<p><strong>Wester Ross Local Plan On-Line</strong></p>
<p>The Council has also launched an interactive version of the Local Plan which can   be accessed <a href="http://www.highland.gov.uk/plintra/devplans/wross/wr_online/wr_online.htm">here</a>. This version of the Plan allows you to find out what   the Local Plan says about any location in Wester Ross at the touch of a button.</p>
<p> It will show you a map of the area you are interested in, as well as all the   Local Plan policies that apply. The Council would be interested to receive   feedback on the usefulness of this version of the Plan, and the e-mail address   is <a href="mailto:wester.ross@highland.gov.uk">wester.ross@highland.gov.uk</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>The plan follows on from the production of a comprehensive set of topic papers which was published earlier last year. <a href="http://www.highland.gov.uk/plintra/devplans/wross/wr_online/wr_online.htm"><strong>View the Plan Online Here</strong></a> </p>

<h3> HIGHLAND COUNCIL AGREES 4.5% COUNCIL TAX RISE </h3>
<p>Highland Councillors have approved a rise of £49 at Band D for the Council Tax. This represents a 4.5 % increase on last year’s figures.</p>
<p>In setting a budget of £488 million, the Council agreed the following charges in 2006-2007: -</p>
<p>A £756.67; B £882.78; C £1,008.89; D £1,135; E £1,387.22; F £1,639.44; G £1,891.67 H £2,270.</p>
<p>Councillors decided not to set an indicative tax increase for 2007-8. They agreed instead that Convener Alison Magee should seek a meeting with Finance Minister Tom McCabe to highlight the special challenges and high costs that face a council which delivers essential services to a rural and sparsely populated area.</p>
<p>The Council has also confirmed that an increase in council house rent in the new financial year should be contained at the Retail Price Index plus 1 % ie 3.4%. The average rent increase in 2006-2007 will be £1.86 per week, increasing the current weekly average rent to £55.64 (over 48 weeks). </p>
