Storage

[kintyre forum news 4]

Would there be a niche market for self storage units in Kintyre. Are there any available at the moment for say the contents of a house to be stored long term?

Don't know of anywhere offhand but would certainly use the facility if it was available and not too expensive.

There is a consultation about this about to start and I will pass this info on to the person doing it

South Kintyre Development Trust (SKDT) has recently received funding from Investing in Ideas to carry out market research into the potential for setting up a community-run self storage facility in the South Kintyre Area.
I have been commissioned by SKDT to investigate the market for such a facility in the area.
There are currently no self storage facilities in the area, although the potential market could be quite significant.
I am currently looking at who would use such a facility as well as identifying possible sites for a refurbishment (of an existing building) or a new build in the area. I am in the process of designing a questionnaire for this Market Research.
This questionnaire is intended to determine the specific storage requirements of Individuals/ Businesses and Organisations in the South Kintyre Area. As soon as this is completed, I will post a link via the forum. In the meantime, if you need any more information or have any advice, please post a response and I will check on the forum regularly.

The nearest to us is Lochgilphead just out the Oban Road. There is a self storage facility there. I would prefer one local because of the transport costs.

Thanks Isa,

I was aware of ones in Oban and Dunoon but didn't know there was one in Lochgilphead. I will check this out.
