SEDERUNT: Alex Gibson (Chair), Angus Craig, Elaine McQuade (Secretary), Steven Izatt, PRESENT: Sandra Goldie (Councillor), Colette McGarva (Link Officer) Police Officer: S Ferguson & Another. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC: None. APOLOGIES: Andy Guthrie (Vice Chair), Roy Storie (Treasurer) Adoption of Minutes: Tue, 16th June 2015 Proposed: Seconded: Tue, 18th August 2015 Proposed: Seconded: Police Report : 15 x Incidents in all: Animals in road x 3/Misuse of ‘999’ system x 2/ Lost dog/Tree on road/Authorised shoot x 2/Hay bale on road/Males in car (Meteor shower/Car off road/Theft house breaking (Crime report Raised)/Theft shoplifting – Village shop (Crime report raised/Credit card fraud (Crime report raised). • Also asked if there was any update on 3B Construction yellow vans speeding in local area on A719 during teatime period but there was nothing to report. • Elaine McQuade (Sec) reported that there had been an incident in the ‘Kennedy Park’ recently with a couple of cars on the football pitches. They had taken down one of the posts to get onto the pitch and badly churned up the grass. PC Ferguson had not heard about the incident at this stage. Action: Elaine McQuade (Sec) – Find out who witnessed this incident as she was told someone in the village had taken photographs of the event and perhaps got details of number plate nos. Councillor’s Report: Councillor Goldie was present and the points raised were as follows: A) Local refuse collection may be changing their times of collection in the not too distant future. Evening collections have been spoken about in some areas. B) The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 has been updated. Empower community bodies through ownership of land and buildings and strengthening their voices in the decisions that matter to them and also to support an increase in the pace and scale of Public Service Reform by cementing the focus on achieving outcomes and improving the process of community planning. Action: In light of this Sandra Goldie (Councillor) was going to look into the ownership of both “Dunure Castle/Kennedy Park and Dunure Harbour. C) At last meeting we again mentioned the huge pot holes outside of No 12 Station Road, Dunure – Not only causing concern for the occupant of the home owner of No. 12 with noise levels and possibly setting off house alarm with the vibration but for the road users as they must cause damage to their vehicles when hitting this point in the road. D) Hedgerows down Station Road are getting out of hand once again. Action: Angus Craig (Community Councillor) and owner of land adjacent to Sewage works entrance will look into this also Sandra Goldie (Councillor). Link Officer’s Report: • Colette McGarva - Link Officer - With regard to Steve & Linda Izatt securing further funding (£4,950.00) to provide play apparatus/facilities for younger children in the park area at the end of Kennedy Drive. Having given each of the four conditions from SAC some serious consideration, the Members of the Community Council feel that: (1) Entering into a formal Contract with the Council to Lease the Land; and (2) Assuming responsibility for Public Liability Insurance (best Quotation received to date in excess of £300 per annum); and (3) Assuming responsibility for Annual lnspections (£75 per annum) and potential future Repairs & Maintenance (cost unknown); and (4) Assuming responsibility for all peripheral Health & Safety issues, is beyond the financial and other resource constraints within which we operate. We are now proposing to Mr John MacMillan - Learning & Development Initiatives -SAC to save losing funding , we are suggesting to put it towards new 2 x full size goal posts and 4 x half size goal posts within in the existing “Kennedy Park” area. Action: Steven Izatt drafting letter to Mr John MacMillan SAC and Elaine McQuade (Sec) to forward same. Once we have had approval from Mr MacMillan, Elaine will contact Janey McCreath, Secretary, Hall & Parks Committee for their approval too. • At the last meeting Mr Andrew Guthrie (Vice Chair) commented about the certain areas of land within the Kennedy Park that the grass was not getting cut eg. Land near Labyrinth/B-B-Q area/Stone bridge and near Buttefly Garden/Limekiln. Colette McGarva (Link Officer) had looked into this and had contacted Fiona Ross of the Parks Dept – SAC (Thea Petticrew now retired) and apparently if there are any areas with gradients over 30% they no longer cut them. • With regards to the Castle Burn, (needs clearing again to prevent flooding) – Colette asked if we knew for definite if SAC used to clear this on a regular basis? Action: Elaine McQuade (Sec) to contact Andy Guthrie (Vice Chair) as we think he will have knowledge of this. Matters Arising: • Alex Gibson (Chair) in the process of composing letters before our Sept/Oct Meeting with other local Committees such as: School/Parent’s Committe/Harbour Committee/Parks & Hall/ Youth Club and asking them if they would like to come along to our monthly meetings (Every third Tuesday in the month – except July and December) in the hope that we can share tasks such as litter picking around village/ beach/local vicinity and with a view to all pulling together and raising necessary funds for our village requirements and may be also to get more of the local community to get involved with NCCB. Action: Alex Gibson (Chair) Financial Report: Mr Roy Storie (Treasurer) will read this out. Correspondence: A.

