Inverness is run by HIAL. Imagine people too 'challenged' to work for the council where would they go? An even more dysfunctional organisation, pretty much wholly supported by government? Could be!
One has only to remember the mess that the council made of Oban, the present stupidity in Orkney and this, to see how jobsworths can thrive in a hidebound, rules orientated environment where logic is a foreign property!
