SNH to move to shared office in Dunoon
The Cowal team of Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) are set to move to a new office on the seafront in Dunoon on 16 March. They will join VisitScotland staff in the Information Centre on Alexandra Parade, after almost 12 years at Ballochyle Estate, Sandbank.
The move is the latest in a series of SNH office relocations to share facilities with other organisations. The aim is to provide a more efficient and effective service, cut costs and reduce climate change impacts. Other SNH offices where this has already happened include Inverness, Dingwall, Golspie, Aberdeen, Ayr, Oban, Fort William, Dumfries and Edinburgh.
Andrew Campbell, operations manager for Argyll said: "We are always looking for ways to make our offices more environmentally, operationally and financially efficient. The new shared office with VisitScotland will help us provide a better service at lower cost and importantly, stay in the area so we can continue to give advice and support to the local community."
The new address for SNH in Dunoon is 7 Alexandra Parade, Dunoon PA23 8AB, but calls and post to the old address will be redirected for six months.
