Alexander rejects 'ugly' charge against Inverness

25-Jan-2010

Responding to the inclusion of Inverness on the shortlist for the 'UK Carbuncle' awards, local MP Danny Alexander said:

"Whoever put Inverness on this list has clearly never been here. One or two poorly designed buildings on the riverside cannot change the fact that the view up the River Ness towards the castle is rightly famous. People are choosing to move to Inverness from across the country because of our quality of life. Of course much can be done to continue improving the City Centre, but if people's choices of where to live are any indication then this misguided criticism is not widely shared."
