CGDTThe Development Trust has begun its rental of space in the Colintraive Village hall today! A great step forward. We now have to wait for BT to get their act together and install the new line and broadband connection. Tsk!
On our other premises at the Glendaruel Village Hall, we’re presently awaiting the result of some survey work to allow us to plan how the shared space will work. More on this soon.
A red letter day for the communities of Colintraive and Glendaruel: the application for the Community Right to Buy on the Glendaruel Hotel has been sent in to the Community Assets Branch in Edinburgh. This should be received on Monday (weather permitting) and the process of informing the owners of the application will begin.
This is the first step in a long process to acquisition, and if all goes well with this stage, the working group’s next task will be to sketch out the basis for the business plan. No small task of course, but if the enthusiasm, good will and expertise which was brought to bear on the application is applied to this document, then there is no doubt that what is presented to the community for its consideration will be thorough-going and compelling.
