from Doanalds fits in ae groat ae day

GUEST accommodation is coming under increased strain to cope with the influx of workers being deployed in Caithness on major infrastructural projects. And with the size of the incoming labour force set to rise, as new phases of work come on stream, Highlands and Islands Enterprise is considering carrying out a study of the number of rooms available in the area.

Great to see this ...anyone got any idea what the new phases of work entail ? Renewables ? And why the influx of workers....... are there not opportunities for locals to work on these projects ?? Surely HIE should be coordinating local involvement, re training / training people if possible so as to gain employment and lower unemployment rates ?
