Regeneration team boost

A GOVERNMENT-funded organisation which works on regenerating the Highlands has strengthened its communities team.

Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) has appointed a new head of its communities team based in Innse Gall.

Jane Macintosh, 54, has considerable experience of working in the islands. Following a BA in rural development at Lews Castle College, she was employed for the last six years as Initiative at the Edge officer in the Bays of Harris, and as the Better Neighbourhood Services Fund co-ordinator with Comhairle nan Eilean Siar.
