Perhaps slightly digressing but when you look at the Council's vacancy website

https://www.abcvms.info/index.html

you can't help but notice the huge difference in number of jobs, quality jobs and more importantly salaries between Campbeltown and Lochgilphead.

There are 6 jobs in Lochgilphead potentially amounting to £192,181 in wages
Opposed to 3 jobs in Campbeltown potentially amounting to £47,653 in wages

So there is TWICE as many jobs in Lochgilpead earning FOUR times the amount in wages.

Did the break up of Stratchclyde Regional Council really bring services, jobs and salaries closer to the people of Argyll & Bute or did it only serve to help build the walls of Council at Kilmory?

Word documents are a great way to spread macro viruses. Why don't they use PDFs like everyone else with an ounce of common sense?
