Issue - meetings

Councillor Alan Reid referred to the consultation on timetables and the proposal that the last sailings from Rhubodach and Colintraive be booked in advance.  He advised that he had received comments from Bute and ColglenCommunity Councils that they were opposed to this proposal. Mr Wohlgemuth advised that he would raise this with Tommy Gore as he was unsure of the reasons for this proposal.  Councillor Reid advised that there was strong opposition to this on both the Bute and the Colintraive sides of the crossing and a quick reply would be appreciated.

Gordon Ross referred to the current timetable between Portavadie and Tarbert and asked when this would revert back to the normal timetable.  Mr Wohlgemuth advised that he would request confirmation from Mr Gore on this matter.
