ADOPTION OF MINUTES for meeting of 19 June: Proposed by Mrs D Ward, Seconded Mr P Findlay. Ms Julia Whitaker and Mr David Bett attended our meeting to make us aware of “Carrick Characters”. This is a project to link all the communities in Carrick and to raise awareness of the area and encourage tourism. Each community has been asked to suggest an “icon” which is peculiar to their area and which will help visitors to recognise the different and varied aspects of Carrick. These icons could be industrial, history, etc. There will be a Web Site for “Carrick” with all the information available on the 17 villages/communities in the area. Mr Findlay suggests better signage is needed to encourage visitors to a specific area. There was a positive reception to this and we will think about the main “icon” for our area. Wind Farm and Leader funding will be available for this project. We thanked Ms Whitaker and Mr Bett ,for their time and input here. POLICE REPORT: for the period 21 July 2012 to 21 August 2012. One case of vandalism to the park keeper's hut in the Kennedy Park. One theft of gates from Fisherton Farm. Other incidents of note: Youths playing loud music from motor vehicles, also a neighbour dispute. They were asked about the reported body found near Fisherton Burn on the shore some time ago but were unaware of this. COUNCILLOR'S REPORT. Councillor William Grant attended our meeting and will attend mall future meetings when he can. He does not have a surgery as such but can be contacted at any time on the telephone or through County Buildings. He is aware of the roads repairs about to be carried out, but the area of Carrick Place which is supposed to have been repaired has not been completed as yet. Councillor Grant asks if we are aware of the “2014 Scotland Year of Homecoming”. This year will feature Robert the Bruce and the 700th Anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn. 5. LINK OFFICER'S REPORT: Mrs Petticrew asked Mr Gibson at what stage is he at in respect of the trees he wishes to be trimmed. Mr Gibson has ascertained that the owners are the Harbour committee but as this is a conservation area he will need special permission. Mrs Patticrew will email a copy of the form required to be completed. Advised Mrs Petticrew of the overhanging bushes on Station Road making it impossible to walk on the pavement and unsafe to walk on the road especially from the Croft to the harbour adjacent to the Waste Water Treatment Works.

Mrs Petticrew asks if we are all aware of the changes in the bin collections. Concern was raised that more fly tipping may take place if the brown bin collection is further reduced.

The public are asked to be vigilant and report any suspicious vehicles and supply the local police with registration numbers if possible. 4. COUNCILLOR’S REPORT: Councillor Goldie reports that savings will have to be made over the whole Council budget. A list of potholes was passed on from Mr Storie who has again spoken of the quality of repairs which just do not last. Some repairs had broken down within two days of repair. Councillor Goldie advises that the road repairs are further behind than ever and there is very little hope of the council ever catching up. The provision of salt bins was mentioned and Councillor Goldie will pass this on. 5. LINK OFFICER’S REPORT: Mrs Petticrew was asked about the problem of bins not being emptied because the lids are not closed properly. Mrs Petticrew suggests we mention that lids should be firmly closed. The new system of blue bins being emptied every two weeks instead of every four weeks is on hold at the moment but will definitely be in operation before too long. If brown bins are not to be collected during winter months, a special emptying of brown bins will be available on request. Mr Findlay mentioned the problem of the blue bins being rather unstable in windy conditions especially as in Dunure most residents are in exposed and hilly areas. He wonders if some sort of stabilising could be incorporated into these bins. Various problems – Street light out in StationRoad, overflowing culverts also Station Road. 6. MATTERS ARISING: Lighthouse – Mr Storie has yet to have a meeting with Mr Kerr. Remembrance Sunday – Mr Findlay laid South Ayrshire Council poppy wreath, the British Legion were in attendance and everything went according to schedule. Councillor Mairi Low also attended. Mr Rankin’s Open letter re Dunure Maritime Heritage – Mr Rankin tghanked us for our reply but unfortunately he has not had any other response to his letter. 7. FINANCIAL REPORT: Closing balance at 15 November amounts to £569.28 (£50 towards Youth Club Fireworks). New Hall Account stands at £170.42 9 OPEN FORUM: There were no members of the public present. 10 CORRESPONDENCE:  Letter from S A C concerning a beacon for Queen’s Jubilee.  Letter from Alison Nelson re office bearers on S A C Web Site. 11.

After our business meeting Mr James Brown gave an interesting and informative talk on the Ayrshire Pilgrim’s Trail, with a slide show. He spoke of the need to encourage tourism in the south west corner of Ayrshire, and also of the book about Carrick which had been published through the CCCF with his able assistance. Copies of the book were for sale. We thanked him for his attendance at our meeting. There being no other business, the meeting closed at 9pm and the next meeting will be held on Tuesday 17 January 2012.
