- Neil MacIntyre raised concerns about teachers
from Oban High School parking on Miller Road and not using the car park
provided at the school and asked if any parking enforcement of the area
was possible.
The Chair informed Mr MacIntyre
that his question would be raised with the relevant officer and a resolution
sought.
- Neil MacIntyre asked whether it was worthwhile
repairing the road at Dunbeg as there would be a considerable volume of
heavy goods work vehicles using the road for the next 3 to 5 years and suggested
that it would be better for the work to be left until that point.
The Chair informed Mr MacIntyre
that there was a contractual obligation for the road to be finished within a
certain time frame but the Oban, Lorn and the Isles
Area Committee would write to the Procurement Team asking for clarification on
the situation.
- Councillor McCuish raised concerns regarding
lack of progress on the Oban Airport Business Park and requested that this,
alongside the Roads Capital Programme, be added to the agenda for the
Special April meeting of the Oban, Lorn and the
Isles Area Committee.
- Marri Malloy, Oban Community Council asked
whether the proposed changes to Oban High Schools curriculum timetable were
going to go ahead to facilitate class lessons being video conferenced to
other schools within Oban, Lorn and the Isles.
Councillor Green responded that
as far as he was aware these changes were going ahead.
- Marri Malloy asked for a progress update on
the proposed roundabout at Dunbeg.
The Chair responded that officers
were currently awaiting feedback on the viability of the project and once a
further update was available she would update the Committee.
The Oban, Lorn
and the Isles Area Committee expressed their support for the project and felt
that the project should be progressed without further delay.
- Neil MacIntyre asked whether the limited
resources available for street cleaning would be looked at before the
summer season begins.
The Chair informed Mr MacIntyre that
a meeting had been set up with Roads and Amenity services to try and address
the situation.
- Rita Campbell, Press and Journal asked the
Committee whether there was an update available regarding the
rationalisation of the Oban (Millpark) Depot.
Councillor McCuish responded that there was nothing concrete at present
but talks regarding future use were ongoing. He added that there was an update
at the rationalisation project later on in the agenda.
