The multi-million pound CHORD (Campbeltown, Helensburgh, Oban, Rothesay and Dunoon) initiative will see major improvements to the town centres and waterfronts of all five towns. Argyll and Bute Councillors have now agreed the next steps for the projects after considering their Project Initiation Documents (PIDs) at a meeting of the Executive Committee.
The PIDs are the baseline upon which the future development of each project is managed and monitored. Their agreement means that Project Boards in each area now have an agreed blueprint in terms of activities and actions required, as well as the timescales of various key milestones. In November last year, the Council unanimously agreed to allocate more than £30 million to the project.
Rothesay - deliver a Townscape Heritage Initiative for the Rothesay Town Centre Conservation area, and renovate and improve Rothesay Pavilion (£2.4million).
Key agreed target dates for the project in Rothesay:
- Townscape Heritage Initiative - Appoint Project Officer Autumn 2009, submit Stage 2 bid to Heritage Lottery Fund by April 2010.
- Rothesay Pavilion - Appoint Design Team Autumn 2009, Obtain listed building planning consent by autumn 2010, anticipated completion Spring 2013.
