Decision details

Question from Neil MacKay

Mr Mackay asked why there had been three local Councillors attending the recent stakeholder meetings to discuss the future of Mossfield Stadium?

Response from the Committee

Councillor Robertson stated that she and Councillor Lynch had attended purely as observers and Councillor McCuish attended in his capacity as a representative of the McAulay Cup Association.

Question from Neil MacKay

Mr Mackay asked that following the recent achievements of Robert MacIntyre as European Rookie of the Year in the PGA and the Oban Gaelic Choir on winning the Lovat and Tullibardine Shield would the Area Committee consider reinstating the Cultural and Sporting Award in recognition of these local outstanding accomplishments?

Response from the Committee

The Committee agreed that this was worth exploring as there is a wealth of talent across Oban, Lorn and the Isles, that is not always brought to the attention of the Area Committee.

Councillor McKenzie mentioned that two local police officers, Shaun Conway and Scott Deakin, had also received the Scottish Police Bravery Award, following their actions at a dangerous and threatening incident. Councillor McKenzie suggested that the Chair, on behalf of the Area Committee, should write to these officers to commend them on this award.
