DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL

MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 16 February 2010. IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, AT 7.30PM.

1. SEDERUNT: Mr Adam Montgomerie; Mrs Jean McGinn, Mr Roy Storie, Mr Rod Kruse; Mrs Margaret Masterman

IN ATTENDANCE: Councillor Sandra Goldie; Mrs Thea Petticrew (Link Officer)

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC:

APOLOGIES: Mr A Guthrie; PC John Hamil.

2. Adoption of minutes for meeting of Tuesday 19 January 201

Proposed: Mr R Kruse. Seconded: Mrs Margaret Masterman. (As we did not have a quorum at the beginning of the meeting, the minutes were not adopted until Mrs Masterman arrived later on in the meeting.

3. POLICE REPORT: P C John Hamil phoned with his apologies but reported that there had been no incidents since the previous meeting. Any problems we have should be passed on to him.

4. COUNCILLOR’S REPORT: Councillor Goldie handed out copies of the Chief Executive’s Bulletin in which he sets out the way forward for South Ayrshire Council. We could report that there had been a bit of repair work done on the A719 (large potholes at school etc) but the whole surface area of the road south of the Farm Park is in very poor condition and beginning to disintegrate. Councillor Goldie spoke of the diversion on the A70 as work will be ongoing for about a month between the Holmston and Dobbies roundabouts. The road via Oswald Bridge is particularly bad. The same could be said for the whole country after the severe winter, the roads having been neglected for some time.

5. LINK OFFICER’S REPORT: Mrs Petticrew is now in a position where the council will pay for the materials for the Labyrinth Steps (Community Service will undertake the work) and all Mr Guthrie has to get a grant for is the railing leading down to the labyrinth. This railing must be properly secured to the rock and may need to get advice on this.

Mr Storie commented on the poor condition of the lay-by at the Cemetery which is being eroded by large vehicles. Mrs Petticrew will speak with Ms Linton and ask her to have a look at this.

6. MATTERS ARISING

Ÿ Labyrinth: This was discussed with Mrs Petticrew and will leave the matter with Mr Guthrie..

Ÿ Wall bordering Kennedy Park at junction with Kennedy Drive: ~There is nothing further to report here at the moment as Mrs McCreath (Kennedy Hall & Park Committee is in touch with the two Insurance Companies. Mrs Petticrew would like to be updated as and when there is anything mfurther to report here.

Ÿ CCCF are now holding their meetings on second Tuesday of the month in Girvan, and Mr Montgomerie will try and attend some of these meetings. Copies of the Agenda and Minutes of previous meeting have been given to Mr Montgomerie.

DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL

MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 17 November 2009 IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, AT 7.30PM.


1. SEDERUNT: Mr Adam Montgomerie; Mrs Jean McGinn, Mr Andrew Guthrie;
Mrs Margaret Masterman, Mr Angus MacLeod.

IN ATTENDANCE: Councillor Sandra Goldie;

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC:

APOLOGIES: Mr Philip Findlay; Mr Roy Storie; Mr Rod Kruse; Mrs Thea Petticrew.

2. Adoption of minutes for meeting of Tuesday 20 October 2009
Proposed by Mrs M Masterman. Seconded Mr A Guthrie.

3. POLICE REPORT: No report available at this time.

4. COUNCILLOR’S REPORT: Councillor Goldie reported there has been a poor response to the Council’s Community Conversations held in various venues throughout South Ayrshire. Mr Guthrie suggested the title and format may have put some people off from attending these meetings. It was reported to Councillor Goldie that part of Station Road had been repaired but it was pointed out that there was a very large hole on the main A719 adjacent to school (at the bottom of Coal Pit Road).
We have been concerned about the lack of information from British Legion of their attendance at the War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday and advised Councillor Goldie of this. It turned out after Rev Arrick Wilkinson arranging a short laying of wreaths at 2pm, the British Legion had turned up at 1pm without any indication of this to the village or indeed the minister.

5. OPEN FORUM: No members of the public were present.

6. MATTERS ARISING:
Ÿ Labyrinth: We have two applications for grants but no estimate as yet from Mrs Petticrew.
Ÿ Wall at Kennedy Park. Mr Storie commented (in his absence) that the wall had not been repaired very satisfactorily. Will pass this on to Mrs Petticrew but coincidentally there has been a further area of wall damaged adjacent to the newly repaired part.
Ÿ Balig Planning Application: This was delayed until 23 November, but we advised Ms Buchanan it was doubtful if we could have a representative at this meeting.
Ÿ Remembrance Sunday: Mr Montgomerie laid the wreath as agreed but as previously recorded it is unsatisfactory that we cannot get proper information from the British Legion on their attendance.
Ÿ Sewage Seepage in Kennedy Park. This has been cleared by Scottish Water but as there is obviously some underlying problem here, Kennedy Hall & Park Committee will contact Scottish Water for an investigation into this problem.

7. FINANCIAL REPORT:
Administration Account Balance at 17 November 2009 - £470.66

Ÿ Labyrinth: Mr Guthrie confirmed that the barbecue held on 22 September was a success in spite of showery weather. He was delighted with the evening and thanks everyone for their help and support throughout the construction and at the barbecue. Mrs Petticrew confirms there may be a problem (Health and Safety) with the steps leading down to the barbecue and is awaiting a report on this. She hopes to have this to hand for the next meeting.

Ÿ Limekiln Sign: This will be put in place when Mr Findlay has the time.

Ÿ Wall at Kennedy Park. Mrs Petticrew will hope to have money at a later date to repair this wall, as there is no point in now pursuing the Tow Truck Company due to the length of time since the accident. It is hoped that the wall does not deteriorate any further during the winter months.

Ÿ Balig Planning Application: There is now an application for two caravans at the farm and as Mr Guthrie objected to this originally he will try and attend the planning committee meeting on 16 September. Nothing further to report on the larger caravan park application.

Ÿ Castle: A report has been prepared by the Structural Engineer and Mrs Petticrew confirms that a certain amount of repairs will be carried out on railings and has also ordered signs - “Danger, no access beyond this point” etc. As it was part of the conditions at the time of the castle consolidation that the castle was to be accessible to the public, this is the best that can be done.

Ÿ Mrs Bolton expressed her thanks for the time we gave to her at the last meeting and to the help from Councillor Goldie.

Ÿ A letter of thanks was received from the artist who benefited from the prize awarded to her by the Community Council at the recent Dunure Art Club show.