Date of next meeting : Tuesday, 18th August 2015 (No Meeting held in July) DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, On: Tuesday, 19th May, 2015 at 7.30pm. SEDERUNT: Mr Alex Gibson (Vice Chair), Roy Storie (Treasurer), Andy Guthrie, Angus Craig, Steve Izatt, Elaine McQuade (Acting Secretary), PRESENT: Sandra Goldie (Councillor), Colette McGarva (Link Officer) and Dawn Parker (Community Engagement Officer, Health & Social Care), Police Officer: Alan McDowall MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC: Bill McKinlay APOLOGIES: Phil Findlay (Chair) Adoption of Minutes: Tue, 19th March , 2015 and Tue, 21st April 2015. March - Proposed: Alex Gibson (Chair) Seconded: Angus Craig April - Proposed: Roy Storie (Treasurer) Seconded: Andy Guthrie Police Report : 1x Domestic call and 3 x Assisting members of public. PC McDowall handed out information with regard to “Rural Watch” within the Community. Councillor’s Report: • Councillor Goldie had checked into Insurances for Community Council as we asked why the insurance cover had dropped from £10,000,000 to £5,000,000? Councillor Goldie said that our current insurance, £5,000,000 per annum, is perfectly adequate, the difference being, we do not need Employer Liability as we do not employ anybody (Re: Hall). • We all agreed that we had seen that pot holes on the A719 had been getting filled in which is certainly an improvement. • Roy Storie mentioned that now the hedgerows had been cut back on A719 it was revealing an enormous amount of roadside litter. Action: Councillor Sandra Goldie to contact necessary Department to clear up. • The GreatTapestry of Scotland Exhibition – Currently on show at Ayr Town Hall – On until 31st May 2015. • Prestwick “Air Show” – Taking place on 5th & 6th September 2015 – Low Green, Ayr. Link Officer’s Report: Colette McGarva, Link Officer - Our thanks to both Steve & Linda Izatt for securing further funding (£4,950.00) to provide play apparatus/facilities for younger children. Options now available would be: 1) Utilise this funding to provide play equipment at existing Kennedy Park, where SAC provide maintenance and insurance OR 2) Develop site at end of Kennedy Drive – this would involve lease agreement between Dunure Community Council (or another community group) and SAC. It would also mean taking responsibility for insurance and maintenance of the site. A vote was taken by the Community Councillors present and majority vote would prefer that newsletters/questionnaires get distributed first within the immediate vicinity in Kennedy Drive to see what response we receive back from the local community to see if the play area at the end of Kennedy Drive is likely to be used before we in fact arrive at a firm decision. Steve Izatt had already looked into figures for various insurances and with the apparatus being brand new it would cost approximately £300 - £350 per year for insurance and £50 per annum for inspection of the play area equipment. Although Dunure Community Council would possibly be able to fund this for the first year but thereafter we all thought maybe other local funding raising events could be organised through : Parent’s Committee/Youth Club/Supermarket bag fills, surely it could be possible to raise this small amount annually. Action: Steve Izatt making up newsletter Re: Possible Play Area at end of Kennedy Drive and distributing same within the immediate vicinity to see if people think that their families feel the need of this facility. Copies of newsletter/questionnaire will be posted on our Dunure Website/Local Notice boards/School and Shop for response by 05/06/2015 to enable