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.
