DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL

MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 18 January 2011 IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, AT 7.30PM

 SEDERUNT:

Mr Phil Findlay(Chair); Mr Roy Storie(Treasurer); Mrs Jean McGinn, (Secretary) Mr Rod Kruse; Mrs Dorothy Ward.
IN ATTENDANCE: Councillor Mairi Low; Councillor Sandra Goldie; Mrs Mgt Masterman, P C Kevin Kirk.

APOLOGIES: Mrs Thea Petticrew, Mr A Guthrie, Mr A Montgomerie

2. Adoption of minutes for meeting of Tuesday 16 November 2010 Proposed by Mr Roy Storie; Seconded Mrs Dorothy Ward.

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.

Secretary again has had an email from David Squires who is concerned about the brown Carrick View Indicator. The brass plate has been removed at some time and Mr Squires would like to know who is responsible for maintenance etc.

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.

Website - Mr Kruse has now minutes up to date and we are considering what other content we may upload.

7. FINANCIAL REPORT: The balance at 11 January 2011 amounts to £453.14Transactions during the previous month - £25.00 contribution to Fisherton Primary Newsletter.

Community Hall Account £2494.64.

8 OPEN FORUM: Mrs Masterman has reported the street lights out in the harbour area but no repairs have been done. Secretary suggested she contacted Roads & Lighting direct.
