OBAN’S new parking charges have been delayed until Argyll and Bute Council puts up signs.
Councillor Roddy McCuish, policy lead for roads, told Oban Community Council on Monday: ‘We are way behind. The machines are in. They are still covered. They have been white lined.’
The changes were due to come into force in March, the meeting heard. Exasperated community councillor Stewart McIver, an organiser of next week’s Highlands and Islands Music and Dance Festival, said: ‘There was nothing to say it wasn’t happening. I am trying to keep our website updated to tell visitors where to park.’
