Argyll Gardens should be an attractive place where people can sit and rest while walking or wheeling in the town centre. Instead it is an exposed expanse of mono-block with steps, trip hazards and rusted benches.

This large expanse of public space is the least attractive place to walk through or sit in the town centre. It should be an attractive space with shelter, seating, bike parking and attractive planting. It is a depressing location in need of a complete re-design.

Very poor pathway and rough road surface.

Coming down from Kirk Street to Castle Gardens the surface is so rough and damaged that it makes me feel nervous and I am fit and healthy. For anyone with small children or with any mobility or vision problems, it would be treacherous. Add wet autumn leaves or frost and it is to be avoided. However, it is a direct route for children and young people coming from Dunoon Primary School and nursery to get to the park area in Castle Gardens.

Wall and poor pathways at Dunoon cemetry

Currently you can access the grave yard at the bottom of Hamilton Street and via the Boglea at the back of the tip, but the gate at the top of Alexander Street and Victoria park was bricked many years ago.
