Interesting to see that Argyll & Bute Council has been forced to serve a planning order on the old McGrory's shop on the Main Street. There has been no signage on this building since June 2008!

IF anyone is any doubt that the Council has NOT been holding this process up please logon to the Council Planning Website below and seach for application 09/00296/LIB. Shows that planning and listed building consent was granted away last year.

NOT Scotbet`s fault that the permanent sign hasn`t been erected - as I understand it, it`s been due to incompetence from higher places - you know who you are!

And to add to that, there was some kind of filming crew about the town streets and harbour area.

Yeah I saw the signage was started as well yesterday hopefully brighten up that area!

The film crews were about for Machrihanish Dunes, doing a promotional video for its website, they visited the distillery and were meant to be heading on the mull of kintyre sea tours when I spoke to them.

After so many comments about the signage of the Scotbet shop, I am really surprised that nobody has mentioned the beautiful new sign that is there now! I think the boys have done a fantastic job and it really enhances the Main Street. I have no idea of the reasons for it taking so long, but after a week of it being completed I think it deserves a mention.
Apologies if it has been raised under an unrelated topic btw!

That's true Katya it does look really nice now certainly brightens up that corner.
I see the KYES signage and kintyre property has been done as well!
