Repairs work is set to go ahead on three Dunoon buildings courtesy of a £847,507 grant.

Bute and Cowal Area Committee approved grants for repairs to properties on Argyll Street as part of the Dunoon Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS). This will see three tenement buildings significantly repaired to safeguard the historic properties and enhance the look and feel of Dunoon's main shopping street.

Councillor Alastair Redman, Policy Lead for Economic Growth, said: "I'm pleased that this funding has been approved and that three important buildings in Dunoon's main shopping area can now be repaired and have their future safeguarded. I look forward to seeing the result of the work once it is completed."

Dunoon CARS is a partnership regeneration project between Argyll and Bute Council and Historic Environment Scotland (HES). It is being delivered with a £1.5m funding package over a five-year period, and will conclude on 31 March 2022.
