COMMUNITIES are to have a say in how an Argyll and Bute Council fund is spent.
Residents will be able to decide how the Supporting Communities Fund – which this year gave out £112,000 – is dispersed. The fund is split equally between the four area committee areas – Oban, Lorn and the Isles, Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands, Helensburgh and Lomond, and Bute and Cowal – with the committees deciding which projects are funded. The council has been given Scottish Government funding to support this project with the Supporting Communities Fund.
