Argyll and Bute councillors are being asked to approve additional funding of £65,000 per month to Live Argyll until Helensburgh Leisure Centre can reopen.

The already 'cash strapped' local authority has been shown a report that the leisure trust, which operates leisure services on the authority’s behalf, needs to confirm further funding after auditors flagged a risk.

It has also been proposed that the council set aside £1.3million of funding across the region for repairs following the storm.

The details feature in a report which will go before the full council at its last meeting before summer recess this Thursday.
