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.

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.
