Have you ever wondered what the NC in “NC500” actually stands for? Reading Alastair Dalton’s article questioning the impact of “The Good, The Bad and the NC500“– the answer becomes all too obvious – The No Convenience 500!
Communities in the North of Scotland have been so starved of cash by SNP Central Belt politicians there are few facilities, and hardly a public toilet remaining open on our number one tourist route.
On top of that, our idiotic Highland councillors are proposing a visitor levy, which will inevitably damage our already beleaguered hotels and B&BS, and discourage homegrown“staycationers” with yet another tax.
Surely it is time the entirely parasitic wind industry multinationals, foisted on Highland communities against their express wishes, with their obscene level of subsidies, stumped up and handed back what is effectively our own cash.
This could be used to prioritise pothole repair, road improvements and essential services like toilets, car parks, campsites and so on.
It would be just compensation for our hard-pressed tourist industry, our visitors in total desperation, and blessed relief all round.
Here in the Highlands, we do not needatouristlevy.weneed a tourist lavvy!
