Campbeltown Community Council – Update 
National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain 
Congratulations to Campbeltown Brass Band on becoming National Champions for their
section at the recent Championships held in Cheltenham.  Campbeltown Community
Windfarm Fund, the charitable arm of the Community Council, was happy to provide funds
to enable them to travel to Cheltenham. 
Flood Prevention Scheme
CCC happy to see the works underway.   
Town Centre Traffic Management 
Local residents have expressed concern re car/van/commercial vehicles parking on Burnbank
St, making pedestrian footpaths inaccessible, causing them to walk on the road. There was
unanimous agreement that this situation, as has parking in other areas, has worsened since the
introduction of the new traffic management system.   
Esplanade
Still awaiting the resurfacing of this roadway – supposed to be at the back end of the year? 
Lack of dental health care
There is now only one part time dentist delivering services in Campbeltown for NHS
registered patients. Patients advised they can get appointments in sister practice in
Lochgilphead. Unsatisfactory, but problem is shortage of dentists.
