News Snippet
Originally we were going to have a few different community meetings to explain our progress, show you the possibility, and gain your feedback. However in this time of isolation we have had to adapt and do this online.
By following the link you will find an explanation of our findings so far, and have a chance to feedback your thoughts.
There is a six minute video that takes you on a journey through the possible adapted building.
please go to out micro website for more detailed information
Covid19: Dunadd Community Council Response
The community council is developing its response to the current situation and has coordinators in different areas. We are looking for volunteers who can deliver shopping, pick up prescriptions, chat over the phone, etc .
We are also trying to identify people who are self isolating and need help. As you will be aware it is difficult to be confident everyone has got the message in an isolated rural area, so we ask that you share this with neighbours, friends, etc. This way we hope to get a message to everyone.
we ask all people who are volunteering to take heed of this information from Argyll and Bute Council

Community Transport Project
The 3 villages of Kilmelford, Ardfern and Kilmartin have come together to look at [the viability of] a shared Community Transport project. The project is called the A816 but also included other settlements and villages within the immediate area.
This is intended to support anyone with transport issues to be able to access services in the towns that they might not be able to right now.
This could include sports and other extracurricular activities in Lochgilphead and Oban, and may even assist students and people looking for their first jobs.
How can you help?
We presently have a questionnaire to help shape and gauge the response to the project, you can help us by filling this out. A816 Project Form
