Campbeltown berthing facilities workshop

Post by Nick »

.
A technical workshop is being held on Monday 17 December to look at the final options for developing the berthing facilities in Campbeltown loch, including onshore facilities. The event is being run by Argyll and Bute Council in Campbeltown Town Hall from 15.30pm and all are welcome.

Martin Latimer, of CSM Scotland, Fairhurst’s marina consultants said, “I would encourage all those with an interest in how the marina will operate in harmony with other harbour and commercial uses to come along to the workshop. Local input will be vital in the development of the business plan. CSM would also like to hear from any local businesses that see opportunities to work with the marina to increase its overall economic impact on Campbeltown.”

The consultation will be open from 15:30pm where members of the project team will be available to discuss proposals. A short presentation will be held from 17:30pm with a question and answer session afterwards.

If you are interested in attending the workshop, please contact Fiona Anderson on 01546 604255, or email fiona.anderson2@argyll-bute.gov.uk. You can also write to Fiona at Development and Infrastructure, Argyll and Bute Council, 1A Manse Brae, Lochgilphead, PA31 8RD before 17 December 2012. If you are not able to attend, you can make comments or ask questions online at http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk

I believe he used to be a local police officer or sergent in Oban but is now retired.

Presumably the Martin Latimer referred to is the ex boss of Kip Marina who recently masterminded the building(or conversion) of James Watt Dock Marina.

I am sure you are right Pete, something to do with Blue sea marine or similar name.
I am sure I saw the name when looking through the recent Tall ships website.

What was the outcome of the meeting?
Are plans now finalised and is there a start/finish date for the development?

Thanks
