Invergordon to Alness ‘active travel’ footpath bid seeks public feedback
PROPOSALS to create a new active travel path linking two major Easter Ross communities are due to come under the public spotlight next week.
Sustrans and Highland Council are working together to gauge support for a new footpath between Rosskeen and Invergordon.
The aim is to extend the existing Alness to Rosskeen shared use footpath and provide a safe, direct and enjoyable walking, wheeling and cycling connection that offers better sustainable travel options between Invergordon and Alness.

This route was identified as a priority in the Alness/Invergordon Active Travel Masterplan for improvement.
A recent feasibility study identified the least environmentally impacting option to be an active travel path on the coast side of the B817 road.
Two drop-in public engagement sessions will take place next week for people to look over proposals and provide comments and feedback.
The events take place on Wednesday 4 December 2024 at the following locations:
11am – 12.30pm: Alness Library, Averon Leisure Centre and Library, High St, Alness, IV17 0QB.
2pm – 5.30pm: Invergordon Library, High St, Invergordon, IV18 0DG.
Everyone is welcome to come along, look at the drawings and speak to the staff from Sustrans and the Council who will be there.
Anyone unable to attend can still contribute to the project design and be kept up to date on progress by visiting this website - https://rosskeeninvergordonat.commonplace.is/
