Work will begin next month to restore the fifth building to benefit from the Lochgilphead Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS).

Four ambitious coastal community projects across ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº are in line to benefit from new Scottish Crown Estate funding.

Investment plans for a range of community activities across ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº as part of the final year of the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) have been approved by councillors.

Thousands of households have already benefitted from the ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº Flexible Food and Fuel Fund (FFFF) and now, due to its success, councillors have agreed to extend the scheme until March 2026.

Five key infrastructure and community projects have been identified for potential funding via the UK Government's Community Regeneration Partnership Funding (CRP) initiative.

World Gaelic Week starts on Monday 24 February and many schools, community groups, and businesses across ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº will be getting involved.

Are you aware of current and proposed community projects where you live and across ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº? ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº Council is asking communities to take part in a short poll to understand the current level of awareness with community projects. Feedback will help inform a new resource for community groups and organisations.

Staff and children are celebrating at Apple Tree Nursery, Rothesay as they become the first nursery in ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº, and only the third in Scotland, to receive a prestigious Gold from UNICEF UK’s Rights Respecting School programme.

ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº Council’s Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) Pilot Project for the Lorn Arc Area has been extended by 10 years, allowing additional time to implement key infrastructure and development investments that will help to create a significant economic boost to the wider Oban area.

A visitor levy involves everyone, so the council is hosting a series of drop-in events and online information webinars to help people in ÄÛ²ÝÓ°Ôº find out more and get involved in assessing one for the area.
