John Thurso MP will be chairing the Sutherland Summit to be held in Lairg Community Centre on Monday the 27th of April. The intention of the summit is to listen to people's concerns and suggestions on building a strong local economy for Sutherland and to help draw up an Action and Development Plan for the area. John will be introducing the Jim Mathers, Scottish Government Minister for Enterprise, Energy and Tourism to the area as well as the Minister for the Environment, Roseanna Cunningham. Jamie Stone MSP for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross will also be in attendance.
The Summit is being organized by CVS North and Voluntary Groups East Sutherland and will bring together groups from the private, public and voluntary sector to discuss the issues Sutherland faces. Youth groups from across Sutherland are also invited.
