Bring Back Local Flexibility: Support Our Community Events
We urge Argyll and Bute Council to reinstate the option for local school holidays that align with important community events. This flexibility supports participation in longstanding traditions like agricultural shows, fosters community spirit, and enables local businesses and groups to thrive. Let’s ensure our local culture and economy continue to flourish with sensible holiday arrangements.
Why is this important?
This campaign is vital to preserve the rich traditions and community spirit of Argyll and Bute. Local events like agricultural shows have been an integral part of our cultural and economic landscape for generations, bringing people together and supporting small businesses, charities, and community groups. The recent changes to school holiday policies threaten participation in these events, diminishing their accessibility and success.
By joining this campaign, you support a return to local flexibility in school holiday scheduling, ensuring these cherished traditions can continue to thrive without undue burden on families or organisations. This is a chance to stand together for our heritage, economy, and community well-being, sending a strong message to decision-makers that local voices matter.
