Support the A83 Campaign

The Argyll First group of councillors are leading a campaign to bring Argyll’s arterial road, the A83 up to standard.

They are concerned with:

• the lack of action to deal with closures through its susceptibility to landslides
• the ‘pinch points’ that exist at Inveraray and between Lochgilphead and Tarbert
• the lack of proper crossing points at the villages of Ardrishaig and Tarbert
• the trunking of the road between Kennacraig and Campbeltown

They are asking all residents of Argyll and Bute and all users of this road wherever they live to email support for this campaign.

The A83 affects the lives and businesses of almost every resident of and visitor to Argyll.
