Poppy lights idea for Mull

Poppy lights as part of Mull’s Remembrance Day celebrations would be supported by the island’s community council.

Sarah Pedley took the idea to the last community council Zoom meeting after seeing communities along the North Coast 500 route light up this way with special fi lters on street lights in towns and villages. Tobermory, Craignure and Salen could get involved and Tobermory’s town clock could be illuminated and decorated.

‘I’m more than happy to pursue it,’ she told the community council.

Community council convener Tom Nelson said: ‘We could be supportive of that.’

Councillor Mary-Jean Devon suggested the project could be carried out in conjunction with the Christmas lights committee.

There is also the possibility the community council could help with some fundraising for it.

Councillor Devon also suggested Caledonian MacBrayne could be approached for fi nancial help.
