Last I heard, construction is supposed to commence this month. Fingers crossed.
The Premier Inn proposal has been approved by the Highland Council. Is this the last dance at last?

I’ll believe it when I see it with my own eyes.
Premier plans for Thurso hotel to be announced ‘in very near future’.
“I will not be convinced until I see a digger on the site.”
Quote from Councillor Donnie Mackay as reported in the local newspaper.

I’m with Donnie on this.
Digger and dumper truck on site. Work starts Monday
Just wondering......did the diggers start last week ?
good to see a local contractor getting used for a change. all too often contractors from way down south are brought in.
The restaurant at the new Premier Inn will by a Thyme same as Millburn Road Inverness. Hopefully opening 23/10/20

I read your opening date as 23/10/19, which I thought was more than a tad optimistic given the current state of the building work!
Thyme restaurants are ok in my experience.
It’s been good to see the building finally rising up out of the ground and starting to take shape during the last week or two.
It’s been getting a second storey this week!?
I should take photos next time I pass as it’s hard to believe it’s actually being built at last.
It's just a shame it's not Asda as that would actually benefit the local people more than cheap lodgings. Our local Councillors made sure Asda wasn't ever going to get permission on this side of the county. Shame on them.
Well, it may look as if it’s nearly finished, but goodness knows when it really will be, and when the first guests will arrive.
The Mart saga continues with a totally new chapter ... .
