Issue - meetings

Gordon Ross raised the question regarding the Western Ferry service on the hour, and the fact that McGill’s bus leaves before the ferry arrives. He asked if it would be able to wait at McInroy’s Point as opposed to sitting at Port Glasgow station.

Kirstie Reid said that the bus used to go from Calmac ferry to Inverclyde Royal Hospital. Apparently this is no longer on the route.

Action

The Chair advised he will investigate both points.

Gordon Ross asked a question on the Scottish Governments new free travel for under 22 year olds and why Dunoon had missed out.

The Chair advised that the new travel scheme was for inter-island travels but he would raise Mr Ross’s concerns with the Scottish Government.

Gordon Ross asked a further question on the islands connectivity plan and that there was no reference to shore side infrastructure improvements associated with the Gourock to Dunoon routes.

The Chair advised that he would raise this with parliamentarians, specifically those representing Argyll and Bute and Inverclyde.

No other business was discussed.

Mr Clough asked whether the late report he had submitted would be included within the minutes. The Committee Manager confirmed that the report had been circulated to members in advance of the meeting and would also be published alongside the agenda and minutes on the Council’s website.

There was no other competent business.
