One of the main reasons for the success of Campbeltown CARS has been the partnership approach which involves the council, funders, property owners and the community working together for the benefit of the town.
During the current tenement projects, staff from Housing Services have been working alongside the CARS Team to help owners form Owners’ Associations, set up bank accounts, go through claim and payment processes and secure the funding required to meet the cost of the work. Behind the scenes, there is additional support from council services, including Planning, Building Standards, Legal and Finance amongst others.
With up to 20 owners involved in some cases, this can be complex and time consuming for everyone involved.
