COMMUNITY COUNCILS

Oban

Oban Community Council convener Marri Malloy writes: ‘We have come to the end of another difficult year. Most of the people in Oban have obeyed the rules and have kept our community safe from this dreadful virus.

‘Oban Community Council has had a very busy year supporting the community with any issues they have brought to our table.

‘Our latest project was when we found out there was no money for Christmas lights and we decided to try and help find some funding. We applied to Oban Common Good Fund who gave us £5,000. We also applied to West Highland Housing Association who very kindly donated £1,500, and Oban Community Council gave £2,000 of our own money. ‘With the support of the people of Oban we will thrive and work together with our local councillors to keep Oban a safe and welcoming town to live in as it is now.

This only leaves me to thank my fellow community councillors for their loyalty and support this year. ‘Have a safe and wonderful Christmas with family and friends and have a prosperous New Year. ‘Hopefully 2022 will be a better one for everyone. Stay safe and look after each other.’

Dunbeg

Convener of Dunbeg Community Council Marion Power writes: ‘Greetings from Dunbeg Community Council and a welcome to all the new residents.

‘The village has several large building projects under way and the community council are in regular contact with the developers to minimise, as much as possible, disruption to the community.

‘Further developments are in the pipeline and we have two places on the Dunbeg Corridor Working Group which will enable us to have input and keep residents informed.
