Proud of Campbeltown?

[Lochside]

I cringe each time I walk past the new swimming pool site!! Lovely new pool/recreation centre and library, and the surrounding grounds an absolute MESS!! Which amateur was responsible for levelling the grassed area? Trees sitting in a swamp!! Did no one think to drain it? Instead of trees, a bog garden would have been more appropriate!! What an advert for Campbeltown workmanship!! Due to much organisation by the Barbour boys and their committee we will have many visitors tomorrow participating in the Half/marathon, 10k walk/run. Coach tours visit each week, work on the new golf course is due to begin soon bringing more people to the town. Is this botched job the image we want them to carry with them as they drive back up the A83?

This was raised at the Sports Council meeting on Monday evening. The response the Council gave was the maintenance of the building and grounds are in the hands of the architect for 12 months and it was suggested the 12 months should be given to see if things improve!

Both Councillor Colville and McKinlay were there and both raised concerns at the reinstatement.
