Oban North Pier Pontoons
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the news that the Oban North Pier Pontoons and the Harbour Building have made a significant contribution to the local economy of Oban; understands that, after the new modern pontoon facilities opened in July 2017, they have generated significant additional tourism for Oban and the wider Lorn area; recognises a recent report showing that, at the end of 2019, 4,196 boat nights were recorded, with 17,326 extra visitors to Oban, and that this generated an additional tourist spend of £814,322; acknowledges the importance of such facilities for the long-term future of Oban, especially in the recovery from the current COVID-19 pandemic, and wishes the North Pier Pontoons continued success.
