ADOPTION OF MINUTES FOR MEETING OF 17 May 2011. Proposed- Dorothy Ward. Seconded- Andrew Guthrie
POLICE REPORT. There was no serious crime to report.
COUNCILLORS’ REPORTSCouncillor Goldie reported on the current thinking concerning the need to improve community councils through more local governance. There might be a need for new local responsibility/involvement in financial arrangements. The greater role which Maybole was endeavouring to play in the running of many of its own services was cited as a possible way forward.The subject of the roads came up and our Chairman took the opportunity to express our thanks for the upgrading of the section of the A719 between Haven Craig Tara and the Laigh Kyleston Farm Park, though the treasurer felt it necessary to draw attention to other defects. The substantial pothole on the southbound road just north of Fisherton P.S. and also those at the S-bend at the bottom of the hill on Station Road were mentioned. [the former was repaired within the week following the meeting]mCouncillor Low brought up the subjects of energy referencing “Community Energy Scotland”, and a “Fuel Poverty” conference in Glasgow on the 7th.July. A leaflet on the former was available, and info. on the outcome of the latter would be available if desired.
LINK OFFICER’S REPORT Mrs. Petticrew indicated that because several members of her department were currently suspended her own work load was inevitably much greater and that her future attendance at Dunure C.C. would suffer as a result. At present items which we had drawn to her attention had been dealt with.
MATTERS ARISING Following our Chairman’s above remarks regarding the A719 upgrade, our Secretary would be asked to write expressing thanks to Janice Kelly of the Roads Department.
FINANCIAL REPORT The treasurer circulated copies of the audited financial report. Our D.C.C. Account has a balance of £49.28, and the Community Centre Account stands at £195.42. The Audit fee of £30.00 had been forwarded. This would leave a balance of £19.28 in our account.
OPEN FORUM There was discussion relating to the cost effectiveness of wind turbines, and how much benefit there was for those feeding into the National Grid.
Roy Storie drew attention to the fact that there was to be a site visit to look at the proposed Croy Brae development.
There was a request from Margaret Masterman to see if we would again be willing to donate a prize voucher for the Art Class annual exhibition. A £25 voucher would be purchased. [ Several D,C.C. members later attended the opening night of the show and the prize was awarded to Mrs.Diane Gardner]
Andrew Guthrie requested that SEEPA should re-erect their water quality notice board. [ As we were leaving the Hall it was noted that this had already been done]
Dorothy Ward reported back on her worthwhile and interesting visit to the Carrick Community Council Forum. A sum of £500 was to be made available for each of the smaller local C.C.s. It was felt that there was a greater need to promote South Carrick and develop more of its tourist potential. The joint Carrick Council would cover any future printing costs.
CORRESPONDENCE This was duly dealt with. It was noted that the notification of Tenants and Residents Forum was now out of date. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the Chair, who indicated how much we had missed Jean’s expertise.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 17 MAY 2011 IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, AT 7.30PM
SEDERUNT:
Mr Phil Findlay(Chair); Mr Rod Kruse (Vice Chair); Mr Roy Storie(Treasurer); Mrs Jean McGinn, (Secretary) Mr A Guthrie; Mrs Dorothy Ward.
IN ATTENDANCE: Councillor Mairi Low; Mr Peter Mason; P C David Kavanagh
APOLOGIES: Mr Adam Montgomerie; Mrs Thea Pettigrew (Link Officer)
2. Adoption of minutes for meeting of Tuesday 15 March 2011 Proposed by Mr Roy Storie; Seconded Mr A Guthrie.
*******************************************************************************
Before the commencement of our meeting, Mr Peter Mason, Maybole C C spoke on the benefits of our joining the Carrick Community Councils Forum. He advised that there are 11 Community councils in South Carrick, and if we work together it is to our advantage. He also commented on the fact that there is Wind Farm money and other grants available for projects subject ot approval. We have previously been unable to have a representative attend these meetings in Girvan, but Mrs Dorothy Ward has agreed to attend these meetings.
******************************************************************
3. POLICE REPORT: P C David Kavanagh attended the meeting and introduced himself as he is new to the Maybole Police Office. The biggest problem at the moment is the theft of metals and also heating oil and he asks that everyone be vigilant and report anything deemed to be suspicious.
