Mid Argyll, Kintyre and Islay

Appendix IV

Area Strategy and Action Plan

Mid Argyll, Kintyre and Islay Area Committee have agreed 2 geographical priority areas and 5 partnership priorities. Many of these involve Community Planning Partners.

The Committee have agreed that in regard to the geographical areas, service departments should target and prioritise these areas for any revenue funding which is not specifically allocated to service functions.

They further agreed that in regard to the 5 partnership areas, the first priority is to arrange meetings with other identified local partners to discuss action on each of these points.

The 2 geographical priority areas are

1. Campbeltown and South Kintyre

and

2. Islands of Islay, Jura, Colonsay and Gigha.

The specific priorities for these 2 areas are on Appendix (A) and Appendix (B). These include ongoing projects which have already been allocated funding.

Appendix (C) details partnership projects.

Next review date November 2003

Each project is numbered and an action report is attached.
