Campbeltown CC Report for MAKI Community Events Campbeltown CC, in partnership South Kintyre Development Trust, Inspiralba and Architecture & Design Scotland Climate Action towns are organising two Community Events in February. Event 1 Screening of ‘The Oil Machine’. 2nd Feb 6pm, Campbeltown Picture House. How can we break our addiction to oil? There will be a screening of the new film The Oil Machine on 2nd February at Campbeltown Picture House to initiate a conversation on our energy future. The Oil Machine explores our economic historical and emotional entanglement with fossil fuels by looking at the conflicting imperatives around North Sea oil & gas. This invisible machine at the core of our economy and society now faces an uncertain future as activists and investors demand change. Is this the end of oil? Free entry, hot drinks for all, will be provided. Everyone welcome. Event 2 ‘Winter’ Fayre 7th Feb 2-7pm, SKDT Hall, Campbeltown. To kick off 2023 South Kintyre Development Trust in partnership with Inspiralba and Campbeltown Community Council are hosting this ‘Winter’ Fayre to launch the opening of the recently refurbished and upgraded SKDT Hall as a Community Drop-in (warm hub). Members of ALI Energy, Architecture & Design Scotland Climate Action Towns, Kintyre Weigh, Kintyre Recycling, Argyll & Bute Council will be on hand to offer a range of activities, information, and advice. The event is free to attend and will be an informal drop in style fayre with opportunities to find out information and ask questions over a cuppa and sweet treats. There will also be an opportunity to enter a draw with a variety of prizes up for grabs including vouchers for Kintyre Weigh, E-Bike Hire vouchers and a Cosy Kit. Roads “Campbeltown CC is concerned at the state of the road surface on the Esplanade and request that it is included in next year’s road budget.” This was copied from the March 2020 MAKI report and still the Esplanade has not been resurfaced. The potholes are getting bigger and bigger. Burnbank Street is also in great need of repair.
