Before the Campbeltown Area Regeneration Scheme



After the Campbeltown Area Regeneration Scheme



After the Campbeltown "I'm a numpty" Scheme. Why isn't the book thrown at these people?

Noticed that the other day and thought may be the window panes were being replaced.

Not going to be very popular saying this but I think it's an exageration to call this shop front a regeneration.

Although it is an improvement it It's only a paint job and the sign altered. If the sandstone had been revealed then it could have rightly been called regenerated.

I agree with History - a coat of paint is hardly regeneration, just tidying up. I wonder how many forms they had to fill in to for that

Think you missed the point of the posting.

Got to agree with both of you (I know the issue is about the numpties in the town that broke the windows, thats Campbeltown for you, brilliant CCTV being used lol)

Back to the other point raised about the town regeneration.... It is a joke I suppose.... I wonder how many jobs this 'Scheme' created and how much CASH is being wasted on these 'Coat's of paint and new shop signs'

Anyone got any figures of the cash that has been blown on this ?

Is it really wasted if it gives the place a lift? Or would you prefer it as it was, dowdy and down at heel?

It depends on how much it is costing for each shop to be painted.

As an outsider moving to the area surely anything that improves the town should be praised, I have noticed there is so much criticism on this site about your own town and your own people. The future for Campbletown and Kintyre is SO exciting at the moment and you all have so much to look forward to.

I have been told that this attitude is know locally as 'West Coastitis' - just hope it's not catching!!

nah, this is standard for many Campbeltonians- if it's not one thing that's wrong it's something else. Based on some of the people posting on here I'd say they're happiest when the end of the world aka. Campbeltown is nigh (and i'm not refering just to this thread )

there's many things that could/can be improved in the toon- but to constantly belittle every single thing that happens (or in some cases BEFORE it even happens!) get's a bit boring to be honest.

or is it just me that finds that?

The point of the original post was missed, eh?

See some numpty panned in the hairdressers window at the bottom of the Big Kiln.
