them taking off and then returning, many crashes occurred and lives were lost. Being only 7 in 1941 it was impressed on my mind all the activities going on all around the area.
Mindless morons abound
Well done. Great to see new businesses taking over. Route 96 is a fantastic eatery. Well done John. Fabulous food. Good luck in your new venture
Best wishes I & W Anderson
at least it gives forres fowk something to yap about
It’s a great work , and clearly, a successful one. Congrats to Mark Creaney and Pop Pop.
Was permission sought from Moray Council to place tbis on the building? Tbis is not art and not even amusing. And certainly not fitting for Forres High St.
You nimby naysayers get a grip on reality. It’s pop up art and a good conversation starter. Obviously hitting the target too. I wonder, are the young kids asking about the sexist tabloid headlines shown in newspaper stalls every day? Daily Star for example? Internet search engines? These complainers are the kind of people that would put a blanket over Michelangelo’s David.
Hardly “nimby’ – 100m from a primary school and en-route to a nursery. Great idea for more public art but probably not ideally located bearing in mind the subject matter.
I was stopped going to attend Agra sair.Apparently aim a bully.We ‘ll I have Never ever bullied anyone.I don’t like bullies@all.Anyone that knows me knows I don’t like bullies.SO I’ve been left to cope alone with severe pain.Like most ppl with chronic pain like myself knows that we can be snappy when I’m pain.Sorry when I do snap…But you don’t know how bad I am.I’m not the only one that’s been told to leave the group.Sorry I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth but I’m saddened that this happened time and the other poorly lady
Excellent well done.
Service and food were excellent. One of the best Indian meals we have had since we left Singapore. I had never had a Sholey curry before but it had a lot of flavour and just the right amount of bite. Spicy but not too hot. My wife had the Passanda curry which was very creamer and sweet but not too sweet. We also had the Royal Mix for a starter which was excellent. Prices were very reasonable. We will definitely go back.
Good evening ,
I’m writing to enquire about horse riding lessons for a 4 year old for Christmas .
Look forward to hearing from you
God protect him.
I sent an e-mail asking how to refill the card once all the money on the card has been spent. I have still not had a reply.
Do you have to buy a new card every time the card is empty?
Good luck Liam.
All best to you Liam & Eileen.
Good luck with your business venture. It is such a lovely building and location
Good luck Liam and Eileen, it’s just what the town needs and I’m looking forward to seeing what you are doing with the Nicholson Building
Really happy to hear that you are taking this on. Thanks for your vision and hard work.
Well done Liam and Eileen, great oaks from little acorns grow.
Good to hear. I remember Jackie Falconer working there years ago. Dad served his mechanic apprenticeship at Nicholson’s in the 1940’s. It will be great seeing these places brought back to life.
Good luck.
May I correct the above information on the brown trout season. The Scottish brown trout season begins on 15th March and ends on 6th October.
Thank you, John, this has now been amended.
I thought Grant Park was a green belt area and now you want to concrete over part of it?
Given that it was gifted to the people of Forres, they have overwhelmingly voted for this to go ahead. It only occupies a small part of the park and provides that elusive ‘something to do’ that young people crave.
Brilliant, love McLean scotch pies.
Sooooo good especially on a cold day. So warming. Congratulations.
Wonderful initiative Sandra! Given it’s obviously been your lifelong ambition and that you have got so far with it, overcoming the awful obstacles of planning etc. I think it is destined to be a great experience for you. Keep well and keep safe. Judy Da Silva
All the best Claire. Well done. From an ex Forres quine. Xxxx
I remember the cafes in the late 50,s early 60,s, they were for the youngsters, and they were very popular. I hope today’s youngsters take full advantage of your fantastic thoughtfullness. (What about a juke box)?
Good luck
Aww well done Claire and I hope it all goes well and I’m sure it will be a great help to everyone in Forres
good on you quine this used to be w. lows when i went to school good to see it open again, all the best john a forres loon
Absolutely wonderful 💜🌴
I hope there is no interment of ashes either
Fantastic
do not agree with mercat cross it will be a target for the wild ones ,too close to the ground
This is absolutely ridiculous, they’ve no no thought a all for their loyal customers. It should be stopped nw!
Business organisations like the Federation of Small Businesses suggested many times over many years for shared / hub financial services as a way forward to benefit banks and building societies and their respective clients’ private and commercial.