4. COUNCILLORS’ REPORT: Councillor Mairi Low spoke (as did Mr Mason) on encouraging tourism to the south west corner from Ayr south which is a beautiful area but often forgotten about. Councillor Low has also visited the police nerve centre in Glasgow to where all our telephone calls are directed. This centre along with CCTV should be an improvement in fast response to incidents.
5. LINK OFFICER’S REPORT: Mrs Petticrew gave her apologies and asks if we email any queries we might have
6. CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: I have enjoyed my first year as Chair of Dunure Community Council.
The first big issue which was continued from the previous year was Balig Farm application for a Holiday Park, which was eventually turned down by the Scottish Parliament.
Probably our main concern has been the condition of the roads, and we eventually had a representative from the roads department at our last meeting. The worst stretch of the A719 is between the Farm Park and Perryston and we were assured this would have a proper resurface job done in the near future.
Mr Kruse has agreed to be our Vice Chair and has also taken over our Website and Mrs Ward is now a full member of our Community Council. Thank you to both.
We are still two members short and should try and recruit to get us back up to full strength.
I would like to thank our Councillor Sandra Goldie and Councillor Mairi Low for their attendance and assistance in our endeavours, and of course our Link Officer,
Mrs Thea Petticrew. Their expertise makes our job a lot easier.
Thanks also to all our members for their commitment and attendance over the year, not forgetting Mr Storie our very able Treasurer and Secretary Mrs Jean McGinn.
Philip Findlay, Chair.
7. MATTERS ARISING: Roads still a problem here and we will ascertain when the stretch from the Farm Park to Perryston is being resurfaced.
8. FINANCIAL REPORT: Mr Storie presented draft Statement of Accounts which showed that at the 31 April 2011 we had a balance of £49.27 which leaves sufficient funds to pay for the audit of accounts.
Community Hall Account Balance stands at £195.98The sum of £2.300 from this account has been lent to Kennedy Hall & Park Committee.

DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL Minutes of MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 19 April 2011 IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, AT 7.30PM
SEDERUNT
: Mr Phil Findlay(Chair); Mr Roy Storie(Treasurer); Mrs Jean McGinn, (Secretary) Mr A Guthrie; Mr Adam Montgomerie; Mrs Dorothy Ward.
IN ATTENDANCE
: Mrs Thea Pettigrew (Link Officer); Councillor Sandra Goldie; Ms Janice Kelly, Team Leader - Operations (Roads Dept).
APOLOGIES: Mr Rod Kruse.
2. Adoption of minutes for meeting of Tuesday 15 March 2011
Proposed by Mr Adam Montgomerie; Seconded Mr Roy Storie.
Ms Janice Kelly, Team Leader - Operations (Roads Department) attended our meeting and answered numerous questions on road maintenance. In advance of her visit we sent her some points raised by Mr Storie. This was replied to be email and Ms Kelly elaborated on the comments during her visit. She did also confirm that the area near Farm Park will be resurfaced earlier that the scheduled date of October 2011.
This is the email in full:-
RE: LOCAL ROADS COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS
Station Road from 30mph signs to Harbour Road near to Kennedy Drive.
&
A719 – Farm Park at Laigh Kyleston to entrance of Perryston.
I can confirm that the section of carriageway at the A719 Laigh Kyleston is scheduled for resurfacing this financial year.
During 2010 the roads service identified a number of sites that had previously received preparatory works for the procedure of surface dressing. The site in question was one of those areas that had previously been prepared using a screed of material to remove the surface defects with a view to returning within a two year period to apply the surface dressing treatment. This is standard practice for this treatment.
For this process the Roads service tendered a contract for the bituminous emulsion which was subsequently won by Colas Ltd. The process of application was then undertaken by our in house contractor.
The works at this location were carried out between 5-10 August 2010. On completion of the works there was no indication of any failure. The works themselves were supervised by our Depot manager and Technical Officer to ensure the process of application was applied correctly. Advance warning by the means of temporary signage was left out advising of No Road Markings and 10mph speed limit. Suction Brushing was carried out on completion of the application with further brushing being carried out as required. Road Marking renewal was instructed on 31 August 2010. Brushing and monitoring by our in house contractor has continued since the problem was identified.
