The Council should have made the clean-up of the buildings a priority over badly done expensive paving and ugly sculpture. The condition of the roads and pavement surfaces all around the city are in a disgraceful and dangerous state of disrepair. This is due to the cheap method of re-surfacing, using a thin layer of tar sprinkled with grit, which has proved to be false economy, and, the constant badly done patching. This all adds to the look of impoverishment Inverness now has. Come on Highland Council, get the basics right.
