Line 7:
On the afternoon of 21st October 2021 Community Councillor Mark Drayton was choosing a bottle of red wine in Lidl when he was nudged by a slow-moving shopping trolley, full of groceries but apparently abandoned. The trolley's health-and-safety-defying operator turned out to be FITCC chairman Mark Linfield who was at that moment (no pun intended) hiding behind a warehouse cage full of packing materials. After the pair had kissed and made up, Mr Linfield revealed in passing that he had invited local businessman Angus MacDonald to address November's FITCC meeting in order to propose a significant programme of local improvements, following an apparently very thought-provoking walk up and down Fort William High Street in the company both of Mr Linfield and FITCC secretary Patricia Jordan.
An alacritous Mr Drayton advised Mr Linfield to encourage Mr MacDonald to pre-circulate a summary of his ideas but, for whatever reason, this was not forthcoming. Instead, Mr Drayton made fairly extensive notes during Mr MacDonald's presentation to the community council on 16th November, and he subsequently opened an email channel to Mr MacDonald in order to clarify and expand on a number of points. Mr Drayton created this Wikipage to document Mr MacDonald's "very welcome" initiative.
