Tarbert and Skipness Community Trust Update
Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Area Community Planning Group – 31/01/24 
Tarbert & Skipness Community Trust held a successful AGM on 22nd November 2023.   Two new
directors were nominated and approved at the meeting.
The Trust is delighted that commitment to build 30 houses has been reiterated in the new Strategic
Housing Investment Plan even though timing has slipped by a year.   This will begin to address the
housing situation in Tarbert.
The Trust has just approved criteria for larger community benefit funds,   Funding allowing, these
grants aim to bridge the 10-20% required as matched funding for projects over £100k that are in line
with TSCT aims and address issues raised in the Tarbert & Skipness Community Plan 2023-26.   The
Trust is in discussion with 2 projects that fit the criteria for these grants.
Tarbert & Skipness Community Council councillor has contacted the Trust with concern over the
accident black spot near Tarbert water treatment works.   Two fatalities have occurred here in the
last 2 years and at least 8 reports of minor accidents at the same spot.   Other accidents or near
misses may have occurred but not come to the attention of the Fire Service or Police.   
TSCC councillor is concerned that there is a problem on this stretch of the road that really needs to
be further investigated.
