Jenny Bruce is hosting walks around Wick and Pulteneytown during the Mod. Councillor Smith pointed out that if the paths group is meant to be a Community Council sub group then they will need to look at recruiting new members as most of the existing paths members are no longer community councillors.
Wick won a silver award in the Scotland in Bloom competition; the certificate can be seen in the window of Turner’s shop in High Street, where it will stay until the Mod is over, then it will be displayed in all the windows of the organisations that were involved and eventually it will hang in the Assembly Rooms. Congratulations were offered to the Baskets Committee.

HC has plans to move the refuse collections from weekly to fortnightly but there will be more recycling options and pickups. It is still to be decided whether or not the streetlights will be dimmed at night.
