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.

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.

This is in the process of being collated.
