Cumbrae Community Development Company held their annual general meeting on Tuesday 2 December at Garrison House.

The board proposal to have a community pharmacy in the Garrison was discussed.

The CEO - Michael Bircham - answered on behalf of CCDC, and he stated that they were going ahead with organising a meeting for the NHS for advice and support.

He refused to divulge the results of the questionnaire unless the board permitted him to.

Earlier in the meeting, Treasurer Stephen Dobbin had stated that the company had not paid for the survey, and it had been one individual who wished to remain anonymous.

The owner of the Millport Pharmacy, James Semple, has attacked the plans, and believes there is ‘almost zero chance’ of the development getting the go-ahead,
