Struan Skip
Would whoever put the item below in the Struan Skip please come and collect it from the recycling point and take it away. It is not allowed in the skip and will not be taken away when the skip goes.
Also, please note the skip is already over filled please do not put any more in it!
Struan Community Skip – Friday 22nd February
There will be a skip at the re-cycling point from Friday 22nd February for use by Struan residents. Please do not leave anything outside the skip and do not fill it above the level of the sides as it will not be taken away. Also please note that there are many items that are not allowed in the skip (see note below). If any of these are found in the skip the community will be charged a substantial fee based on the weight of the whole skip. If this happens there will be no further Community Skips (which would be a shame).

It is probable that those of you who are involved in providing tourist accommodation will already know about this consultation but you are all urged to complete the consultation irrespective of whether you are involved in hospitality or not.
The Visitor Levy Consultation can be completed through The Highland Council Consultation Portal :
