Bright news for Oban

As if to compensate for a tough winter, Argyll and Bute looks forward to big improvements in Oban this year. A massive regeneration programme is designed to start soon, with major improvements to the bay and harbour area and new pontoons at the North Pier that will cater for cruise ship tenders. Drivers will be glad to hear that traffic should move more easily through the town, as the upgrading will get rid of some of its ‘pinch’ points and provide better parking and easier access to the ferry.
