Issue - meetings

Councillor Semple advised that the Ferry Sub group were meeting later in the day and the initial ethos and rationale of the group would be to discuss the possibility of maximising the existing timetable and also endeavour to increase marketing and linkages. The Ferry Sub-group would provide updates to KIWG.

Discussion was held in regards the formation of the Sub-group for the new Ferry Service.  Councillor Semple stated that it would be necessary for the group to ensure that they addressed any issues arising from both existing ferry routes and any future ferry routes planned for the local area.

The Chair invited nominations from the KIWG and the following group members were nominated:-

Councillor Anne Horn, Councillor John Semple and Jim Martin.  It was agreed that contact would be made with local Community Councils and Hoteliers in the area with a view to representation from these groups also sitting on the Sub-group.

The group agreed that the Terms of Reference and objectives would be agreed at the Sub-group's initial meeting in conjunction with Argyll and Bute Council.
