Councillor Isobel Strong from Argyll and Bute Council and former Argyll Community Housing Association (ACHA) Board member, has officially opened ACHA’s new Longhill Crescent offices in Rothesay.

At a ceremony attended by Argyll and Bute’s Member of Parliament, Brendan O’Hara, the chair of ACHA James Milne MBE and ACHA chief executive Alastair MacGregor, Councillor Strong cut the ribbon to the new offices that were converted from an unused block of four flats that were in need of major renovation.

The offices are used by both ACHA and Argyll Homes For All (AHFA) staff and the conversion was carried out by local company George Hanson Ltd.

In her speech, Councillor Strong spoke about how the new office displayed ACHA’s long term commitment to the Island and its communities. After cutting the ribbon, guests were free to walk about the new office and see the facilities that staff now enjoy.

Alastair MacGregor added: “Our new offices were designed so our staff can deliver the highest standards of customer service from right in the heart of Rothesay. We are also delighted to play our part in supporting affordable homes, jobs and the economy on the islands of Argyll & Bute.”