Do we know where this has been successful?
Could the present Forres branch Bank of Scotland building be a pilot project in the North of Scotland?
#SaveOurBank #NoMoreBankClosures
Hi Pearl, a bank in Rochford, Essex trialled this idea in 2021. As far as I am aware, it is still open. Five banks took turns each on weekdays to provide their services. A great idea that would work everywhere.
The ones in town centre will be nice but I wish they’d stop putting lights in the woods. There are nesting birds and other wildlife that will be disturbed by them. It will also be providing a nocturnal gathering spot that will end up with a lot of bottles and cans lying about it.
The tidal forces at work east of the huts have have been gradually removing the sand and shingle from that part of the coast for the last few years. It has taken about 5 years (perhaps longer) for these tidal forces, acting like a narrow focused penetrating wave, to remove the sand and shingle from near the beach road to getting close to the huts themselves. It is travelling like a very slow wave attempting to penetrate the seawall and going east to west (revealing the bottom of another set of the wooden steps there every year or two)
The Groynes in place near the beach huts may be able to divert these tidal forces away from the huts, if so they will survive that oncoming onslaught. But if the tidal forces are not diverted then they’ll wash away the sand and shingle from underneath the huts. No matter how strong the huts are they will not withstand having their foundations removed and tumbling into the sea. However, this will take a few years, if it happens at all.
The Architects have not only failed to grasp the implications of these unusual tidal forces they have failed to grasp the tidal forces within the, majority of the locals. Beach huts are normally an inclusive, local community activity; not a money orientated commercial development project which excludes many on the basis of their cost.
I only joined this bank last autumn. One of the first questions I asked the teller was will this bank close any time soon. She replied, not any time soon. Now it is to be closed. Not good enough.
What are businesses and the elderly (who don’t use internet banking) supposed to do? Go to Elgin or Nairn instead of popping down to the local High Street?
I want a local bank where I can do face to face banking. I believe this still to be the safest way and secure .I’ve banked in forres for over 40 years.please don’t close this branch. The size of Forres needs a bank
Please do not close our Bank
Please do not close our bank we need a bank not everyone can do on line banking
Have they taken into consideration the older generation that don’t do online banking ,have no transportation to get them to Elgin or Nairn ,there are occasions that you like to speak to someone I myself changed banks for this very reason I line to talk to a person not a machine
The bank is essential to the life of the town and part of the community, if it shuts it doors on us it diminishes its own status as “The Bank of Scotland.”
I want to speak to a person not a machine when I have a problem. My wife and I are in our eighties and need help regularly from the very helpful staff.
PLEASE DON’T CLOSE THIS BANK!!!! I rely on it for regular in person deposits that require the service of a teller. If it closes, I will have to drive all the way to Elgin every few weeks in order to make these deposits, which are my main source of funds. I am of course not the only person who would be affected by this closure. We need a bank in Forres that we can walk into. This is a highly populated area.
Please can I subscribe
Madge, I’ve passed your details on to Axel and Gulli.
Hi Madge! If you go onto our website at http://www.marcassiefarmkitchen.co.uk you will be able to subscribe to our newsletter for offers and discounts and also order food/set up a subscription that suits your needs 🙂
Gulli
Now more than ever we need to encourage footfall in our town centre.
This could be the perfect time for a shared banks/financial hub in the secure premises that is the Bank of Scotland. I do not know of any shared financial hubs in the north of Scotland. Perhaps Bank of Scotland impending closure could have a stay of execution while this is considered or instigated?
The Post Office often won’t/cannot accommodate the needs of those who do not hold accounts with them.
I have not noticed any mention of provision of a mobile bank in Forres should this ill thought out totally disagreeable bank closure goes ahead.
Gulli…two weeks ago I wanted to congratulate you both for this excellent service! However, my IPad always says that the server can’t be found! Can you help…I’d like to subscribe!
Besides all the reasons given not to close the Bank of Scotland another is that the building itself is an architectural gem and too many of the iconic building in the High street are standing empty. I changed to BOS because my bank closed down and am very upset that now the BOS which has a central position in the High street, is closing. Another empty space in a declining high street . Please rethink this unpopular decision!
Nice one Douglas. Although perhaps drop the ” Standing with Ukraine” flippancy. Supporting yes, cheerleading yes, standing with, most definitely not.
