Scottish Water Sewerage Options

[John S]

Jeanette,

If you cannot make it along on the 28th, please PM them to me and I will raise them for you, if you like. But I would expect that the focus of questions on the night to be aimed at interrogating the proposals of Scottish Water.

How many people do you know that are affected in this way?

At the risk of sounding regressive, There are still people affected by Scottish Water's actions on this side of the town and their reluctance to listen as is proved by the case above. I don't know who else got these letters in the last week. I would imagine there would be more but I don't know

Hi John,

For the avoidance of doubt, does your poll mean that if someone votes for the "Loch" option, does that mean they would rather the effluent flowed through the streets of Campbeltown ?

The reason I ask this precise question is that we own several buildings in Longrow and Bolgam Street, and have been subject to extensive dialogue with Scottish Water. The officials indicated to us that if it is a choice between flooding the streets or the loch, then they will do the latter.

Whilst it is certainly not a good thing to flood the Loch, I would be mildly appalled if the Loch was preserved and the town streets flooded.

You would also find pretty quickly that those in charge of starting up businesses and keeping them going, would emphasise what a dire straight the town was in when the Big Vic meetings were going on in 1999. Anyone who remembers 25% of the town's shops laying closed, and near derelict looking in 1999 surely wouldn't want a return to those bad old days?

Regards,

Russ.

Hi Russ,

None of the options are advocating this, ultimately when the system fails to cope with the volume of untreated sewage, that untreated sewage has to go somewhere other than the street - into the loch as at present (first option) or into the sea outside the enclosure of the loch (second option)

But are we satisfied with a state of the art system that fails to cope with the volume of effluent? If the answers no then its third option.

I have ben contacted by the lady who received the letter from the Sherrif's Officer and have invited her to attend the meeting on Thursday. I will make sure that the representatives of Scottish Water are aware of her predicament and will ask them to meet with her at the end of the meeting. If anyone else is in the same boat, could they please let either myself or Charles Murphy know prior to the meeting?
