Community Council, asked the Committee the following questions:
The Area Committee agreed to request an update from the Integration
Joint Board on existing and future arrangements for social care within Bute and
Cowal.
This question was put to the Head of Roads and Amenity services by the
Area Committee on behalf of Dunoon Community Council.
He responded that due to budget constraints the service had to prioritise
repairs on a needs basis. He also emphasised that safety inspections are
regularly carried out and quarterly multi agency liaison meetings take place to
allow for joint working wherever possible.

not amenity groundsman posts.

the resources available for phase two of the Dunoon
Pier refurbishment and that this would be provided to Mr Lynch.
