IF ALL WE NEED IS A LEAP OF FAITH THEN WHY IS THE BID COMPULSORY? £360 per annum (each year for FIVE YEARS) is a serious amount of faith for most folk! Don Hind, Steering Group Member of LL BID group, has sent an open letter to the Lochaber News & The Oban Times - some of his comments are as follows: When I make a contribution I dont ask for a business plan or to see their accounts - I have faith that they will use my contribution wisely. This BID thing for me is a leap of faith. If its successful Ill contribute each year to the collective pot. Ill expect the BID board of directors to use my contribution wisely. Do I know it will work? No. Do I know what difference it will have made in three or five years time? No. I dont have the answers. But what I do have is faith And, if the BID is unsuccessful - will it affect Corpach Boatbuilding Co, or Great Glen Shipping Co? No, not really, Ill carry on as before - but have more time to spend looking after my bottom line Mr Hind concludes his letter by saying: And if you think Im talking rubbish, fine - vote NO.... just make sure you vote - one way or another. On his comment regarding ..if the BID is successful Ill contribute (£360) each year to the collective pot.. - if the BID is successful he will not have any alternative - he will have to pay for FIVE YEARS!!
