URGENT COMMUNITY ALERT: Incident at Garve Village Hall / Safety ConcernsGood evening everyone,Does anyone know who the company CellTech (based in Lutterworth, LE17 4QU) is, or who they are currently contracting for in our area?Tonight (Sunday, 13th September, around 8:00 PM), two individuals representing this company violently tried to force their way into the Garve Village Hall. They did this despite fully knowing it is a community hall and not an accommodation block.We have not contacted the police regarding tonight's incident yet. The last time we reached out about a serious issue—involving an individual from the Garve Flats allegedly entering private properties and tampering with vehicles—it took the police four days just to return our call.This brings us to a major, ongoing issue affecting our village. We cannot understand why the Highland Council Licensing Department continues to allow the Garve Flats to operate. It is clearly an unlicensed property and, according to public reviews on Booking.com, it is entirely unsafe. Reviewers have described it as "derelict and dangerous" and stated "the owner should be put in prison."These types of incidents are happening on a regular basis now. It is causing genuine fear and alarm to the residents living close to the hall.If anyone has information on CellTech, their local operations, or who we can contact to get direct action on the Garve Flats, please comment below or send a direct message. We need to keep our community safe.
