Issue - meetings

Douglas Blades confirmed he was waiting on a date from the Traffic Commissioner for the re-registration of this service.  He informed the Group that there were spare bus shelters at the depot in Dunoon and they were currently waiting on tenders coming back for a company to erect the bus shelters. 

He confirmed that the 4 bus stops between Sandbank and Sandhaven had been marked both ways.

Douglas Blades informed the Group that the re-registration of this service was currently sitting with West Coast Motors to implement.

Outcome

1.    Douglas Blades to chase up with West Coast Motors

2.    Sue McKillop requested action regarding the bus stop outside the Oakbank hotel in Sandbank as she had received complaints that the bus service was not always stopping here.  It was agreed to check whether a 2 way stop sign could be included at the stop adjacent.

3.    Sue McKillop requested a bus shelter be erected at Sandhaven and it was agreed that this would be added to the list with a report detailing the outstanding requests for bus shelters being brought to the next Cowal Transport meeting.

Douglas Blades informed the Group that the request for these services to be extended to pass through Argyll Street is in progress.  He hoped this would be implemented by the12th February 2018 as the Traffic Commissioner would need to be notified.
