Issue - meetings

Question from Marri Malloy, Oban Community Council

Marry Malloy asked for a breakdown of the staycation money spent on Ganavan as she could see no sign that the agreed programme of works had been progressed.

Response from Project Manager

The Project Manager confirmed that the design for the barrier at Ganavan had been agreed and that an installation date had been set for mid-October 2021, adding that this was dependent on the availability of construction materials due to issues in the supply chain effecting the UK as a whole. He also advised that after several rounds of recruitment, additional wardens had been recruited and were due to start on Monday 13 September 2021. Whilst the new wardens were being recruited the area was regularly visited by wardens who issued tickets where parking violations had been incurred and Officers were actively engaging with visitors.  In respect of a breakdown on spending in the area, a Staycation update report would be submitted to a future meeting of the Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee which would include these details.
