SHOPKEEPERS in Campbeltown took the lead by cleaning up and repainting their shop fronts and now the focal point of the town is to get the same treatment

After constant pressure over the past few years Argyll and Bute Council has finally agreed to put out a tender to paint, tidy and clean up the exterior of the building.

It is is used by a large number of local groups on Saturday morning for events such as coffee mornings and for the annual art exhibition.

Councillor Donald Kelly said: ‘I am delighted after much campaigning over the past two or three years that the council has finally agreed to put the painting and cleaning of the town hall out to tender.

This hall is the focal point of the town centre and it is very important that this work is carried out on the building.

The building is on the picture of the front page of the Campbeltown Story and is a focal point that people look at.

The initiative was taken by traders in the town to clean up their shop fronts and brighten up the town centre.’ This is in the short term, but Councillor Kelly is still campaigning to get it cleaned up inside as well and there is the intention of a regeneration project to get the interior refurbished.
