Decision details

Consideration was given by the Committee to a report which provided details on potential upgrades to Oban’s Mossfield Stadium. Members noted that the proposals were as a result of representation by event users of the Mossfield Stadium facility and that any agreed upgrades would benefit sporting events together with alternative events such as music festivals and was seen as an overall enhancement to the facility.
