Argyll and Bute Council has quashed suggestions that it is using Campbeltown as a ‘dumping ground’ for homeless people.
A ‘very concerned’ Campbeltown resident contacted the Courier after noticing that the only telephone number on the council website’s ‘contact us’ section with a Campbeltown area code is the one attributed to ‘homelessness’.
There are 19 landline telephone numbers listed, dealing with everything from benefits, pest control and planning to council tax, roads and social care, and all the rest have a Mid Argyll 01546 code.
