Have your say on funding projects in Oban area

-

PEOPLE in Oban, Lorn and the Isles can have their say on how money is spent in their area by voting on the council’s Supporting Communitie­s Fund, which goes live next month.

Earlier this year, local groups and organisati­ons posted their project ideas on a website created specifical­ly for the fund - the local community will benefit by up to £2,500 per project idea. Now residents are being given the chance to vote for their favourite.

There are four funds – with £28,893 available for Oban, Lorn and the Isles – and people can vote for as many projects as they like, up to the total value of funding available in their area.

Argyll and Bute Council’s policy lead for communitie­s Councillor Robin Currie said: ‘This is a unique opportunit­y for people to vote for projects that could make a huge difference to communitie­s across Argyll and Bute.’

Further informatio­n will be announced when voting opens. To find out more about this project visit www.argyll-bute. gov.uk/abpb
