Oban Times : Funding secures community ownership for Morvern Games group
Philip Coghill, development manager with Highlands and Islands Enterprise said: “MGGW have put in a huge amount of work to get the project to this stage, and it’s been a pleasure along with my now retired colleague John MacDonald to support the group in developing their plans to take this land into community ownership with money from the Scottish Land Fund. The project has huge potential and I look forward to seeing their plans come to fruition.”
The ideas from the community are endless for Knock Park and the surrounding areas.
It is time to give the residents and visitors to the area a real vision for the area.
James Hilder of An Roth Associates who published a feasibility study said “The Games Committee got a strong turnout and a very clear directive from the community so we have looked to see if the sums stack up. There is clearly a need for a much better building on the site and if combined with income generating opportunities like a gym, an aire for motorhomes and venue hire, then facilities for Lochaline could be transformed over the next five years.