A play area like the Ardersier Play park. Lots of areas where small children can access themselves and also equipment for older children
Currently isolating due to COVID so can I get a copy of survey emailed please
Hi Bev, you can email the council on csu@moray.gov.uk and ask for a copy to be emailed. Hope you get well soon.
I think an enclosed fence around the perimeter of the park is required. It’s right next to one of the busiest roads in the town and lots of people walk up and down the path with their dogs which can make some people feel uneasy if their children are playing and a dog runs straight up to them
Yes second this, having a child that likes to run off, it would be great to have the park enclosed for the younger kids.
An outdoor gym
A skate Park for young people.
The teenagers in forres need something to do. A decent skate park would be a massive improvement for a large percentage of children and teens. My children also really enjoy a zip line, the one in mannachie has been broken for a long time. They also enjoy a roundabout that will take multiple children (not like the small metal bowl like ones that hold 1-2 children) a large slide, a good number of swings. We also really enjoy having the small trampolines that are built into the floor (like at nairn park). My children are all big climbers so any kind of climbing equipment would be given a big thumbs up from them. I also feel it is important to have inclusive equipment like a swing, round about and other play equipment, we tried out the playpark at bellfield Park in Inverness which has inclusive play equipment and there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of inclusive play equipment between Fochabers and Inverness which is a real shame. I also agree with previous comments made that an outdoor gym would be popular and a perimeter fence to ensure children’s safety would be extremely beneficial.
This will be great. When we were up last year it was disappointing. Been coming up now for 62 years. Born in Forres though. No place like home. Can’t wait to try the cakes. Best of luck with your venture.
Definitely intend popping in very soon.
Best of luck Will stop by for a cuppa ☕️☕️☕️☕️😊
Tasty salads followed by coffees and cakes made for a fantastic birthday lunch with my Mum.
Great place!
I would definitely agree with having a fence around the park for extra safety. Also, having more equipment available for children with additional needs, and disabilities – for example a bigger swing with safety harness, a sensory wall, outdoor toys for those on the autistic spectrum.
Is there still doctors at the Forres health centre.
It seems there is only nurses or paramedics.
Can they quantify ‘environmental sustainability’?
All the best in your new adventure Ray & iris we wish you all success. Will pop in to see you. Xx
Excellent so proud of you guys
You work so hard and deserve continued success with your new business. Your excellent reputation for beautiful cakes and bakes will without doubt follow you. So happy for you.
Hi ! Please could you tell me what is planned for the Queens Jubilee on friday 3rd.
Thankyou
Such a shame that the disingenuous and shameful shameful Tory and Labour governments in London have taken away all of Scotlands own historic regiments. Here we have a kilted soldiers memorial but no kilted soldiers left to mourn for the fallen of 3 centuries in British service and for a thousand years for Scotland before that.
From 7 full time Scottish regiments in 1994 to 3 Battalions in one regiment in 2022.
Soon there will be none left.
Wake up Scotland…. you are sleep walking into oblivion.
CCTV paid for with public money, so should not the cameras be publicly accessible?
Be better using money to fix drains stop people getting flooded and there’s sewage coming up in the park where kids play and folks houses, disgusting how can that be healthy….
Well done, Ian.
Much appreciated!
I so dislike the idea of Nelson’s tower permanently diturbing the natural peace of Cluny woods by bright lighting. Sorry about it.
Do you do gluten free meals
Served for 2 years with 45 MU at Kinloss. At that time (1954) the unit specialised in updating new Canberra,s and Hawker Hunter fighters prior to dispatching to squadrons
Worked in the instrument trade
Recall on one occasion the base was the refuelling stopover for approx 50 F 86 Sabres
From the Canadian Air Force
I am looking to find Willie Boyle crew chef Kinloss..can you help
I visited this establishment when it first opened. I wasn’t sure if it was ok to go in, because of it being part of the business park. But I had a cuppa and snack with no problems at all. The lady who runs it was so friendly and helpful. Pleased to read that it is back in business and everyone, not just employees from the Business Park, will be welcome.
What will be done with the wood collected?
The map of the proposed development is vague and even confusing. Seems like further encroachment on green spaces. Profit motive? Would be good to know more detail.
