| STV News (Glasgow and West) Verified
Camper vans could be banned from staying overnight in some Highland car parks. Sutherland councillors blame “anti-social behaviour” and “inappropriate waste disposal” as reasons for proposing a ban. Overnight travellers staying at two Highland Council car parks in Sutherland could face new restrictions or even fines. However, council officers have raised concerns the ban may have “unintended” consequences and could cost over £40,000 to enforce.

A report outlining the extent of the overpayments was put in front of councillors at an audit committee. Just over £614,092 in payroll overpayments is looking to be recovered. Councillors were told that a quarter of the overpayments had now been recovered, with “late notification” of changes to the payroll team identified as the main culprit.
