I won't be surprised at all when this boring, cheapest option is chosen but thought ABC would have pushed for something more adventurous. As an occasional reader of the Argyllshire Advertiser, it's always seemed that local councillors and politicians wanted the situation addressed properly with some more ambition, particularly when the other side is likely to face the same ground conditions and likely difficulties. I personally fancied the idea of a bridge over towards Lochgilphead but it would have reduced the temptation to pop into Fyne Ales. As I type this the news has just reported The Rest is closed overnight due to the wet weather again.