Wrecking our local countryside, destroying this end of the Dava way for financial gain. Is this proposal being put before the people of Forres before it starts? Where will the access roads be built for this? How much more of this side of the town will be tarred/concreted over?
We do not have the infrastructure in Forres for yet more houses and people. Already it’s very difficult to get appointments or register with Health Centre and dentists. In addition, more habitat is destroyed for our fragile and declining wildlife populations. It was far more pleasant to live in
Forres twenty years ago. Moray Council – please stop granting planning permission for new housing on this scale.
If this project must be built, then do it on a brown field site, not in the country side where the new residents will be cut off from the centre. Unless of course they are to be provided with smart legs as well. Development is development whether “net zero” or not. Profit will be made but the beneficiaries will not be local people. It hasn’t taken long for this communitarian model to have spread from the US. I suggest all involved with decision making read the book “Behind the Green” Mask by Rosa Koire. Parts of the publicity material for the project are almost word for word identical to examples given there.
Thank you for caring and giving support and love
Wondering why you are not doing Allan Drive this year.
Well done Lorna
Aww brilliant Lorna well done 👏 ❤️ xx
This is brilliant, well done Lorna you all deserve it xx
Fresh Horizons is an excellent cafe with top quality food, in a quiet, very spacious social area equiped with a sunny balcony set over rock and water gardens.
Ideal for small group discussions, such as our local STEAMIE, lunch or just a quick refreshment before heading west on the Forres by-pass.
I think the provision of a banking hub is to be commended but we must not forget the excellent service provided by our local Post Offices in the interim.
Many people are looking forward to the Banking Hub on Forres High Street, for personal and business services.
I do hope our local Post Office will continue to be in partnership with some of the banks. I, as a business owner, since the unwelcome closure of the Bank of Scotland, have found the service at the Post Office to be most helpful and always a warm welcome.
Has this doggie not been found???
Hi Pamela. Yes she has, and I’ve updated the post to reflect this, thanks for your message.
That is really wonderful news. So happy for the family and for Bonnie.
The timber used is not durable and clear signs of serious decay and rot already evident visually. Nails and fixings are not stainless as rusting through already. A complete and utter botch design for a marine environment.
Wow. This has taken far too long. I’ve given up trying to shop on the High Street for years as it is impossible to find a space. This might actually get me out of the house and away from Amazon.
Can l buy a permit to fish for brown trout on the findhorn ?
Thanks chri
This news is so sad! My children, all over 40 now, we’re brought to the Washington every Saturday to spend their pocket money. They didn’t like going to the toy shop over the road because the ‘man’ in the Washington was so nice to them! A sad day for Forres. All the best to the current owners.
Alan, Janet & staff will be missed! (bit of understatetement! 🙁 )
I have enjoyed many years of great service, deep and meaningful conversations, and many, many laughs.
Best wishes to one and all. xx
Very sad news indeed,
You will all be sadly missed.
Thanku for Great Service over many many years
Best Wishes from Dode and Lynne
New traffic lights at bottom of Orchard Road, utter chaos, creating long tailbacks and junction blockages. Much better without. Bring back the lollipop lady.
The Beach Huts are beautiful! I am sure that it was more than just the Architect involved in creating these huts.
While they may not stand mother nature, they have value to the community and value to me. When planning my trip from California I saw these beach huts and wanted to comedown and see them for myself..
We don’t have anything like this allowed on our beaches. It definitely is beautiful, and unique for me. Even though they are closed, they are beautiful to look at. Good job Findhorn ! Beautiful,useful art.
Thanks for a great day out = the first of the year to show our old cars and bikes. The weather was not on your side however there was some dry breaks in between and good to catch up with other like minded folk. Thanks Willie – entry No 150/151.
I am trying to contact Ian Fraser who has a red mini.
My email is mikegrant0812@gmail.com
Thanks to anyone who can help
That’s great news, well done all involved, keep up the great work and enjoy each day.
Very well deserved recognition for George, committed to the community and one of the sanest councillors I encountered @MorayCouncil
These awards are looking for proposals from the community ie Mr and Mrs Joe Blogs, this is a huge opportunity for some of the ideas and proposals we see and hear of to bear fruit and not necessarily dictated by any specific public organisation.
Don’t be slow in bringing proposals forward there will be assistance to create a formal proposal from your ideas.
