Police closures

Having an increasing number of bank closures affecting both residents and tourists in the Highland region, we are now seeing the announcement that 53 police stations in the Highlands area are to be sold off.

From Fortrose to Invergordon, Bonar Bridge and Lairg we will have no bank nor police station. Other police stations going are Brora and Bettyhill.

All of these mentioned places are on the very popular North Coast 500.

Tourists and residents will have neither cash nor police coverage in their towns and villages in the counties of Easter Ross, Sutherland or Caithness.
