Highland Council has given Planning in Principle to the proposed development of the Riverside Field

The Stratherrick and Foyers Community Liaison Group are looking for members interested in developing the Sports and Facilities project at Riverside Field, in part or in its entirety.

At a previous meeting there was an agreement to invite community members, from each area (Whitebridge, Errogie, Gorthleck, Torness, Foyers and Inverfarigaig), who had an interest in developing the sports and recreation facilities at Riverside Field in Foyers.  

Please contact tony-ceo@sfctrust.org.uk if of interest. 

You will join representatives of the Trust, The Community Council, nearby residents in Foyers and the Local Authority.  Councillor Chris Ballance is the Chair.  Groups who may use the facilities will be informed and invited as and when for their input.

Thank you for your interest.

I will be in touch if you have already applied next week.
