This would seem to be closing places down and reducing revenue (no more landing fees and permit fees) but I'm sure A&BC have their motives.

Anybody got any more gen on this?

I am not surprised by this. I have rarely visited Oban, let alone Coll or Colonsay, due to the increased red tape and officiousness since they were all "improved".

However, have you tried contacting the Council officials and local Councillors about this?
