I think the point was not "health and safety" but that if anything had gone wrong the road would have been blocked again adding further delay to getting essential fuel , equipment and food supplies down to where it was needed. Priority had to be given to those essential vehicles above private journeys.

What follows is petty but starting to annoy me. ......... I feel for you folks in Kintyre with the problems that have occured over the last week. But as an exiled Wee Toon Boy, I am sick and tired of hearing how terrible it was for Arran. I accept it was bad on Arran, but the National news never mentioned Campbeltown at all, and there was as many homes/people without power on the peninsula as there was on Arran. In reality there were more homes without power in Kintyre than there were on Arran, but because it was easier forthe reporters to get to Arran, that was the story of the day(s). I think that this highlights the problem with getting the message across nationally from the local area - my opinion

The A83 at Clachan was closed from Friday to Monday so the journalists couldnt have got here if they wanted to!

- there was a piece on STV which featured Campbeltown, but aye your right-
a relative of ours checked up on me because we live near Arran which she had seen on the (BBC) news

I was amazed to see a man on Arran being interviewed on the news the other day, complaining that not enough was being done! Some folk are never satisfied.
