PվɫÇéƬ

Since becoming the first local authority in Scotland to declare a housing emergency, PվɫÇéƬ has been working closely with its partners to address key issues.

After 13 years of successful heritage-led regeneration, PվɫÇéƬ has completed its project to restore and preserve key parts of Rothesay’s historic built environment.

PվɫÇéƬ has formally adopted a plan for the area that will help deliver new development, safeguard the outstanding environment, attract external investment and address barriers to economic growth.

Conservation and repair work started this week to help safeguard two historic buildings in Lochgilphead.

Why is the council considering freezing the council tax now?

PվɫÇéƬ is to consider freezing council tax at a special meeting next month, following a series of discussions with the Scottish Government over the last few weeks.

People living in the Parish of Kildalton and Oa, Islay, might be eligible for funding from the Campbell Bequest/McNeil Bequest.

PվɫÇéƬ’s registrars conducted nearly 500 marriages and more than 20 civil partnerships in 2023, and things are not showing any signs of slowing down soon, with 20 ceremonies already conducted so far this year and a further 314 in the diary.
