AlternativeNess 2009 - The Winners!
This years winners of the HIGHLIFE schools
shield is once again Smithton Primary School. Each year Smithton make a special effort, involving staff and pupils, as well
as bringing in outside help from a variety of organisations. Three years in a row is quite an achievement and the pressure
is now on other schools to match the efforts made by Smithton.
The HITRANS shield went to Tim Dearman Coaches for the
Cycle/Bus service they operate from Inverness bus station. A scheduled service runs between Inverness and Durness, and
the cycle bus is also available for private hire. Tim's business has risen by 55% this year, a testament to his innovation
and the quality of service provided.
Kirsty Urquhart from Inverness High School won the INTRANS individual award for
her vision of sustainable travel in the Inverness area, and how this could be implemented. When asked by INTRANS Chairman
Cll. Roddy Balfour who presented the trophies if she was going to continue her studies in a similiar field, Kirsty replied
that she was "interested in politics".
Cllr Balfour later said " It's wonderful to see young people
taking an interest in the environment, and showing an interest in politics."
