Argyll and Bute consults on massive project

On November 22nd, over 90 people dropped in to Oban’s Rowantree Hotel  to look at the CHORD project, a £30million  proposal to improve the area’s key waterfront towns, Campbeltown, Helensburgh, Oban, Rothesay and Dunoon. People left their comments on the proposals and talked to the project team, and their  comments will now be collated and added to the project webpage at http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/project/492.

Councillor Duncan MacIntyre, chair of the Oban CHORD project board, said: ‘I’d like to thank all those who took the trouble to come along. We have embarked on an ambitious programme of redevelopment and regeneration for Oban, and it is vital that the community feels a part of that.’

Good stuff. Here on Arran we could do with more of that hand-on consultation approach
