DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL

MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 15 February 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 Rod Kruse; Mrs Dorothy Ward.
IN ATTENDANCE

: Councillor Sandra Goldie; Mrs Thea Petticrew (Link Officer); P C Angela McMorran.
APOLOGIES: Mr A Montgomerie

2. Adoption of minutes for meeting of Tuesday 18 January 2011 Proposed by Mr Rod Kruse; Seconded Mrs Dorothy Ward.

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.

6.. MATTERS ARISING:

Lighthouse -

Letter received (by email) from Mr Murphy. He is no further forward with volunteers for the fund raising of lighthouse fund.

This will be over a week-end (15 May) with an exhibition in the hall over a week. The school will also be involved.
