LISTEN: Could Brexit bust business in the North?
Highland Council's insisting its services will continue unaffected by Brexit
Highland Council's starting to plan for the loss of over £100million of annual EU funding.
A meeting today has heard that there could be up to two-years of economic uncertainty for the North following last week's referendum result.
As the UK prepares to negotiate its BREXIT, the local authority's leader Margaret Davidson insists it will be "business as normal" for the administration and your local services.
She told MFR News: "We will be working as a council to explore what this decision might mean for the Highlands and how we can best respond to that.
"We need to promote business confidence and be as positive as we can be.
"The drop in sterling will indeed mean it will be easier for Highland businesses to export and for foreign tourists to come and visit the Highlands.
"Council business and services will continue as usual and we will endeavour to provide as much stability as we can during the uncertain times ahead."
