Brough Bay Association

The committee of the Brough Bay Association exclude local residents from being full members of the association for their own ends. Even people who have lived in the village all of their lives have been told that they cannot join. They also pretend that they own all of the land at the Bay, but this is untrue. The deeds clearly show a section as belonging to the company Brough Bay Ltd. The chairman of the association has caused untold trouble in the village and has been visited by the police several times.

Celebrations at Brough Harbour

On 14th June 2011, there were celebrations for three new projects in Brough. Sadly very few of the villagers were invited. The pier looks really nice now but sadly the area is spoiled by the Brough Bay Association's boats being dumped at the bay spoiling the overall effect.

Subsequent reports in the John o Groats Journal expressed disgust at the BBA and saying that they should look after the area better.

Fence at Brough Bay

Of course, the existence of the fence does not mean you cannot use the land behind the fence, but please do not damage the fence - it is monitored by CCTV to protect it from vandalism. Feel free to use the bay as you normally would and once the bully boys have withdrawn their claim, the bay will be restored to its former glory without the fence. The fence has been wrecked and stolen by vandals and the boats put back in situ.

Land dispute

We apologise to users of Brough Bay for the inconvenience of having a fence across part of the car park. This is due to a land dispute with the Brough Bay Association who are claiming the land of Brough Bay Ltd. despite there being title deeds in the latters' name, and the usage of the land far earlier than that of the association. The fence will be removed when the BBA withdraw any claim on the land of the Company and fulfil certain other conditions. The project to renovate the pier can then continue.

We are sincerely sorry, but have had no choice but to take this drastic action. You can contact us via this blog should you have any queries. The fence was erected on
13th February 2011.
