Bute Island Alliance
Paul Duffy from Bute Island Alliance gave a presentation to the Group.
He spoke about Active Travel, hyper local level business activity, digital connectivity and the business landscape. There has been a lot of work taken forward in making connections between local business level activity and the developing business landscape, making links and providing work spaces as part of the Townscape Heritage Initiative and trying to progress community owned workspaces for new start/small scale businesses. The project is now at the stage of looking at mutual opportunities for progress and more strategic planning, and will be using the Place Standard toolkit to get an updated engagement profile of the area.
