Argyll & Bute Council has engineered the closure of Castle Toward, taking effect from 13th November 2009.  Ever since 1996, the Council seems to have been determined to sell the historic premises and estate to the highest bidder as a housing development or a caravan park, or anything else, so long as it is not an education facility.

Throughout this period attempts made to purchase this unique facility have been thwarted by the Council.  The under-handedness of the Council must be highlighted, to be challenged.  This is no more apparent than in the most recent sequence of events regarding fire safety precautions and the Council stalling over the action required and requested by Actual Reality, which has brought about the recent closure.

The following pages detail the way in which the Council has contradicted itself throughout the period in question, how it has caused intentional delays in the attempts at progress made by Actual Reality and the Castle Toward Trust, and the way in which deception continues by denying the public information it is entitled to.
