🚢 Dunoon Community Council Ferry Survey – Have Your Say 🚢

Dunoon Community Council wants to hear your views on the future of the CalMac ferry service.

As we approach the end of the current four-year term and prepare for Community Council elections on 20 August 2026, we want to understand what direction local residents would like the new Community Council to take regarding ferry services.

The ferry is a vital transport link for many people in Dunoon and the wider Cowal area. We know there are a number of potential options for the future—some more realistic than others—and we want your views on how we should proceed.

📝 Complete the survey online using the link below:

🏡 SUPPORT DUNOON FOODBANK & COMMUNITY HUB 🏡
Help Secure a Permanent Future for Local Community Support

Dunoon Foodbank & Community Hub is applying for a Community Asset Transfer (CAT) to take ownership of our building at 22 Kirk Street, Dunoon.

This is an important opportunity to secure the long-term future of the foodbank and protect the building as a permanent community resource for Dunoon and Cowal.

By taking ownership of the building, we will be able to:
✅ Safeguard vital foodbank services for the future
✅ Improve and expand community support services
✅ Create a stronger, more sustainable community hub
✅ Ensure the building remains in local community use

We need to demonstrate to Argyll & Bute Council that the local community supports this project — and that means support from the wider community, not just people who use the foodbank.

📋 Please take a moment to complete our short support form:
https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAANAAfuGoFBUOU05U1JFNUNNR1NDVllZUjlDOTFTVUROTy4u

📝 Paper copies are also available from:
• Dunoon Foodbank & Community Hub
• Dunoon Jobcentre Plus

📍 Please only complete the form if you live in Dunoon or the Cowal area.

Every response matters and will help show that this is a valued and much-needed community asset.

Please share this post with friends, family and local groups to help spread the word. 💚
