The Kintyre Forum

Seeing as the topic of the Davaar Island Cave painting is getting so much attention (and quite rightly so - darn beggars! ) I wondered if you all felt the same way about the continual vandalism that Scottish Water has inflicted on our lovely wee toon over the last 4-5 years?

Why do we all accept the damage to our town a statutory body like Scottish Water has done? 99.9% of us sit back and let them get away with it! May add that we are not the only community in Argyll to suffer at their hands!

So how about it? Why not post your thoughts on the way they have left our roads, parks and Campbeltown Loch? The mess they have left outside our new Aqualibrium which will, by all accords, be left the way it is until early next year when apparently work to fix the mess they have left will start!

By the way I never posted the above (got an idea who did however ) but I would just like to echo the above sentiments.

I recently had someone moan to me about how no-one seems to care about the mess that has been left in Campbeltown since Scottish Water tried to "modernise" our sewerage system and the fact the work has to be done again and, no doubt, will leave a similar mess. I have to hold my hands up and say you are right.

.......why don't we get hot and bothered about this too?

I suppose I hope someone out there is trying to put it right and I, amongst others, take my hat off to the Task Force who are keeping pressure on Scottish Water.

Anyway, for what it is worth, I would like to echo the poster's original comments. Can we string them up too in Burnside Square?

Oops

Wrong thread Ranald, you should have posted it here.

Sometimes there are just too many vandalism threads.

We could try if they would come to Campbeltown again - they haven't been to one of our meetings for a while and have said they won't come again until October. I agree with everything the p says - I don't know why more of us don't complain about the mess that is always left behind by Scottish Water. What's more Campbeltown always used to enter the "Scotland in Bloom" competition until everyone got too demoralised by SW constantly digging up everything including the flower beds and leaving the mess for months on end. We should support the Council in entering this competition again next year and insist on some sort of liaison with SW over how they go about any future essential works.

I think that those of us who live around the meadowburn and witchburn areas are due some kind of compensation for the stench that we have to put up with every day. Some days its so bad my nose hair gets burned.
