Future uses for a piece of land at Oban’s popular beach Ganavan were discussed at a public meeting.
Oban Community Council called the meeting after residents expressed concerns about Argyll and Bute Council plans to lease the public toilets and an area of land there.
Roddy McCuish, Lead Councillor for Oban Lorn and the Isles, said: “I certainly welcomed the meeting because there were too many rumours going around and too much speculation.
“I think the majority of people realised the council want to simply lease an area of land to make the best of it for the benefit of the community.
“At this time it is only out for lease. When the planning application goes in everybody will have the opportunity to welcome or object to this application.
“I am hoping that we will see a proposal for a restaurant or cafe, perhaps to include changing rooms and showers for the shinty pitch nearby.”
The meeting took place in Oban’s Phoenix Cinema on Monday night.
