Meetings were held in Skipness and Tarbert and the main issues continue to be housing, 20mph zones in both communities and opportunities for new commercial space. TSCT has recently purchased the old Fishermen's' Co-op in Tarbert with a view to renovation into eg. space for business start- ups, hot desking. TSCT has agreed large grant criteria for 10-20% of funding for projects over £100k. £40k has been granted to the Bowling Club as matched funding for the multi use games area (MUGA). Other projects in the pipeline are Skipness Village Hall and the playpark at the astroturf in Tarbert. Tarbert Against Coastal Litter (TACL) is a new TSCT project in partnership with Loughborough University investigating methods of surveying marine litter. Since August, 4 beach cleans have taken place, with 48 volunteers and 396kg of litter collected. Information collected will inform future research into marine litter.
