  • Colintraive Responses 2019
    Colintraive Responses 2019 Priority Areas for Improvement: Public Transport Work and Housing and Local Community Economy How good is your place? Area wide engagement results using the Place Standard Tool Between May and October 2019, the Community Planning Partnership (CPP) used the Place Standard tool to engage residents in Argyll and Bute on how they feel about the place(s) that they live and work in Argyll and Bute. We are very grateful to all the responses that we received. We hope you find the information easy to understand and of interest to you and your community. We are pleased to see that the thematic areas of Natural Space, Feeling Safe, Identity and Sense of Belonging and Social Contact came out with the highest scores, needing the least improvement, when considering Argyll and Bute as a whole. The engagement has been undertaken at a place-based level and respondents provided their postcode, groupings of postcodes have created the settlement/community level detail. The results are available for community groups and partner agencies to use, for example, to assist with service planning or for community-led action plans. Please note: The information is the views of individuals who responded to the engagement. We trust that the information provided will be viewed within the context of which it is provided. We are grateful to all those who have taken part in the consultation and believe in sharing information for openness and transparency. We appreciate that the documents can be lengthy due to the amount of information and we hope that the format is user-friendly.

  • View Preliminary Assessment Report Appendix D Assessment Summary
    Access to Argyll & Bute (A83) Strategic Environmental Assessment & Preliminary Engineering Services Route Corridor Preliminary Assessment Route Corridor 8a – North Ayrshire – Cairndow via Colintraive Route Corridor Details Route Corridor Option Route Corridor 8a – North Ayrshire – Cairndow via Colintraive Route Corridor Description This route corridor is a combination of new offline carriageway and online upgrading works which generally follows the existing road network, with new fixed link crossings to the Isle of Bute and Cowal. The route corridor includes a connection from the A78 Trunk Road in North Ayrshire to Cowal via a 3.0km and 2.53km fixed link crossing between the mainland (within the vicinity of Portencross) and the Isle of Bute via Little Cumbrae Island and a 0.7km fixed link crossing between the Isle of Bute and Cowal (within the vicinity of the Colintraive to Rhubodach ferry crossing). From east to west, a new section of carriageway will be required between the A78 Trunk Road and the fixed link crossing to the Isle of Bute. Once on the Isle of Bute, the route corridor then generally follows the existing B881, A844 and A886. Once on Cowal the route corridor generally follows the A886 again and thereafter the A815 to tie back into the A83 Trunk Road at Cairndow. The approximate length of the route corridor where no road currently exists is approximately 6.7km with the full route corridor approximately 90km in length. The fixed link crossings to the Isle of Bute will provide significant technical challenges. This area is used by large marine vessels as well as Ministry of Defence (MOD) submarines which are based at Faslane and Coulport.

The master plan for the forest prescribes an approach to accessing and managing the three community owned areas of woodland during the next 20 years. The consultant team reported to Mark Chambers, Community Forest Development Officer during the study. 2.0 Methodology and Approach Background Research and desk top survey The study commenced with a review of previous studies and reports commissioned by CGDT, notably the Stronafian Forest Options Appraisal by Scottish Native Woods, together with the Stronafian Forest Business Plan prepared by Murdo Gauld.

  • COLINTRAIVE and GLENDARUEL COMMUNITY COUNCIL the Cowal
    COLINTRAIVE AND GLENDARUEL COMMUNITY COUNCIL The Cowal Way 1. Summary This report outlines the case for the Cowal Way to be recognised as a valuable A&B asset which now needs to be managed and maintained as such. It sets out the case for the retention and upgrading of the Way and asks for Council assistance both financially and in kind. 2. Recommendation That the committee: a) recognises the Cowal Way as a major tourism asset. b) accepts that the Cowal Way should be included in the A&B Core Paths Network in its entirety. c) agrees that a management structure should be put in place to oversee the future of the Way. d) accepts that financial assistance for the management and maintenance of the Way will be required and that any such funding request should be included in the A&B budget considerations. For 2009 this will amount to an initial figure of £48000 with an annual figure thereafter of £10000. 3. Background The Cowal Way is a long distance footpath which runs from Portavadie in the southwest of the peninsula, to Inveruglas on Loch Lomond. It was established initially as a Millennium project by Colintraive and Glendaruel Community Council (Colglen). As a deliberate policy the Way was routed entirely on: Public highway (35% - 32km) Forestry Commission road and hill path (60% - 55km) Public footpath (5% -4.5km). Since its inception it has been managed by a small steering group of Colglen volunteers. Initial funding was received via the Lottery Fund and this enabled the steering group to finance signing, waymarking and some path maintenance.
