That Bridge

My thoughts about that bridge brought a few comments. Here is a few more ramblings about the bridge.
If they "fill in the gap" at Colintraive, where would we go? The road from there leads to Argyll and Oban etc etc OR a long journey to Glasgow etc. What good would that be to commuters etc? Also if you dont have a car what could you do?
If there was a bridge, I feel ( my opinion only) that this would compromise the ferry service to WB.
I love being on an island and am against a bridge.
As for the harbour. What a long drawn out ( and expensive) project that has been and is still not finished. However it does look to my very untrained eye that it is now coming along. I`m not sure when the expected finish date is but SURELY it cant be too far away?
The weather was great again yesterday and Monday and I had a couple of really long walks in the woods with the dogs. A big advantage in Rothesay is the lovely places to walk and enjoy the outdoor scenery. I promise to post photographs soon.
A disadvantage ( although I am sure this problem is the same most places) is the dog dirt. It is an absolute disgrace that owners let their dogs foul the pavement. I say owners because you don`t see many lone dogs wandering about nowadays. Not in Rothesay anyway.
I really think there should be more done about this problem. I am now finding myself becoming a "curtain twitcher" when I see someone with a dog go by. Watching them to make sure there is not a "parcel" left on the pavement outside my house. BUT sure enough I never see it happening, next time I look out there has been a dump and sure as hell someone has walked through it. Yukkkkkkkkkkkk
So what can we do?
So again
Advantages - lovely places to walk with breathtaking scenery for you and your pets.
Disadvantages - The amount of dog poo on the pavements
Motto of the story - Take it home or put it in a bin.

Its not about If they "fill in the gap" at Colintraive, where would we go? The road from there leads to Argyll and Oban etc etc OR a long journey to Glasgow etc............A bridge would enable pearsons on Bute to go to concerts, football matches, catch flights, etc one could leave Glasgow at midnight and drive home also people could come to Bute and stay untill the late evening with friends and family take in a meal etc and still drive home when they felt like it, one could fly from London to Glasgow at 9pm and be on Bute before midnight. We will soon have a marina! persons with crafts berthing at the marina could leave there home and drive to Bute with no worries of missing the last ferry, a bridge will never happen and if it were to there would be good points and bad points! Bute needs to attract as many people as possible, ask any local business person. A quite Island may be good for the retired pearson but for the people that need to make or earn a living on Bute we need it busy and if this means things like bridges etc well bring it on.
