Report by Executive Director with responsibility for Roads and Infrastructure Services

The Committee gave consideration to a report which provided a short update on the works which had been carried out to identify a suitable site for building a new cemetery for Kintyre.

Decision

The Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Area Committee:

1.    noted the remaining availability at Kilkerran Cemetery, which officers estimate will be less than 8 years;

2.    noted the proposed cemetery development adjacent to the current Kilkerran Cemetery, the positive discussions with the land owner, and the rejection by the Kings Harbour Master and the MOD; and

3.    agreed to write to the MOD to support officers’ attempts to purchase the land which will benefit the local residents and Kintyre communities.
