Your Weekly news Friday 19th December 2025
Hi All,
Here is the weekly news from the Community Council and the Village Hall. This will be last one until 9th January 2026, so the Community Council would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy and Healthy 2026.
Ardentinny Community Council News
Roads Info from Argyll and Bute Council
Just an update on what we have asked the Roads department to address recently.
Apparently, they have fixed the flooding problem at the Church Car Park toilets, I have not seen the outcome yet, so if anyone still sees flooding that prevents people getting to the toilets (without wellies!) then take a picture and send it to our email address and we will follow up. ardentinnycc@gmail.com
The clogged up roadside drains throughout the village have been reported to the Council, who plan to clear them by mid-January.
We are regularly asking for potholes to be repaired, but it does help if as many people report it on the Council website, as it does make them respond quicker. Just click on “Report It” on the main page of the A&BC website.
Road to Beach – Pothole Repairs
We have requested Forestry and Land Scotland (who own the road) to fill in the potholes on the road from the Village Hall up to the beach car park.
Watch out for Scams
We received a link from Trading Standards Scotland that details an A-Z of scams that are doing the rounds, hope you find this useful – A to Z of Scams
National Park News
Here is a link to the National Park December Bulletin that we received.
What’s on Dunoon
For your information here is a link to the webpage which shows What’s on around Dunoon.

Village Hall Upgrades
An update on the front of stage insulation which is now completed, just needs painting.
The Carpet bowls equipment is now stored to the right and the steps have been modified on the left, to slide under the stage when the badminton group is playing. We are sure they will be pleased that they no longer have to lift the steps on the stage!
Rob Dain, who has been doing the refurbishment for us, has also supplied a splash back for the cooker in the kitchen so as soon as we can get an electrician to wire up the new cooker, it will be good to go!
A little note for the smokers who use the hall.
A small ash tray has been placed by the front door for those going out of the hall to smoke.
Please use this rather than dropping cigarette ends on the ground outside the hall. It is hoped to add a larger box on the wall outside in the near future for this purpose also.
Please keep our village tidy.
