Campbeltown Regeneration

[Golfmad]

I went down to the new course site on Saturday. They've finished (and seeded) three greens and built two fairways, the site seems to have been cleared of lots of debris, the irrigation sytem is in, they have water from boreholes, the guy onsite told me they will be building a green every five days through the summer and it should be playable next season! I spoke to the capt of the 'Kintyre express' who said the golf tour operators who he works with (who specialise in American and Swedish golfers) are all expecting massive interest in Kintyre because of the new course and the team building it.

Rabbits are plentiful out on the dunes it's true, but what measures are being taken to get the infestation dealt with? All the way to westport the dunes are ridden with rabbits!

Mind you from watching some of the swings whilst enjoyin my evening stroll you'd think some of the golfers were burrowing themselves!! Or by the way they putt, possibly a case of myximitosis.

Thought it would be good to start this thread.

Just curious to see what the people of Campbeltown think the town needs doing, if we can get salient points raised then maybe we can use this forum as a vehicle to put pressure on the Council and get things done!!??

First on my agenda would be parking facilities.
Then it would be unused shop owners made to paint the exterior of their buildings if in a bad state of disrepair!
Get the town hall back in respectable condition etc etc

Any other suggestions?

Perhaps good to get back to this original post.

I don't see how parking facilities should be first? What would that solve?

Also why not also ensure current shop owners paint their shops!

Was in today and must admit it is looking alot brighter and occupied than in a number of years. Shame there are still some shop owners who do not bother.

Good to see the town hall is being painted.

What is happening with the old library?
