Good News - VAT

The recent cut in VAT has impacted on BW's charges.
Any new invoices, including licences, moorings, electricity service charges, etc will now only attract 15% VAT.
BW is currently working on refunds for bills that have already been paid, with the most likely method of refund being a reduction in your next bill.

What Happened at the Ward Forum Meeting

After drinking tea and eating biscuits the bottom line is it looks like the restrictions on Tomnahurich and Muirtown Bridges are going to be increased.
Effectively there will be about 1 hour 40 minutes (from memory) less time to get through the bridges divided over the rush hour periods.
At great personal risk we lodged our objections that this is a significant reduction in service to us boaters and that we felt the computer modelling used to come to this decision did not really reflect accurately what boat movements are really like.
Go to www.highland.gov.uk and look at the ward forum for Inverness West if you want to see more details.
