I was delighted to be given the opportunity to serve Argyll and Bute in my new position as Policy Lead for Economic Growth at the most recent council meeting.

There is little doubt that Argyll and Bute's growing and dynamic economy is a success story but that success can bring many challenges and I will do all that I can from my new role on our council administration.

It's great to work shoulder to shoulder with our local team of Conservative Councillors fighting hard for their constituents in every single corner of Argyll and Bute day in and day out.

Cllr Alastair Redman
