I'm Sharon, I'm a qualified Sports Therapist with over 20 years experience (gulp - am I really that old!!) I have a small business in Campbeltown- Ebb and Flow, where I offer Swedish Massage Deep Tissue Massage Reflexology and the Be Activated technique. To find out more and complete the survey please click East Kintyre Affordable Housing Project Survey. As part of this exercise, we would like to assess whether there is a need for more housing for young people/families/tradespeople in Carradale to support activities across the region and/or there is need for specialist or improved/more suitable housing for those of us who already live here and if so, what form of housing YOU think is needed. The results of the survey will help us to plan for the future. Since the population of East Kintyre is rapidly-ageing, with ~50% of the local population over the age of 60, and less than 15% of the population below the age of 25, the Community Council are exploring various measures to ensure Carradale, and surrounding area, thrives into the future as the community it is. Moreover, the growth of those businesses that survive across the region is tempered by difficulties to recruit and retain staff, and tradespeople must (more-often-than-not) be sourced from far away and there are dwindling amenities to attract & service tourists/visitors. bakery, pub, restaurants and hotels/guest houses) have either closed or their futures are uncertain. As you will be aware, over the past half-century the Carradale school register has dwindled from 50+ to its current tally of 13 pupils, fishing operations have shrunk (as elsewhere on the west coast), many family members have moved away from the area to find work etc. We all want Carradale, and the surrounding region, to remain a vibrant community that is a desirable and safe place to live.
