In the absence of Samantha Somers, Community Planning Officer, the Chair provided an update to the Group in relation to the trial of Basecamp as follows:

“Basecamp is working well and log in details have been sent to everyone. If people have not received a log-in or have issues accessing the system please contact Samantha Somers – Samantha.somers@argyll-bute.gov.uk. There have been a wide range of posts by partners such as information campaigns from Police Scotland or the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and information from community partners as well giving information on what’s happening in the local area. I’d like to encourage you to keep using Basecamp so that we can evaluate its usefulness at the end of the year and see whether it works for Area Community Planning.”

Discussion took place around the notification settings for users of Basecamp and it was agreed that instructions around how to manage these settings would be circulated to the Group.
