Councillor Rory Colville, Policy Lead for Corporate Services, said: “It’s no secret that we need to encourage more people and jobs to ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and Bute. This is an opportunity for everyone to get behind a campaign to help us achieve this.
“We are in competition with many other areas, but I’m not simply biased in saying that we have so much more to offer. ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and Bute is an area we take great pride in because of its natural beauty, its welcoming communities and its award-winning businesses.
“This website is a place our organisations and businesses can use to promote themselves and the area. We are asking people to provide us with news, stories, photos and videos that can be uploaded to the site which will illustrate the many opportunities available here.
“As a council, we cannot do this on our own. Working together, we can build the prosperous future that ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and Bute deserves.â€
The site will be developed as businesses and people get involved with it.