There is no doubt that there has been a failure in the treatment, due to the chip loss, which could
have been due to a few contributory factors such as;
1. Weather on day of application was “showery” and may have contributed to early failure.
2. Works were carried out late season but within the recommended period.
3. Unrestricted traffic speed through works is a likely contributory factor in the early failure. We are always under pressure to fully open primary routes to vehicular traffic as soon as possible however the timescale for this is now under review.
4. It should be noted that although the existing road surface appeared to have little wrong with it, it had reached a stage where intervention was necessary to restore waterproofing and hence reduce the rate of further deterioration
5. More substantial works would have been the preferred option but this section did not appear on the priority list for resurfacing works. It was anticipated the treatment applied would prevent further deterioration of existing road surface until funds were available for hot rolled asphalt resurfacing. The cost of the subsequent works was £5145.
6. Further brushing/monitoring has continued since failure was identified.
It should be noted that the location in question is inspected on a regular basis regarding chip loss.
I trust this clarifies the point raised in Question A, in that these resurfacing techniques are standard and, in ordinary circumstances, fit for purpose.
With regards Question B, South Ayrshire Council has a duty to repair, as soon as possible, all defects reported to it or as arises during inspection. Therefore it is necessary to react to these defects by way of pothole repair patching. Due to financial restrictions we are unable in most cases to undertake a complete repair of all sites. With a limited budget available for resurfacing works we are unable to meet all the aspirations of our customers. This means the Roads staff and the Council are faced with the very difficult decisions about what roads should be included in the current programme and what can be safely left until more funding is made available.
The majority of works carried out are planned maintenance and are determined by the scoring matrix sheets, as part of our Carriageway Resurfacing Scheme Priority System. As this is a fairly new system, only a small percentage of our roads have been assessed to date. The inspectors are initially assessing the roads in their areas that are in the worst condition. Over time, all roads will be assessed so that we can formulate a long-term maintenance plan for our network as a whole and this is prioritised as through:
i) regular inspections of the entire road network which note safety defects, general condition and
assessment of likely deterioration over the coming 3 year period.
ii) analysis of the frequency of repairs
iii) level of use
Safety defects on the road network are identified through regular inspections and categorised for repair using the Roads Risk Matrix from the Well-maintained Highways Code of Practice for Highway Maintenance 2005.
Unfortunately, there are many road and footway resurfacing requests and needs which cannot be accommodated within the available budget.
Please be advised that we will continue to monitor and repair the roads and footways in your area until such times as we are able to carry out any resurfacing works.
Finally, in response to Questions C & D in the letter regarding the monitoring of workmanship and apparatus of public utilities and private contractors. I can confirm that within the new Roads Structure, a new Public Utility Inspector post has been created which should highlight any defective apparatus or failed reinstatements and improve the overall quality of reinstatements carried out by the all Public Utility Companies and Private Contractors. Such companies are liable for their apparatus and workmanship in the public road and this new inspector post is aimed entirely at resolving such issues as mentioned in your letter.
I trust the above information is of help. Craig Mitchell, Technician

DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL Minutes of MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 19 April 2011 IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, AT 7.30PM
SEDERUNT
: Mr Phil Findlay(Chair); Mr Roy Storie(Treasurer); Mrs Jean McGinn, (Secretary) Mr A Guthrie; Mr Adam Montgomerie; Mrs Dorothy Ward.
IN ATTENDANCE
: Mrs Thea Pettigrew (Link Officer); Councillor Sandra Goldie; Ms Janice Kelly, Team Leader - Operations (Roads Dept).
APOLOGIES: Mr Rod Kruse.
2. Adoption of minutes for meeting of Tuesday 15 March 2011
Proposed by Mr Adam Montgomerie; Seconded Mr Roy Storie.
Ms Janice Kelly, Team Leader - Operations (Roads Department) attended our meeting and answered numerous questions on road maintenance. In advance of her visit we sent her some points raised by Mr Storie. This was replied to be email and Ms Kelly elaborated on the comments during her visit. She did also confirm that the area near Farm Park will be resurfaced earlier that the scheduled date of October 2011.
