The minutes of the meeting of the Cowal Transport Forum held on Tuesday 18 June 2024 were approved as a correct record.

The Chair highlighted that since the last meeting of the Forum there has been several key developments including actions taken following the roundtable meeting with Calmac, Jenni Minto MSP, Community representatives and fellow councillors and that the focus was the development of the new Calmac timetable. The Chair advised that in August he had chaired a meeting with Calmac and community representatives to review the proposals and it was confirmed that they were moving forward with option 3a which would provide reduced peak period waiting times whilst maintaining a consistent service throughout the day. The Chair commented that the next stage would be to align the ferry timetable to ensure bus connectivity thereby creating a much improved integrated transport system.

The Chair highlighted the successful operation during the recent Cowal Gathering with Western Ferries providing a reliable service during the busy period and the Chair commended them on this.
