What is Opportunity Kintyre?

Any job opportunities???

Opportunity Kintyre is a community based enterprise project which has been funded mainly by the Scottish Executive but also by money and pledges from within the community. It is a pilot project - one of only 3 in Scotland. There are no direct job opportunities but the project has just employed a facilitator who will start work in the community of Kintyre from March. It is anticipated that a number of new business start-ups or expansions will result from this project in the first year and in subsequent years the project should begin to make a real difference to the sustainable prosperity of Kintyre.

It sounds as if there is a bit of money about then Mary - why low profile then? How does the public find out more?

Excellent MySpace site - CD is really good. Bought one the last day there. I love the opening lines to Campbeltown Loch (for all the wrong reasons I might add!) - Les sent me the opening words but I can't find them but you'll hear them anyway. Perhaps the Taskforce could have the song as part of their campaign! Scottish Water are you listening!