This is the email in full:-
RE: LOCAL ROADS COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS
Station Road from 30mph signs to Harbour Road near to Kennedy Drive.
&
A719 – Farm Park at Laigh Kyleston to entrance of Perryston.
I can confirm that the section of carriageway at the A719 Laigh Kyleston is scheduled for resurfacing this financial year.
During 2010 the roads service identified a number of sites that had previously received preparatory works for the procedure of surface dressing. The site in question was one of those areas that had previously been prepared using a screed of material to remove the surface defects with a view to returning within a two year period to apply the surface dressing treatment. This is standard practice for this treatment.
For this process the Roads service tendered a contract for the bituminous emulsion which was subsequently won by Colas Ltd. The process of application was then undertaken by our in house contractor.
The works at this location were carried out between 5-10 August 2010. On completion of the works there was no indication of any failure. The works themselves were supervised by our Depot manager and Technical Officer to ensure the process of application was applied correctly. Advance warning by the means of temporary signage was left out advising of No Road Markings and 10mph speed limit. Suction Brushing was carried out on completion of the application with further brushing being carried out as required. Road Marking renewal was instructed on 31 August 2010. Brushing and monitoring by our in house contractor has continued since the problem was identified.
There is no doubt that there has been a failure in the treatment, due to the chip loss, which could
have been due to a few contributory factors such as;
1. Weather on day of application was “showery” and may have contributed to early failure.
2. Works were carried out late season but within the recommended period.
3. Unrestricted traffic speed through works is a likely contributory factor in the early failure. We are always under pressure to fully open primary routes to vehicular traffic as soon as possible however the timescale for this is now under review.
4. It should be noted that although the existing road surface appeared to have little wrong with it, it had reached a stage where intervention was necessary to restore waterproofing and hence reduce the rate of further deterioration
5. More substantial works would have been the preferred option but this section did not appear on the priority list for resurfacing works. It was anticipated the treatment applied would prevent further deterioration of existing road surface until funds were available for hot rolled asphalt resurfacing. The cost of the subsequent works was £5145.
6. Further brushing/monitoring has continued since failure was identified.
It should be noted that the location in question is inspected on a regular basis regarding chip loss.
I trust this clarifies the point raised in Question A, in that these resurfacing techniques are standard and, in ordinary circumstances, fit for purpose.
With regards Question B, South Ayrshire Council has a duty to repair, as soon as possible, all defects reported to it or as arises during inspection. Therefore it is necessary to react to these defects by way of pothole repair patching. Due to financial restrictions we are unable in most cases to undertake a complete repair of all sites. With a limited budget available for resurfacing works we are unable to meet all the aspirations of our customers. This means the Roads staff and the Council are faced with the very difficult decisions about what roads should be included in the current programme and what can be safely left until more funding is made available.
The majority of works carried out are planned maintenance and are determined by the scoring matrix sheets, as part of our Carriageway Resurfacing Scheme Priority System. As this is a fairly new system, only a small percentage of our roads have been assessed to date. The inspectors are initially assessing the roads in their areas that are in the worst condition. Over time, all roads will be assessed so that we can formulate a long-term maintenance plan for our network as a whole and this is prioritised as through:
i) regular inspections of the entire road network which note safety defects, general condition and
assessment of likely deterioration over the coming 3 year period.
ii) analysis of the frequency of repairs
iii) level of use
Safety defects on the road network are identified through regular inspections and categorised for repair using the Roads Risk Matrix from the Well-maintained Highways Code of Practice for Highway Maintenance 2005.
Unfortunately, there are many road and footway resurfacing requests and needs which cannot be accommodated within the available budget.
Please be advised that we will continue to monitor and repair the roads and footways in your area until such times as we are able to carry out any resurfacing works.
Finally, in response to Questions C & D in the letter regarding the monitoring of workmanship and apparatus of public utilities and private contractors. I can confirm that within the new Roads Structure, a new Public Utility Inspector post has been created which should highlight any defective apparatus or failed reinstatements and improve the overall quality of reinstatements carried out by the all Public Utility Companies and Private Contractors. Such companies are liable for their apparatus and workmanship in the public road and this new inspector post is aimed entirely at resolving such issues as mentioned in your letter.
