REPORT

Highland Council Consultation has NICE in lead role on key elements of the Project
Nick Wright asked NICE to come forward with a proposal
NICE prepared to lead and establish a Project Team
Team Hamish Funds available to get project started and to leverage in other funders
NICE will explore an approach based on the concept of a Consortium
NICE could be the lead member
NICE would hire qualified professionals where necessary
NICE would hire a project manager (like the BID)
Consortium could strike one deal with the Common Good Trustees for use of land
Advantage of Consortium is creation of contractual relationships between members
Consortium will convince external funders that Nairn is “joined up”
Consortium is flexible, each member retains financial independence
Potential Consortium Members are: Harbour Group; James’ Café; Links Tearoom;
Sailing Club; Kayaking Club; Keeping Nairn Colourful; Green Hive;
Nairn Connects BID; Nairn Museum Directors.
