Glenfinart Walled Garden: Presentation of proposals to further develop garden

GOPR1010-5-1Over the past few months Ardentinny Community Trust has been working on plans to transform Glenfinart Walled Garden into a venue that can be used by all members of the community as well as attracting tourists to the area thereby enhancing the tourism offer on the Cowal Peninsula.

The appointed independent consultants (the Venturei Network) assigned to assist the Trust in this process have produced a report setting out how the Walled Garden will be developed over the medium to long term.

The Ardentinny Community Trust believes community groups and organisations, in addition to tourist, recreational, hospitality, and educational providers across the Cowal Peninsula, should be involved in the project to ensure the long-term sustainability of both the Garden and the Region. Therefore, the Venturei Network is holding an event which will present the outputs of the report and provide an opportunity for connections to be made between the Trust and these organisations to move the project forward.

This event will take place in:

The Younger Hall, Kilmun on Wednesday 4th February 2015  between 7pm – 9pm.

All community groups and organisations as well as tourist, recreational, hospitality and educational providers on the Cowal Peninsula are encouraged to attend this event

Seismic shudders shake Ardentinny


Smoke rises after the controlled explosion

Yesterday, 17 December 2014, Ardentinny was again submitted to a series of explosive blasts, varying in intensity, originating from RNAD Coulport.

On this occasion the village was forewarned, in contrast to the stream of explosions which occurred in March of this year. However, a forewarning of ‘explosions due to work between the hours of 10.00 and 16.00 hours’ neither gives a reason nor protects against properties experiencing seismic shudders nor people and animals, shock and distress.

A call to RNAD Coulport to register a formal complaint resulted in the advice to do so in writing to Commodore Naval Box C, HMNB Clyde, Helensburgh, G84 8HL.

Ardentinny Community Action Plan Steering Group formed

A meeting was held on Friday 12th December to set up a steering group to produce an Action Plan for Ardentinny. The meeting was chaired by David Mackenzie, National Park, and present were representatives from the Art Club, the Badminton Group, the Bowling Club, the Community Council, the Community Trust, the SWRI and the Village Hall Committee. A representative from the Church was unable to attend but hopes to come to future meetings. A steering group was set up to take the plan forward.

It is hoped that all the community will take the opportunity to have their say about various matters concerning the village. A written survey will be issued to all households in Ardentinny in January, and Ceci Alderton will conduct interviews with stakeholders. Villagers will be contacted to ask if they are willing to be interviewed. All information and suggestions will be collated and there will be a community workshop to be held in Ardentinny Hall on Saturday 21st March 1-3.
