Work to re-align the junction at Barmore and Garvel Roads in Tarbert, funded through the council鈥檚 拢3million Tarbert and Lochgilphead Regeneration Fund, is now complete.
These improvements have made it easier for vehicles to enter and exit Garvel Road in all directions, while also improving visibility and safety at the junction.
And as a result, in February, Tarbert Harbour Authority (THA) was able to start work on its proposals to construct a new car park, with a further 拢105,000 regeneration funding.
This complements previous work undertaken as part of the Tarbert and Lochgilphead Regeneration Fund, when the council allocated 拢125,000 to THA for their improvements to shore side facilities at Tarbert Harbour, including the conversion of the former wash house and laundry block into an office and chandlery. In early 2019 Tarbert Harbour Authority built a brand new wash house and laundry block with funding from the Coastal Communities Fund.
This is just an example of some of the transformational regeneration work taking place throughout P站色情片 and Bute that was reported to the Economic Development and Infrastructure Committee at its meeting on 5 March.
The committee also heard that:
-
The 拢2.9m Campbeltown Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme II is set to end in March having completed work on eight priority buildings, awarded three small grants and delivered a range of events;
-
Rothesay Townscape Heritage Phase II has to date completed two priority projects with another two due for completion this year; and
-
Dunoon CARS has completed one priority building and two shopfronts so far and produced a guide for property owners.
Councillor Aileen Morton, Leader of the council, said: 鈥淎 successful future for P站色情片 and Bute means attracting new residents and new businesses. We are determined to do all we can to invest in economic growth and in making our towns appealing places where people want to live, work and invest.
鈥淲e work really hard to attract funding from external investors. There are many ambitious projects going on around P站色情片 and Bute made possible from a range of funders, including: 拢1.2m from the Scottish Government鈥檚 Town Centre Fund; 拢2.3m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for Helensburgh Hermitage Park鈥檚 refurbishment; and 拢3.7m from the Regeneration Capital Grant Fund for community-led projects around the area.
鈥淲e will continue to do all we can to give P站色情片 and Bute the future it deserves.鈥
