The Oban Times' Invest in the West Campaign

Lodged by Donald Cameron Standard Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the launch of The Oban Times newspaper’s Invest in the West campaign; notes that the campaign is calling for greater investment from the Scottish Government into the infrastructure of communities across the west coast and islands; acknowledges what it sees as the multiple threats that are posed to towns and villages across the west coast and islands as a result of what it considers a lack of investment in transport, housing and infrastructure, such as depopulation, reduced tourist footfall and the closure of local businesses; believes that this campaign will shine a light on the impact that this reported crisis is having on people’s lives, and that it will give a voice to those who are most impacted, and wishes The Oban Times the best of luck with its campaign.