Dunure Community Council to make a decision at the next meeting in June to see if this facility would be worthwhile to the local community. Station Road Pot Holes – Roy Storie mentioned to Colette that on numerous occasions we had reported about the huge pot holes after the railway bridge (Nr. 12 Station Road) . They are desperately needing to be filled as they could cause not only damage to vehicles coming through village but increasing noise levels in houses near by. Action: Colette McGarva will report to Roads Department Matters Arising: • Steve Izatt had been in touch with Owen Kerr Signs – Ayr, with regards to 3 x notice boards (School/Kennedy Park/Kennedy Drive, near Bus Terminus) we are hoping to purchase with funding received. (Approximately £734 per sign) Some of current posts would support old signs will be adequate to support new signage to help keep our costs down. Action: Steve Izatt enquiring further into this. • Morven Robertson – Re: Sustainable Fisheries Trust (SIFT) – Re: Campaign to make people aware of the fishing industry to revive Firth of Clyde. Still awaiting leaflets/Posters to distribute into Community to encourage interest for Presentation at forthcoming meeting. • Alex Gibson (Vice Chair) Is getting in touch before our June Meeting with other local Committees such as: School/Parent’s Committe/Harbour Committee/Parks & Hall/ Youth Club and asking them if they would like to come along to our monthly meetings (Every third Tuesday in the month – except July and December) in the hope that we can share tasks such as litter picking around village/ beach/local vicinity and with a view to all pulling together and raising necessary funds for our village requirements. Action: Alex Gibson (Vice Chair) • Now that our website is up and running – (www.dunure.net) we are posting our Minutes & Agenda on there and also copy will be put in local village shop/Fisherton Primary School for all members of the public to read. Ayr to Girvan Cycle/Footpath/Equestrian Talk Bill McKinlay gave a talk on the proposed potential of a cycle/footpath between Ayr and Girvan. Whilst realising this is an enormous task not only with funding alone of the project but with the current obstacles which are now obstructing the railway line eg. Craig Tara Caravan Park/Heads of Ayr Caravan Park/Farm land. This would be such a tremendous walkway to have on our doorsteps and such a huge bonus for adults and children alike to keep safe, keep fit at the same time and to enjoy the wonderful coastal landscape/wildlife. As a Community Council we all agreed that we would support this project in any way we could. Bill said that he would keep us in touch of the feasibility of this tremendous project if he hears anything further from South Ayrshire Council. Action: Steve Izatt said he would put information on our website to help spread the word with regard to this venture. South Ayrshire Health & Social Care Dawn Parker, Community Engagement Officer for South Ayrshire Health & Social Care came along to give us a talk on Locality Planning. The plan is driven by law, local and national policy and aims to meet the needs of the people of South Ayrshire now and in the future. Making better use of new technology, working within available financial and workforce resources and by tackling and offering early interventions with children and adults at risk or in need of protection. They are planning services in six ‘localities’ across 23 neighbourhoods in South Ayrshire. Having six localities means that services can be planned around, and respond to, local neighbourhood priorities and are of direct benefit to local people.

