'PEOPLE in Caithness will be unable to hear what their local Highland councillors think about moves to signpost Gaelic versions of towns and villages in their wards.
The development of the authority's bilingual policy has proved particularly contentious in the county, which previously had been allowed an opt-out. That exemption ended with the demise of the former area committee structure and the advent of the new centralised administration.
The council is now consulting on an updated list of Gaelic street and place names in the Highlands. But the deliberations of the 10 Caithness members will remain unknown to the public as they will take place behind closed doors. The full council agreed last Thursday to consult via ward business meetings and community councils.'