I trust the above information is of help. Craig Mitchell, Technician

Celebration of Dunure Harbour Bicentennial
Celebration of Dunure Harbour Bicentennial
On 6th May 1811 King George III signed the Act of Parliament for
erecting and maintaining a Harbour, and Works connected therewith, at Dunure, in the County of Ayr
thereby allowing the owner, Thomas Kennedy of Dunure, Esquire, to levy Duties upon vessels entering the Harbour and levy Rates upon Commodities which shall be exported or imported in the Vessels..
This May, 200 years later, we will be celebrating the event.
The whole village is awash with ideas and volunteers are busy planning our celebration week which starts on Sunday 15th May. Throughout that week there will be an Exhibition, in the Kennedy Hall, of Dunure and its’ Harbour through the ages. It will include Charts, Maps, Fishing Boats, Fishing Methods, Displays of Memorabilia etc. and all things Seafaring. A detailed Programme of Activities will be available shortly.
On Friday 20th May the focus in the day will be on children and parents. Our Boats and Harbour will be dressed and ready to show off crafts such as Knotting, Fishing Net making, Rope splicing and Lobster Pot making. There will be Story Telling, Traditional Music and Games like hopscotch and skittles. Watch out too for Magicians. In the evening there will be a quiz on Local Knowledge and History in the Dunure Inn followed by a musical gathering - bring along an instrument if you have one.
Saturday 21st May is the main day and our harbour will be buzzing with activities. Everyone will be encouraged to be in traditional costume. We already have access to quite a lot but hopefully there will be activities, in the lead up to the Festival, making up more especially for the school children.
In addition to the official opening there will be a mock re-enactment of the Charter of Ownership being landed by boat and formally presented to
Thomas Kennedy of Dunure, Esquire, his Heirs, Successors, and Assignees, who are empowered to put the Act in Execution.
Throughout the day there will be live staged music and wandering minstrels entertaining the crowd with their version of sea shanties.
There will be a beer tent, barbeque, and a traditional cooking. For the more genteel there will be tea, coffee and cakes.
Children’s games and entertainment have been organised. Raft races and tug-o-war in the Harbour.
In the evening we will be entertained by the Carradale Player with a diverse range of activities using film, drama and music. The night will climax with a village ceilidh and a flash, bang, wallop fireworks display at midnight.

3. POLICE REPORT
: Only two minor incidents, one being a road traffic accident. Asked P C to find out if there have been any reports made to them about the loss of heating oil in the village. Mr Guthrie reported a broken window in the disabled toilets in Kennedy Park which was obviously deliberate.
4. COUNCILLORS’ REPORT
: Cuts may not be as bad as first feared. The branch library will remain where it is at Forehill.
Road condition again discussed and Mr Findlay asked about the cost effectiveness of using inferior materials which results in potholes having to be filled again and again. Mrs Petticrew suggests we contact Kenny Dalrymple and ask him to attend a meeting to explain the roads departments policy.
Regarding the entrance to the Waste Water Treatment works which Councillor Goldie had queried with Scottish Water, Mr Guthrie confirmed that Mr Morton will now be building a wall to complete this area.
5. LINK OFFICER’S REPORT: There was a query from a member of the public regarding household waste being taken to Heathfield Depot in a van. As this is deemed to be commercial, the operators take the reg. number of such vehicles. Mrs Petticrew will find out about special concessions for people on benefits etc.
Mr Storie mentioned the amount of litter in lay-by on A77 adjacent to Holmston Roundabout. Mrs Petticrew is hoping to get more people on community service to litter pick these areas. She points out while Amey is responsible for maintenance and grass cutting, South Ayrshire Council is responsible for litter picking.
Mr Findllay asked how many fixed penalty notices were actually issued for fly tipping etc. Mrs Petticrew suggests if anyone witnesses incidents, they should take reg. number and report it immediately.

Mr Findllay asked how many fixed penalty notices were actually issued for fly tipping etc. Mrs Petticrew suggests if anyone witnesses incidents, they should take reg. number and report it immediately.

3. POLICE REPORT: Only one reported incident in the area over the previous two months.
4. COUNCILLORS’ REPORT: Again discussed the condition of the roads with Councillor Goldie but while she will do what she can regarding the pothole adjacent to Fisherton School, and other areas, she feels sure we are aware of the lack of funding for the roads generally.