Link Officer’s Report 6. Matters Arising 7. Financial Report 8. Open Forum 9. Correspondence 10. Any Other Business 11. Date of next meeting : Tuesday, 19th May 2015 DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, On: Tuesday, 17th March 2015 at 7.30pm. SEDERUNT: Mr Alex Gibson (Vice Chair), Elaine McQuade (Acting Secretary), Angus Craig, Steven Izatt (Co-optee) PRESENT: Sandra Goldie (Councillor), Mrs Colette McGarva, (Link Officer) Police Officers: Graeme Gordon MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC: Alastair McLeod and Moira Kennedy. APOLOGIES: Phil Findlay (Chair), Roy Storie (Treasurer) and Andy Guthrie. Adoption of Minutes: Tue, 17th February, 2015 Proposed: Steve Izatt Seconded: Alex Gibson Police Report : No real crime reported. The only things that did happen were a) Silent 999 call and b) Nuisance quad bikes at Balig Farm. Councillor’s Report: • Councillor Goldie reported that she had still heard nothing back from Ayrshire Roads Alliance regarding the state of our roads and members of the Committee reiterated although we were pleased with the road resurfacing that had been done at the end of Station Road, (road above harbour) there were still many problems on the roads in the local vicinity and indeed on A719 that still need to be addressed. We just wanted to know how work is prioritised with the Roads Department, who checks quality of materials for each job to ensure job is carried out correctly/who inspects work once the job has been done etc. • Action : Councillor Goldie had said that she would contact Chief Executive Officer, Eileen Howat to try to get some answers for us, as Dunure Community Councillors feel that they are asking the same old questions month after month and getting no real answers to the road problems. Link Officer’s Report: • Regarding Funding £3,230.00 –( £1,000.00 of which is for play area) deposited in Dunure Community Council Bank Account for 3 x notice boards and apparatus for small play area in Kennedy Drive. Steve Izatt’s wife – Parent Council Committee, had emailed photo of play area site to SAC to confirm that this land belongs to them. Although the sum of money would be very much appreciated on investigating things further it was found out that with all the safety legislation safety rubber flooring would be required under the play apparatus and the cost of that alone would probably be £10,000. Colette McGarva, Link Officer then handed us paperwork relating to possible funding that we could apply for through SAC – Social Investment Scotland (SIS) has teamed up with Asda to launch a new fund aimed at supporting social enterprises to make the step change they need to increase their impact. Asda Community Capital will donate the funds arising from the bag change to support innovative social enterprises and community projects across Scotland. In what is a UK-first, the partnership with SIS will see half of the proceeds distributed through loans, helping third sector organisations who would otherwise find it difficult to get access to funding. Colette McGarva mentioned that there was a new children’s play area in Belleisle Park, which would certainly be a good one to remodel ours on. • Notice Boards – We asked Collette where we could source our new Notice Boards – she mentioned : David Ogilvy – Action: Elaine McQuade (Sec) will source to get some ideas of style and cost and will report back at next meeting. • Colette McGarva (Link Officer) confirmed that she had been in touch with Legal Department of SAC with regard to our role as a Community Council to clarify what our responsibilities and constraints were for us to actually make all the people on the Dunure Electoral Register and in the wider community aware of The Knoweside Wind Farm and their intentions and the meaning of the ACE Plan ( Ascertain, Coordinate and Express) . Colette confirmed we were doing all the right positive steps to engage with Community in preparing our newsletter and we did not need to include the broader spectrum eg. Tourists/non residential citizens/ visitors to area etc. • Dunure Electoral Register – Steve Izatt confirmed that he was now in possession of this after lots of communication backwards and forwards and after signing the legalities involved they allowed him to have it. Action: Steve Izatt - will now email this information onto Elaine McQuade (Sec) for safe keeping and in readiness to send out flyers/newsletters when the time comes. • Knoweside Windfarm Flyer - now ready to be sent – just waiting of word from SAC Planning Department. Matters Arising: • Dot Ward had been handed card and gift (Potted Orchid) as a token of