. . . . is the aim of local people who are passionate about Oban and who believe that the town could be an even more attractive place for residents and visitors alike. We intend to support the on-going community involvement in beautifying Oban in various ways, whether by encouraging residents to protect and plant trees, helping to look after community gardens and flower beds, clearing litter from our streets and beaches and most importantly, getting together with like-minded members of our community. Together we can make a difference!
