Decision details

The Committee gave consideration to a report that informed them on the outcome of the appraisal of flood risk management options for properties at risk of flooding in Campbeltown as part of the Campbeltown Flood Prevention Scheme project.  The report drew particular attention to the future financial investment by the Council for the project to proceed.
