THREATENED changes to Argyll and Bute Coucil wards which could have seen changes for Peninver and Tarbert have been dumped.
MSP Michael Russell welcomed the decision by the Scottish Government on Wednesday which will see the status quo remain.
A government spokesperson said: ‘In a small number of cases – Argyll and Bute, Dundee City and Scottish Borders – we have listened to local representations and left boundaries as they currently stand, to ensure that strong historic ties in particular areas and communities are maintained.’
