Minutes:
The Committee gave consideration to a report which highlighted that the Council had received a request from Transport Scotland for one representative from Argyll and
Bute Council to sit on the Gourock - Dunoon Infrastructure and Vessels Project -
Reference Group.
Decision
The Bute and Cowal Area Committee;
1. agreed to appoint Councillor Alan Reid as the Council representative on the Gourock – Dunoon Infrastructure and Vessels Project - Reference Group;
2. noted that Transport Scotland had decided that participation in the Gourock – Dunoon Infrastructure and Vessels Project - Reference Group was conditional on accepting that meetings are confidential. The Committee believes that proper consultation can only take place on a transparent basis; and
3. agreed to write to Transport Scotland calling on them, in the interests of transparency, to remove the confidentiality condition on meetings of the Gourock – Dunoon Infrastructure and Vessels Project - Reference Group except for information which is restricted due to provisions contained within the Local Government Act (Scotland) 1973.
