Crucial as the above people are, the youth  of Arran are not the only issue here.

Yes they need housing now, and others younger will need the same in a few years time, but what of those of more mature years with skills, trades, professions that are in short supply today - teachers, nurses, even doctors who want to come here and whose services are needed now?

What of those already working on Arran who are considering moving away because of this situation?
If they leave, what chance of replacing them?

This is not an issue to be debated for the next few years.

Decisions must be made and acted upon very soon.
