ARGYLL and Bute MSP Michael Russell has described proposed changes to council wards in the region as ‘not fit for purpose’.
Mr Russell has written to the local government minister, Kevin Stewart, asking him not to implement the Local Government Boundary Commission recommendations for Argyll and Bute, published last week.
The published proposals would mean that Ardrishaig and Knapdale would move to Kintyre and the Islands ward, with Mid Argyll ward starting at Lochgilphead and extending north to Loch Awe village across to Kilninver and the Garvellachs.
