Question
To ask the Scottish Executive what priority is being given to the maintenance and upgrading of Dunoon Pier as part of an integrated ferry transport policy.
Answer
Dunoon Pier is owned by Argyll and Bute Council and its maintenance and upgrading is a matter for the Council. However, the Government has made allowances for Argyll and Bute's special needs in respect of piers and harbours generally, by providing additional resources to the council through a special needs allowance through the non-housing capital allocation formula.
