Road block confusion still reigns for holiday makers

CARAVANS and camper vans are still having problems with a closed road in Oban as no signs are in place, Oban community council heard on Monday.

Community councillor George Berry said confusion reigned amongst visitors trying to use the route along Glenshellach road, which was closed earlier in the year. Mr Berry said: ‘Confusion still reigns at boulders [ placed on the road to stop traffic using the road] with people being forced to unhook caravans to continue their journey. The caravan park still has no proper signs.’

Mr Berry raised concerns about the alternative route-identified for caravans, via Glengallan Road, through the busy housing estate behind Oban’s hospital.

Councillor Elaine Robertson confirmed signs for the new route to the caravan park were on order. The community council agreed to write to Argyll and Bute council to raise concerns about the new route.
