Report by Committee Manager, Argyll and Bute Council

The Group gave consideration to a report which outlined matters discussed during the Community Planning Partnership (CPP) Management Committee meeting held on 6 December 2024. The report highlighted that the Management Committee had noted the concerns raised by the Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands ACPG regarding the negative impacts to local people and businesses due to repeated closures of the A83 and they hoped that any further frustrations had been alleviated by the details provided by Ian Woodcock in his update on the ongoing traffic management arrangements on the A83 and improvements to the Old Military Road.

The report also provided information on a presentation in relation to ongoing work on the population and census data from the census / National Records of Scotland (NRS); the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) 2024; the CPP Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan; CPP Community Wealth Building (CWB) Short Life Steering Group; Argyll and Bute Council Equalities Outcomes Consultation and the Audit Scotland’s Tackling Digital Exclusion Report.

Decision

The Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Area Community Planning Group noted the contents of the report.
