Council service updates

27/09/2023 - Dunoon - Gourock ferry service cancelled

Due to a technical issue with the linkspan at Dunoon the Dunoon to Gourock ferry service is cancelled.  A shuttle bus will operate as close to the timetable as possible starting from 06:20 departing Gourock and 06:50 departing Dunoon.  The last shuttle buses will depart from Dunoon at 21:50 and 22:20 from Gourock. The issue is currently under investigation and an update will be provided when we have more information.  There is an alternative service operated by Western Ferries who run a vehicle ferry between Hunter's Quay (Dunoon) and McInroy's Point (Gourock).

Argyll Square traffic lights, Oban

We are aware of an ongoing sequencing issue with the traffic lights at Argyll Square, Oban.

Contractors have been onsite regarding the sequencing issues with the Argyll Square pedestrian crossing and have managed to adjust timings to delay the activation of the red light allowing more vehicles through at one point.

This is a temporary solution until a more permanent upgrade can be programmed after the tourist season ends however this has now rectified the frequency of vehicle delays and traffic flow has improved
