PUBLIC protest has prompted councillors to look again at plans to reduce grass cutting in Mid Argyll.
As part of a series of cost-cutting measures – known as Service Choices – last year aimed at closing a (then) £10 million funding gap, the council decided to reduce its grass-cutting ser vices in some areas and stop it completely in others. In taking these steps, councillors hoped to save £18,000 from the budget.