Prove you can make a silk purse from a sows ear

More satellites in the atmosphere! Soon there will be no real stars to see!
Would you be able to Alter a dress larger for me
Hi Nicola, you’ll need to contact the owner of the business directly.
I have a memory of being taken along the road by an old cousin of my mother who lived in Pilmuir, and being shown lines of what looked like fighters lined up on the airfield. This was around 1954, and my cousin told me they were there for disposal. I would have been 5 at the time and have wondered over the years if I was imagining this, because I can find no confirmation of aircraft being disposed of at Forres. Any comment gratefully received, My email is fdsblack@aol.com. Thank you.
Is it a ticketed event?
Thank you Marc for those kind and supportive words. Forres businesses are lucky to have your ever willing support. Let’s hope for a busy, happy #LoveLocalWeek #C2B and #B2B
You’re welcome. Thank you too for your continued positivity and support.
The best barber shop in Forres
Ace! They’ve bailed me out a few times when I’ve clicked my mouse so many times I’ve disabled my laptop. Great service!! Well deserved award!!
My friend Sheila and myself had our first visit yesterday and were really impressed by your coffee shop the scones were delicious as was the tea well done to all bringing a lovely cafe to Forres
If we were already relocated there (from Nashville,TN,US), my husband and I would surely love to be there with you Christmas Day! We’ve a heart for every disenfranchised and/or lonely person and would love to share the joy of fellowship! What an excellent gift of love you’re offering. Perhaps we’ll get to meet you at some point soon.
love the work you do for the salvage hunters , brilliant can you save a copy of your book signed by everybody for our mosstodloch flower show which I am organizing after many years abscent from the show circuit, will drop in by in January for payment.
Wow! That is amazing! I would love to see round his museum in Forres very much. When is it open?
We come to Edinburgh every summer for 3 months and our soon moving to Mount Dora, Florida. We would like to know more about the Sister City program. Also would like to visit Forres this coming summer. Hope we can travel there by train from Edinburgh
Well done Mr Moto and Crew ………. 🙂
Greetings from your Sister City: Mount Dora, Florida!
I am an avid reader and there is nothing better than opening a new book, wishing you every success in your new business , I will certainly pay a visit soon.
It’s the smell of printed paper xxx
Good luck, I’ll be in.
Fabulous news. A welcome addition to Forres. Will visit very soon.
Good luck – hope it is a huge success. We visit Forres quite regularly – looking forward to visiting.
I love book shops. Will be visiting you soon. Good luck and many many good sales to you ✨🪶
I’m over the moon that we have our own book shop in Gorres now.
Congrats on your courage and see you very soon again 😉
Congratulations in the new bookshop! Just a reminder Carol Argyris also had a wonderful bookshop in Forres … a woman with exquisite taste. She is sorely missed.
Omg can’t wait, makes Forres even better! Hope you’ll have some good classics in for when I visit! ✨
Fantastic! Thanks for doing this. See you soon…
As far as I am concerned, this has to be a good thing. No tax or no SORN = no valid insurance. No insurance means that, like my son, when his car was written off by an uninsured and untaxed driver, he lost not only the car, but his job. So, YAY to the DVLA. The more that are caught the better. NO excuse whatsoever. I had a friend who boasted about no insurance or tax. I pointed out, if they were involved in a RTC who would pay the rest of life care if anyone had life changing injuries, including them. No reason for anyone, if they do, to moan about being caught whatsoever.
I do not object to a charge for parking, it is only fair that users help pay for the upkeep. We have always put something in the contribution box, however a number of times last year we found there were no spaces available and had to leave. How are the barriers going to work, what happens if you pay to get in and then find there is no spaces, can you get your money back or do you end up paying £2 for nothing ?
I was born in Forres and have been going to Findhorn for many years. I come on holiday every year and last year I was amazed at the change down the back shore. Not for the better in my opinion. It used to be a calm, safe haven to go and walk in the dunes. Now you can’t do that without a car being up your backside. The motor home park is an eyesore. I couldn’t even get into the loo to use it. I had to go to the Captain’s Table. Not everyone has access to contactless payment facilities!!!!! I can’t walk too far now although I have not put in for a Blue Badge. I don’t intend to spoil my outings once a year to Findhorn. As we travel 600 miles to get there!! I will be parking as near to the back shore as well can get. But won’t be paying.
