AN OBAN councillor said the town’s community council would be ‘better to consult Santa Claus’ than him about negotiations over the development of the former Argyll Hotel site.
The Esplanade hotel was demolished almost five years ago but its ‘state-of-the-art’ replacement has never been built.
Last month’s community council meeting was told council ofifcers had been in discussion with the developer to ensure there were no blocks to the project.
