It was noted that since the last meeting the Dunoon Community Council, in conjunction with other CCs,
had progressed an on road cycle route in addition to the off road route
discussed previously at the Forward Dunoon and Cowal meetings.
The Chair Invited
Max Barr to outline the Community Council’s proposal with a view to all
involved working together to achieve a positive outcome. Max Barr indicated
that the Community Council had been successful in obtaining a small
grant to progress a road based route between Ardentinny
and Toward. Discussions with the local
Community Councils indicate that 5 of the possible 6 CCs between Ardentinny and Toward are interested in progressing the
idea of a coastal cycle route. The meeting was advised that Hunters Quay CC do not want involved
currently , but it is hoped by the other CCs that they may change their mind if
the project progresses.

available for the project from the Climate Challenge Fund, however, this is
still in its early stages and an application and project plan will require to
be developed The Area Governance officer
was asked to request that Moya Ingram contact Max Barr to clarify the availability
and restrictions on funding including details of what Sustrans
