9.3 Report of overflowing bins and rubbish lying. W.Buchan to contact Waste Aware. A reminder was given that anyone can contact Waste Aware and it is better to do it as soon as the problem is spotted. Our experience is that Waste Aware respond quickly and efficiently to requests.

Some extra suggestions were given to him to look into.

9.5 Heritage Centre.

Since the lease for the Heritage Centre building ran out last year, we are leasing it on a yearly basis at currently £2300 per annum. As there is a possibility that this lease could be terminated if the owner decided to sell the property, other options need to be investigated. The Green Door café is Station road is currently being put up for sale by FC. G.Brown is to contact FC to ask if there may be a chance of leasing that instead as a home for the Heritage Collection

9.6 Village Information Map replacement. A graphic designer who has a house in the village has offered to make a new map for £857.

He could also redo boards at the Salt Pans, Windmill and a potential new board about Miller’s boatyard.

Samples of his work were circulated and received positively. G. Brown will now ask him to provide drawings.
