South Kintyre Self Storage facility

[SK Storage]

Is your work space being taken over by excess equipment & materials?

Is your loft or attic full of things which you would like to keep but are taking up lots of space?

Are you de-cluttering your home to put on the market?

Are you between properties?

Are you redecorating or redesigning your home?

Do you want to make the best use of the space you have?

Do you want to free-up the spare room, loft or valuable garage space?

The 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 Self Storage facility in the South Kintyre Area. SKDT have commissioned a local consultant to investigate the potential market for such a facility in the area.

The attached questionnaire is intended to determine the specific storage requirements of Individuals/ Businesses and Organisations in South Kintyre.

Completion of this questionnaire should take no more than 5 minutes and would be of great assistance in ensuring that any new community facility is viable and meets the needs of the local community.

Thanks again to all those who have already completed the survey. Early results from the questionnaire indicate that there is indeed a market for medium term domestic and long term goods and archive storage in the South Kintyre area. The information gathered will go a long way towards assisting the South Kintyre Development Trust in the development of this project. I intend to close the survey and finalise the results of the online survey by mid November. Could I please ask those of you who have not yet completed the survey to do so and to direct any local contacts to do likewise. It is a really short survey and should take no more than a couple of minutes to complete. The survey can be accessed by clicking on this link.

We are currently looking at a number of options of where to site the Self Storage facility. This includes disused buildings and vacant land in and around Campbeltown. Could I use this opportunity to ask anyone on the Forum to let me know if they have or know of any potentially suitable premises or land. Thank you all again for your support.

This Survey will be closed off on Friday 19th November 2010 in order to finalise the market research into the setting up of a community-owned Self Storage facility in Campbeltown. The responses so far have been varied but there is certainly a majority of people who would use such a facility. Thank you again to all those who have already completed the survey. If you would like to have your say with regard to this exciting project, please complete the survey by clicking this link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9BHSBWL

Did anything happen as a result of this?
I have a possible requirement for short-term storage (2-3 months) of furniture and some building materials during a renovation project.

MacMel - I'm quite sure units were built on the site of the former Jaeger factory following this. Anyone confirm????

Hi folks,

Sory for the late reply. The self storage survey was carried out on behalf of the South Kintyre Development Trust to identify the demand for storage facilities in this area. While the survey did show that many local people and businesses had a requirement for storage, the Trust decided to put this project on the back burner until they had identified suitable premises.
MK McLeods have started building units at the former Jaeger site although these are supposed to be used for small businesses. It would probably be a good idea to contact them directly to discuss. I am also aware that MACC are considering utilising one of their buildings for storage purposes, again I would suggest that you contact them directly.
I will make SKDT aware of your enquiries and establish whether they are still planning on completing this project.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
