10. If you attend cultural activities in your local area as an audience member and/or participant:
Please provide your response in the box provided.
We have a local pub and community hall.
There are local bands on at the pub and there are ceilidhs at the community hall.
That's it. These are mostly held when tourist numbers are at their highest. For locals there is very little.
This is a massive factor in the depopulation of the area as there is overinvestment in Inverness and little to no money sent to outlying areas in Highland. As locals move away to receive better services properties are bought for air bandb or holiday homes at outrageous prices.
There's your strategy. Invest in these communities to keep them thriving. Give children and families opportunities or we run the risk of becoming Disneyland.
