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.

MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 18 January 2011 IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, AT 7.30PM
SEDERUNT:
Mr Phil Findlay(Chair); Mr Roy Storie(Treasurer); Mrs Jean McGinn, (Secretary) Mr Rod Kruse; Mrs Dorothy Ward.
IN ATTENDANCE: Councillor Mairi Low; Councillor Sandra Goldie; Mrs Mgt Masterman, P C Kevin Kirk.

3. POLICE REPORT: Only one reported incident in the area over the previous two months.
4. COUNCILLORS’ REPORT: Again discussed the condition of the roads with Councillor Goldie but while she will do what she can regarding the pothole adjacent to Fisherton School, and other areas, she feels sure we are aware of the lack of funding for the roads generally.
An email was received by her from SWS in reply to her query about the ongoing problem with the temporary fence at the entrance to the Waste Water Treatment Works. Alan Ferguson of Scottish Water states they have no further interest in this and suggests we contact the owner of the land.
Councillor Mairi Low was asked to try and get British Legion on board with the Remembrance Sunday laying of wreaths as there has been a problem of non-communication here over the last two or three years.
Mr Findlay asked the Councillors to query a proposal by the Government re the capping of fuel prices in remote and rural areas.
Secretary again has had an email from David Squires who is concerned about the brown Carrick View Indicator. The brass plate has been removed at some time and Mr Squires would like to know who is responsible for maintenance etc.
5. LINK OFFICER’S REPORT: Mrs Petticrew was absent and there were no issues to bring up.
6.. MATTERS ARISING:
Lighthouse - As the Harbour Association have not made any progress towards a “lighthouse” subcommittee, and Mr Storie’s letter to the Chairman has been unanswered, Secretary will again write asking their intentions.
Because the Harbour will be 200 years old this year, Mrs Ward is holding a meeting in Kennedy Hall on Friday 28 January to generate interest in a special celebration of the harbour, and hopes there will be a good turn out to her meeting. She has distributed flyers throughout the village.
Community Hall Account - Kennedy Hall & Park Committee are at the moment applying for more funding towards this from Ayrshire Leader.
Website - Mr Kruse has now minutes up to date and we are considering what other content we may upload.
7. FINANCIAL REPORT: The balance at 11 January 2011 amounts to £453.14Transactions during the previous month - £25.00 contribution to Fisherton Primary Newsletter.
Community Hall Account £2494.64.
