Report by Community Planning Manager

A report detailing the work undertaken by the sub group where they will be focusing on progressing partnership working on the needs of the community, was considered.

Max Barr from Dunoon Community Council advised that the sub group have met twice since the last Community Planning Group meeting in June and have looked at the Single Outcome Agreement and related it to de-population as they would like to focus on making Bute and Cowal a more attractive place for people to come and live and work.
