Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to an update which provided information on the ongoing work of the Service and information on crime statistics; fraud prevention and awareness; road safety and the new Youth Engagement Officer for Bute and Cowal. The update also provided information relating to the Recovery Community meeting which was attended by Officers and a meeting with Live Argyll to discuss their Literacy and Numeracy project for adults on the Isle of Bute.

Councillor Sinclair raised road safety concerns on the A815 through Sandbank.

The Committee Manager advised that the Community Planning Group had asked for an update on potential road safety measures in relation to Sandbank and that the Roads and Infrastructure Officers, supported by the Community Development Team, would hold a stakeholder event to discuss the matter and that the outcome of this event would be subject to further discussion and consideration at a future meeting of the Community Planning Group.
