Report by Executive Director – Customer Services.

The Committee considered a report which provided the submission of possible names for the council’s new offices at East Clyde Street, Helensburgh, from the local community.

Motion

The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Committee notes the contents of the report and the responses that were received by the Council as a result of the invitation to the public to propose names for the new Council building on East Clyde Street, Helensburgh.

The Area Committee notes that 43% of those submitting suggestions proposed that the building be called The Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre with the maximum support for any of the other 28 proposed names being only 3.9%.

The Area Committee therefore agrees to recommend to the Provost that the new building be named “The Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre”.

Moved by Councillor George Freeman, seconded by Councillor Ellen Morton.

Amendment

That the building be called “The Civic Centre”.

Moved by Councillor Richard Trail, seconded by Councillor James Robb.
