DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL
MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 17 November 2009 IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, AT 7.30PM.
1. SEDERUNT: Mr Adam Montgomerie; Mrs Jean McGinn, Mr Andrew Guthrie;
Mrs Margaret Masterman, Mr Angus MacLeod.
IN ATTENDANCE: Councillor Sandra Goldie;
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC:
APOLOGIES: Mr Philip Findlay; Mr Roy Storie; Mr Rod Kruse; Mrs Thea Petticrew.
2. Adoption of minutes for meeting of Tuesday 20 October 2009
Proposed by Mrs M Masterman. Seconded Mr A Guthrie.
3. POLICE REPORT: No report available at this time.
4. COUNCILLOR’S REPORT: Councillor Goldie reported there has been a poor response to the Council’s Community Conversations held in various venues throughout South Ayrshire. Mr Guthrie suggested the title and format may have put some people off from attending these meetings. It was reported to Councillor Goldie that part of Station Road had been repaired but it was pointed out that there was a very large hole on the main A719 adjacent to school (at the bottom of Coal Pit Road).
We have been concerned about the lack of information from British Legion of their attendance at the War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday and advised Councillor Goldie of this. It turned out after Rev Arrick Wilkinson arranging a short laying of wreaths at 2pm, the British Legion had turned up at 1pm without any indication of this to the village or indeed the minister.
5. OPEN FORUM: No members of the public were present.
6. MATTERS ARISING:
Ÿ Labyrinth: We have two applications for grants but no estimate as yet from Mrs Petticrew.
Ÿ Wall at Kennedy Park. Mr Storie commented (in his absence) that the wall had not been repaired very satisfactorily. Will pass this on to Mrs Petticrew but coincidentally there has been a further area of wall damaged adjacent to the newly repaired part.
Ÿ Balig Planning Application: This was delayed until 23 November, but we advised Ms Buchanan it was doubtful if we could have a representative at this meeting.
Ÿ Remembrance Sunday: Mr Montgomerie laid the wreath as agreed but as previously recorded it is unsatisfactory that we cannot get proper information from the British Legion on their attendance.
Ÿ Sewage Seepage in Kennedy Park. This has been cleared by Scottish Water but as there is obviously some underlying problem here, Kennedy Hall & Park Committee will contact Scottish Water for an investigation into this problem.
7. FINANCIAL REPORT:
Administration Account Balance at 17 November 2009 - £470.66

DATE OF NEXT MEETING: Tuesday 19 January at 7.30pm.
