Oban Lorn and The Isles Conference, 'Forward Together' – 15th May 2010
Hi there
I've
just come back from a Community Consultation event at Oban High School
fthat brought together 60 individuals attending out of their own
personal interest but also representing various community groups, the
Council and public institutions. The purpose was to find out what local
services are needed in the Oban, Lorn and the Isles area, and how the
ever scarcer funding is to be allocated.
You may have seen the article announcing it in the Oban Times (6 May, p. 2).
Participants were given the opportunity to explore ideas in four different workshops:
i) Health & Wellbeing
ii) Transport
iii) Economic & Community Development
iv) Local Development (rural/island 'hubs'; Oban town centre)
In the final part, there was voting on two top priorities in each of the four thematic areas.
