COMMUNITY campaigners fighting to save Glen Iosal sheltered housing on the Isle of Mull are celebrating after major changes to the controversial plans announced three months ago were agreed, writes Louise Glen.
MSP Michael Russell and Councillor Mary Jean Devon have described the outcome of their meeting with Trust Housing and the Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership as a ‘victory’ for common sense and the local campaign.
Mr Russell and Councillor Devon met Rhona McLeod of Trust Housing and Christina West of the partnership in Edinburgh on Tuesday August 29 to discuss proposals that would have resulted in warden provision being cut from 35 to 25 hours at Glen Iosal in Tobermory.
