Report by Executive Director with Responsibility for Development and Economic Growth

The Committee gave consideration to a report updating Members on the Tarbert and Lochgilphead Regeneration Fund project Ardrishaig North Public Realm (LA13).

The Committee Manager advised of a correction to the third sentence at paragraph 6.2. of the report, which should read: “The maximum cost to the Tarbert and Lochgilphead Regeneration Fund for the Ardrishaig North Public Realm project is £330,000 (to include all fees and charges) and current cost estimates indicate that the proposed scheme can be delivered within the budget.”

Decision

The Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Area Committee agreed to note the progress made with the project and to recommend to the Policy and Resources Committee that:

1.    the draft Full Business Case for Adrishaig North Public Realm is approved and that Council funding of up to £330,000 is confirmed for the Ardrishaig North Public Realm Project from the Tarbert and Lochgilphead Regeneration Fund;

2.    approval of the final Full Business Case for Adrishaig North Public Realm is delegated to the Executive Director with responsibility for Development and Infrastructure Services, subject to it being demonstrated that this is within the approved budget prior to implementation; and

3.    delegated authority be afforded to the Executive Director with responsibility for Development and Infrastructure Services for the delivery of the project.