Dunure Community Council’s appreciation as agreed and she was delighted with the gift and conveyed her thanks to us all. • Jean McGinn (former Secretary) is still to receive her Garden Centre Gift Vouchers as Roy Storie (Treasurer) thought that it would be a nice idea for all members to sign a card bearing in mind her many years of duty within Dunure Community Council and if Jean was in agreement to have a presentation at our next meeting in April. If she would prefer no fuss, Roy and Elaine will hand the Gift Vouchers into Jean at her home. • Hall & Park’s Meeting – Alex Gibson (Vice Chair) and Elaine McQuade (Sec) attended meeting which took place on Tuesday, 10th March 2015, where Alex gave a very detailed talk and updated them on Knowside Wind Farm also NCCB. Alex also mentioned that we were intending to deliver flyers to everyone on the Voter’s Electoral list within the Dunure Community Ward. Janey McCreath (Chair) of Hall & Parks suggested that we should add a front page to our current flyer to attract attention; not only to try to make them aware of what is happening within their community, but attempt to make them realise that their views count and that their support within the local community would be very much appreciated. • Proposed Railway Walk/Cycle Path. Mr Bill McKinlay has been in touch with regard to giving a talk on proposed Walk/Cycle Path. He is now hoping to attend our April Meeting. Action: Elaine McQuade will keep in touch. • Website – (www.dunure.net) - Steve Izatt has now set this up. Everyone thought this was very well set up. Steve hoping to keep this up-dated on a regular basis with relevant information relating to Dunure. • Elaine McQuade (Sec) informed meeting about the issue of being inundated with various emails not necessary relating to us. She will endeavour to filter emails and send out only ones that are relevant to us. Also now that website up and running, Elaine will be sending Steve Izatt adopted Minutes of Meetings to be put on the website for general public to read. • Future Flyers/Notices etc.: Moira McLeod kindly volunteered that if any notices, flyers were required in the future that she would be happy to help design them. • Forthcoming Community Council Elections: - Steve Izatt confirmed that he had received his necessary form currently being a Co-optee and completed same to enable him to become full Community Council member. Elaine McQuade (Sec) confirmed that she had given the Community Council Election notices to Andy Guthrie. In turn, Andy will place same into the two current notice boards that we have available (Harbour & Kennedy Drive). Elaine has placed one in the local Food Store. There are spaces for three new members, including that of Steve Izatt becoming a full member. The necessary forms to can be obtained from all existing Councillors. • Funding: Steve Izatt had been in touch with Ailsa Horizons just to put out feelers regarding possible funding for new village hall. • Brown Signs: It was also suggested that it would be a good idea to have brown signs on the main road (A719) at each end of village to encourage general public/tourists into our village indicating the historical interests eg. 13th Century Castle. • Community Council Meetings: It would be a good idea to invite members of Hall & Parks Committee, Dunure Harbour Committee, Parent’s Council Committee / School and local Church to our monthly meetings with a view to all pulling together and raising necessary funds for our village requirements.

It was also made clear from NCCB that they were still looking for Directors from each of the Communities involved (12 x Members from each Community, 3 of which to be Directors). Phil Findlay (Chair – DCC) is no longer listed by Companies House as a Director of NCCB. At this point Alex Gibson, Steve Izatt, Alastair McLeod and Angus Craig were proposed and seconded by members as members for NCCB. Angus Craig, Steven Izatt and Alex Gibson are considering becoming Directors of NCCB to represent the DCC on the board of this company. It was announced that next NCCB Meeting for Directors was being held at: Carrick Centre, Maybole on Wednesday, 25th March, 2015 at 7.00 pm. During an informal discussion on the evening on the 11th March 2015, Mr Izatt and Mr Gibson were given some speculation as to Bank Renewables involvement in the proposed Wind Farm on Knoweside Hill. Action: Alastair McLeod (Member of Public) said that he would contact Callum Whiteford, Development Relations Co-ordinator at Bank Renewables to see if there was any truth in the matter. Meeting closed at 9.05 pm. Date of next meeting: Tuesday, 21st April 2015.
