Council chiefs have pledged to clamp down on irresponsible drivers in tourist hotspots after car parks reopened.

Car parks, including Duck Bay and in Luss, last week and a phased reopening of public toilets will begin.

Argyll and Bute Council say this phased approach will enable the local authority to keep both customers and staff safe and provide an enhanced cleaning regime during the summer period.

The council is providing additional funding to provide the added cleanliness and will review this adjusted model in August.

Public toilets will only remain open with the cooperation and responsible use by the public.

To help support communities, as a result of irresponsible parking during sunny spells and to ensure priority parking spaces are maintained, wardens will be actively monitoring road network and car parks.

From July 11, the enforcement of car parking charges in Argyll and Bute will resume.

As facilities start to reopen, the council is urging people to continue to act responsibly and follow government advice to avoid a second wave of Covid-19 and potentially the return of lockdown measures.
