NEW DEVELOPMENT TRUST

On Tuesday the 24th of June, members of the Campbeltown Area Development Group, community representatives, business entrepreneurs and residents met to set up a development trust in South Kintyre.

In the aftermath of the withdrawal of funding for the regeneration of services in the previously designated Campbeltown area of deprivation, and the extension to include the remaining areas of the town and the hinterland as far north as Carradale and Tayinloan, consideration was given to establishing new funding avenues for a range of much needed facilities.

Decisions were made to consider previously prepared memoranda and articles of association for a South Kintyre Development Trust as a ‘company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital’ under the Companies Act 1985.
A second meeting was called for Tuesday 8th July at which directors will be appointed, priorities established and a formal registration request will be prepared. Those interested in assisting the aims of the Trust are advised, in the first instance, to contact Felicity Kelly at the Area Community Education Office, Manse Brae, Lochgilphead. Tel: 01546 604750.
