Argyll and Bute Council launches consultation on Tarbert to Kennacraig active travel plans
Reading time: 2 minutes
Argyll and Bute Council is inviting people to have their say on a proposed walking and cycling route that will link the ferry terminals at Tarbert and Kennacraig, making it safer and easier for more people to choose to walk and cycle to nearby services and facilities.
The council is seeking feedback from the local communities concerned and, with support from HITRANS and Transport Scotland, is hosting the first public drop-in consultation event to understand travel demand for the route.
The drop-in event is at The Templar Arts and Leisure Centre, Harbour Street, Tarbert, from 4pm to 8pm on Tuesday 10 September, to which everyone is invited. This event follows the team’s earlier visit in June.
The council’s policy lead for roads, transport and amenity services, Councillor John Armour, said: “The proposed link between Tarbert and Kennacraig builds on the council’s ongoing development of walking and cycling routes in the area.
“The project demonstrates the council’s commitment to improving rural communities’ resilience by improving accessibility for everyone and addressing the challenges of climate change through sustainable travel options. I would urge everyone affected to go along to this event so we can identify their needs to help shape our walking and cycling travel routes.”
The Scottish Government has funded the first feasibility stage of the project via the Places for Everyone Programme, administered by Sustrans.
