the avenue screen
During the course of Inveraray CARS, the deteriorating condition of the Avenue Screen on Front Street in Inveraray was noted. Following discussions with Historic Environment Scotland an opportunity for additional funding was identified for essential repair and conservation works that would secure this council asset and complement the public investment that has been made into Inveraray through CARS.
Additional funding was agreed by Argyll and Bute Council and Historic Environment Scotland in June 2018 and contractor was appointed in September 2018. Works at the Avenue Screen were completed in April 2019.
