Open meeting will ask public for ideas on Wick Harbour’s future

THE public is being asked to attend a meeting to give their views which could determine the future of Wick Harbour.

Wick Harbour Authority will be holding an open meeting to ask the public for their input into its proposals to expand the port to accommodate the growing renewable energy industry.

Chairman Willie Watt will begin the meeting with a brief outline of the harbour’s plans before holding a workshop where the public will be asked to give their ideas.

The port is in line to play a major part in the developments in the renewable sector and the oil and gas industry which could create up to 300 permanent jobs.

The meeting takes place at Mackays Hotel at 7.30pm tonight (Friday).
