Former Argyll Hotel site is a real eyesore

WHAT is happening with the old Argyll Hotel site?

The fenced- off derelict area is in a key part of the town, right behind the Oban Inn and before the Regent Hotel on the Esplanade.

The old Argyll Hotel was demolished at the end of December 2011 and the plot has been sadly abandoned since.

But the security fencing around the vacant lot has become damaged and the site is litter- strewn.

Now we are into February and looking forward to spring, the tourist season is imminent.

It would do Oban’s reputation no good at all for the Argyll Hotel site to remain an eyesore.

It would be great if an entrepreneur came up with a plan to build there but, at the very least, whoever is responsible for the site should tidy it up and make it secure again.
