DELAYS are putting pressure on a plan to build 300 houses in Dunbeg – before a deadline to spend £35 million of Scottish Government funding expires, councillors heard last week, writes Sandy Neil.
With time running short to complete the project before 2021, the council ‘s planning committee is seeking an earlier ‘special ‘ hearing to decide the application in July during the recess.
Argyll and Bute Council was awarded £1.9 million from the Housing Infrastructure Fund last November to upgrade Kirk Road in Dunbeg, but ‘some slippage ‘ in ‘the award timeline ‘ ‘delayed engagement with the preferred contractor, utilities companies and the council ‘.