An email was received by her from SWS in reply to her query about the ongoing problem with the temporary fence at the entrance to the Waste Water Treatment Works. Alan Ferguson of Scottish Water states they have no further interest in this and suggests we contact the owner of the land.
Councillor Mairi Low was asked to try and get British Legion on board with the Remembrance Sunday laying of wreaths as there has been a problem of non-communication here over the last two or three years.
Mr Findlay asked the Councillors to query a proposal by the Government re the capping of fuel prices in remote and rural areas.

5. LINK OFFICER’S REPORT: Mrs Petticrew was absent and there were no issues to bring up.
6.. MATTERS ARISING:
Lighthouse - As the Harbour Association have not made any progress towards a “lighthouse” subcommittee, and Mr Storie’s letter to the Chairman has been unanswered, Secretary will again write asking their intentions.
Because the Harbour will be 200 years old this year, Mrs Ward is holding a meeting in Kennedy Hall on Friday 28 January to generate interest in a special celebration of the harbour, and hopes there will be a good turn out to her meeting. She has distributed flyers throughout the village.
Community Hall Account - Kennedy Hall & Park Committee are at the moment applying for more funding towards this from Ayrshire Leader.

DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL
MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 16 November 2010 IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, AT 7.30PM
SEDERUNT
: Mr Phil Findlay(Chair); Mr Roy Storie(Treasurer); Mrs Jean McGinn, (Secretary) Mr Adam Montgomerie; Mr A Guthrie; Mr Rod Kruse; Mrs Dorothy Ward.
IN ATTENDANCE
: Councillor Mairi Low; Councillor Sandra Goldie; P C Kevin Kirk; P C Graeme Reid
APOLOGIES: Mrs Thea Petticrew.
2. Adoption of minutes for meeting of Tuesday 19 October 2010
Proposed by Mr R Kruse, Seconded Mr Andy Guthrie.
3. POLICE REPORT
: Only one reported incident of a break-in to premises. P C asks that we email all officers based at Maybole with minutes of our meetings and this will keep everyone informed as they hope they will always be able to have a representative attend our meetings. This was agreed.
4. COUNCILLOR’S REPORT
: The problem of parking on pavements by cars and other vehicles was again mentioned as this is can cause inconvenience to pedestrians. Again spoke of the problem with Scottish Water and the uncompleted entrance to the Treatment Works. Councillor Goldie will contact Alan Ferguson of SWS for his comments.
Discussed with Councillor Low the problem we have with the British Legion and their attendance at Dunure Cemetery on Remembrance Sunday. Even though they had arranged to be at Dunure Cemetery at a time of their choosing, they arrived early and left before the appointed time and just as Rev Arrick Wilkinson was arriving. Councillor Low will get back to us on this matter.
5. LINK OFFICER’S REPORT: Mrs Petticrew advised that the park benches had been delivered, and Mr Guthrie could tell us that they have been installed in the park, and delighted to get them.
6.. MATTERS ARISING:
Lighthouse -
As far as we are aware, the Harbour Association has not yet set up a separate “Lighthouse Committee”. While Mr Guthrie and Mr Storie are more than happy to be on this Committee and help in any way they can, it is the responsibility of the Harbour Association to get the lighthouse in a proper state of repair. We understand this is part of their constitution. At the time of our meeting Mr Storie has not had a reply to his recent letter. All the while the Lighthouse, which is a prominent landmark and part of our heritage, is deteriorating to such an extent that we may end up without this integral part of our harbour and village.
Community Hall Account - Work
on the roof has now commenced, and the money will be transferred from the Community Hall Account eventually.
Website -
Mr Kruse is now moving forward with this project, and we hope to have further details next meeting.
Home Insulation Project:
This seems to have been completed and some residents were able to take up the offers available. Whether it was a worthwhile exercise we shall no doubt hear in due course.
Hole In the road at school -
Again been repaired.
Fisherton School Community Newsletter:
This is in the process of being collated.
8. FINANCIAL REPORT: The balance at 16 November amounts to £528.06 there having been no transactions in the last month.
