THE decision by Argyll and Bute Council’s planning committee to waive the rules over the construction of housing that breaches regulations was widely condemned. Jenny Low blasted: ‘ This is shocking! They should be demolished!’

Councillor Julie McKenzie praised: ‘Great to see the local paper covering Ann’s case so comprehensively – an appallingly bad decision by some of my colleagues on the council yesterday.’

Laura Cook raged: ‘ This makes a mock- ery of the planning process!!! Some of us had to follow the rules to the letter. This is just so very unfair, I cannot understand how it can be allowed.’

Gus Laurenson posted: ‘Just another example of ‘’who you know’’ as McLeods can do pretty much as they like in Argyll and Bute. Surprised Rory Colville had time to attend this meeting as he is obviously too busy to attend to his constituents issues!!’

Norman Martin wrote: ‘Utterly disgraceful treatment of a pensioner

who has given immense service to the community over 40 years.’

Gill Currie said: ‘A disgrace!’ There was praise for St Conan’s Kirk, which was listed among the top 10 buildings in Scotland from the past 100 years.

Robert Scotland wrote: ‘ Well worth a visit if you’re in the area, It’s just an amazing building:-)’

Joyce Downey agreed: ‘It is a beautiful church on the loch side worth stopping to visit.’
