Campbeltown CC Report for MAKI 
The CC’s charitable organization, Campbeltown Community Windfarm Fund has
disbursed approximately £47,000 to 17 local organisations and social
enterprises in line with the priorities identified in our Action Plan. 
The disabled swing and the access for wheelchair users at Jock’s Boat playpark
are now complete. 
While the workers have made a good job of repairing the sea defences at the
Esplanade.  It is only 80% completed.  There are still areas in need of repair and
still at least 3 holes in the sea wall. 
Town Centre traffic – the CC have agreed that the current traffic management
system along Longrow and Burnbank Street is not working and propose one way
system for whole length of Longrow, stopping flow of traffic down Burnbank.
The CC has also identified a need to look at one-way roads in the housing scheme
at Ralston Rd, Crosshill Ave and Meadows Ave. 
We are still awaiting the resurfacing of the Esplanade. 
The CC is worried about the continued deterioration of the two empty buildings
in the Main Street, namely the White Hart Hotel and the Old Post Office Building. 
These are both infested with pigeons and are becoming a health hazard and a
danger to the public. 
The SUStrans sculpture at the new quay has been surrounded by wire fencing for
some time now.  When will this be removed? 
The CC would like to know more about the proposed pier extension,
