Report by Executive Director with responsibility for Development and Economic Growth

Consideration was given to a report providing members with an update on Port Riddell Slip, Dunoon following the decision to remove the project from the Rural Growth Deal (RGD) Tourism and Place Programme.

Decision

The Bute and Cowal Area Committee:

1.    noted that members of the local community had indicated that there remains interest in the redevelopment of Port Riddell Slip to facilitate enhanced access to the local marine environment for leisure activities;

2.    noted that Port Riddell Slip was no longer part of the RGD programme and no funding had currently been identified to progress any enhancements to this facility and that this project could be considered for future grant funding bids or a community asset transfer; and

3.    noted that the facility was currently in a poor state of repair and vehicular access from the A815 had been restricted however, members of the public can still access the facility on foot and that consideration should be given to installing signage advising the public that use of the facility is at their own risk.
