Argyll and Bute Council today agreed new funding to boost the availability of affordable housing in Helensburgh. The agreement builds on the council’s commitment to tackling the recently announced housing emergency across the area.
“It is absolutely vital to maintain momentum and ensure there is no question of unnecessary delay to a permanent solution for the A83. Our communities and businesses simply cannot endure more years of disruption that has already had a catastrophic impact on Argyll and Bute. ”
Creating a destination that attracts more visitors and offers the community additional facilities are just some of the comments received from community groups and young people at the recent Helensburgh Waterfront community engagement sessions.
Argyll and Bute Council is working with HOMEArgyll Housing Associations to help find solutions to the current housing emergency recently declared for the area.
Community woodlands, brass bands, arts, sports clubs and village halls are just some of the projects to benefit from Argyll and Bute Council’s Supporting Communities Fund.
Providing a safer route for walkers, cyclists and wheelers between Helensburgh and HMNB Clyde, as the first phase of the route to Garelochhead, is another step closer with new proposed plans unveiled.
Communities are invited to tell the council about their budget priorities by using an on-line budget calculator, now available on the council’s website.
