DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL

MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 16 February 2010. IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, AT 7.30PM.

IN ATTENDANCE: Councillor Sandra Goldie; Mrs Thea Petticrew (Link Officer)

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC:

APOLOGIES: Mr A Guthrie; PC John Hamil.

2. Adoption of minutes for meeting of Tuesday 19 January 201

Proposed: Mr R Kruse. Seconded: Mrs Margaret Masterman. (As we did not have a quorum at the beginning of the meeting, the minutes were not adopted until Mrs Masterman arrived later on in the meeting.

3. POLICE REPORT: P C John Hamil phoned with his apologies but reported that there had been no incidents since the previous meeting. Any problems we have should be passed on to him.

4. COUNCILLOR’S REPORT: Councillor Goldie handed out copies of the Chief Executive’s Bulletin in which he sets out the way forward for South Ayrshire Council. We could report that there had been a bit of repair work done on the A719 (large potholes at school etc) but the whole surface area of the road south of the Farm Park is in very poor condition and beginning to disintegrate. Councillor Goldie spoke of the diversion on the A70 as work will be ongoing for about a month between the Holmston and Dobbies roundabouts. The road via Oswald Bridge is particularly bad. The same could be said for the whole country after the severe winter, the roads having been neglected for some time.

5. LINK OFFICER’S REPORT: Mrs Petticrew is now in a position where the council will pay for the materials for the Labyrinth Steps (Community Service will undertake the work) and all Mr Guthrie has to get a grant for is the railing leading down to the labyrinth. This railing must be properly secured to the rock and may need to get advice on this.

Mr Storie commented on the poor condition of the lay-by at the Cemetery which is being eroded by large vehicles. Mrs Petticrew will speak with Ms Linton and ask her to have a look at this.

6. MATTERS ARISING

Ÿ Labyrinth: This was discussed with Mrs Petticrew and will leave the matter with Mr Guthrie..

9. ANY OTHER BUSINESS

1. Mrs McKinley had a discussion with Mrs McGinn about Fisherton School getting involved with village projects. She asked that we consider this and come up with some ideas. One of these was a beach clean and we will contact Mr Guthrie to see if he will arrange this. Another suggestion was for a community newsletter which the school might get involved in and perhaps have two such newsletter distributed each year. Secretary asked members to come up with some ideas.
