I was delighted to attend the latest Council administration meeting with my fellow Conservative Councillors.

I had the opportunity to discuss with our administration members the recent unacceptable lengthy disruptions to our internet service. I also made my views clear on the importance of keeping our public toilets on Islay open. All the more so if we are to keep and encourage growth in our important tourist industry.

I have raised the numerous and justifiable complaints about our local roads that I have been receiving from across my council ward. With our roads getting worse and worse a suitable long term solution is needed and that means large scale investment instead of piecemeal patchwork.

As ever the people of Argyll and Bute will be able to depend on our large cohort of hard working Conservative and Unionist Councillors to fight for our rural constituency.
