The funeral will be on Monday at 1.30 pm and thereafter an interment at the graveyard. Mrs Salvage said that a wreath on behalf of the Community Council and the Sea Queen Committee would be sent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.2\u00a0\u00a0 Community Police Report<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Secretary noted that both PC Gillian Tetlow and PC Lee Robb had sent their apologies. However, they had provided him with a brief update which he read out. Regarding the regarding recent break-ins, all enquiries indicate that the perpetrators had come from outside Fife. They are still working on the drugs issue and are dealing with the people involved robustly. Mr. Morris noted that the Crime Prevention Officers had attended the Fish Sheds that day, as they had had two break-ins. He said that they had talked about issues regarding close-circuit television.<\/p>\n<p>It was also noted that the Community police officers would like to consider adopting the &#8220;Cops and Coffee&#8221; initiative that was being rolled out in other parts of Fife. Officers would drop into the local caf\u00e9 and be available for members of the community to come and speak to them. The scheme is fundamentally about interacting with the community and getting to know residents. PC Tetlow had asked for the community\u2019s view on implementing this initiative. Mrs Salvage noted her concern that the residents who are having the problems with anti-social behaviour would not come. However, Mr Collier considered the local caf\u00e9 as a good venue for other residents to go along. Mrs Salvage also advised that PC Tetlow had asked if the police could be notified of any community coffee mornings or evenings. Mrs Syme considered this as a positive idea, noting that the police also attend the Waid Community Cafe &#8211; she thought once a month &#8211; which provided another option for people to meet the police. Mrs Salvage was still concerned that people would be afraid to be seen with the Police. However after further discussion, it was agreed that the Community Council would support this initiative, and monitor its progress.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Salvage agreed to take on the role of advising the Community Police Officers of any upcoming coffee mornings and evenings.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Collier said that the Community Safety Officer has not yet spoken to the owners of the Vets practice or any of the harbour-front businesses. He said that there are things that they can do for them, for example the introduction of CCTV within their properties. With regard to CCTV, Cllr Porteous had been in touch with the owners of the Netherton Estates and they were looking to meet with their tenants to discuss CCTV because it was private land.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Morris asked that the Community Council noted its appreciation and thanks to PCs Gillian Tetlow and Robb for the work and support they had provided to everyone over the past few months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.3\u00a0\u00a0 Bin collections at Back of Miller Terrace &amp; Forth Street<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr Morris said that he had not received a letter or seen anybody regarding this. Cllr J Docherty said that he would chase it up and get a written response.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.4\u00a0\u00a0 Water facilities, Parking at Cemetery Gates, Rotting Bridge Struts and Footpaths in Churchyard<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Acknowledging the efforts of Mr Gordon Bell, Mr Copland noted the Community Council had established Fife Council funding to improve the water facilities at the cemetery. Cllr Docherty said that he had previously passed on contact details for both Mr Copland and Mr Morris and was disappointed to hear that no-one from the Council had been in touch. A member of the public asked if anyone had been digging for water, because there is a leak at the car park side of the gate.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Copland also asked if any information had been received from Council officials at Transportation regarding imposing a weight limit for the bridge. Cllr Docherty said that he would raise this again when he went round the site with the Council Officers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.5\u00a0\u00a0 Possible Sites for Defibrillators<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gillian Duncan (from the First Responders charity) has provided an update on the price of a defibrillator unit to Mrs Salvage. We are still looking to have this\u00a0\u00a0 located on the Harbour Master&#8217;s Office.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.6\u00a0\u00a0 Gully cleaning in and around Abercrombie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cllr Porteous has raised a request for this cleaning to be completed, together with a time schedule to complete. He had also received an email back from Council officials about the damaged wall next to the farm building. The response acknowledged the problem, but did not deal with those issues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.7\u00a0\u00a0 Grit bins located throughout the villages<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cllr Porteous has identified where all the grit bins used to be and had sent an email to Council officials asking for them to be reinstated. He said that all three Councillors would have to fight for this as Council policy had been to remove them. A member of the public raised a concern that the emergency services would not go down Station Road if it is icy. Mr Copland queried if there was any potential legal liability on the Council following the removal of these bins. Cllr Porteous was unsure on this point, but would raise it and continue to make the case for their return.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.8\u00a0\u00a0 Dangerous Pothole opposite 18 Station Road<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A member of the public noted that this pothole had now been fixed. Unfortunately, a new dangerous pothole had appeared at the Crossroads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.9\u00a0\u00a0 Poor condition of St Monans bus shelter\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cllr Porteous continues to pursue this with Fife Council. A complication in identifying some budget to repair the shelter is due to the fact that the number 95 bus service is subsidized, and therefore is covered by a number of different Council departments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.10\u00a0\u00a0 Potholes on the vennel between Rose St and Miller Terrace<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cllr Holt continues to pursue Fife Council regarding ownership of the footpath. She also noted that the Council administration had just published its proposed budget cuts and was looking for officials to come up with proposals to save money. She said that there is a budget for fixing un-adopted footpaths which was now being proposed to be cut. We therefore needed to push Fife Council quickly to see if they can fix the footpath before this budget goes. She is also pressing for the official council map which details all adopted and un-adopted roads. Cllr Porteous said he had also asked for the Vennel to be fixed, but that Council officials were continuing to take the stance that the footpath was not theirs.<\/p>\n<p>A member of the public, who regularly uses the vennel, thanked the Councillors for their efforts. Cllr Porteous confirmed that he would write again as this was still a concern to both local residents and the Community Council. Mr Copland asked if the member of the public and his neighbours could also write in jointly to complain. He also asked other residents who regularly used the vennel to do so. Mrs Syme said that she used it to deliver the mail in the area and would raise the issue with local Royal Mail management to see what representations they could make to the Council.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Copland also suggested that a petition could be organized so that people could sign it to confirm that they regularly use the vennel. The resident concerned agreed that he would arrange for such a petition to created.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.11\u00a0\u00a0 Parking on Station Road<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cllr Porteous advised that he continued to follow this up , but had not been given authority from Fife Council to place large plant boxes on the pavement by the junction (to try to prevent illegal parking). Unfortunately, the Council official who he had been dealing with this was moving roles. Cllr Porteous thanked parents and others who own cars for parking sensibly at the Top Shop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.12\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Community log book for antisocial behaviour reports<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr Bridges asked if there had been many reports received in the Community log Book. Mr Collier advised that there were possibly two phone calls. He also noted that he had been approached by someone regarding a disturbance at 3am that morning, where a person was previously arrested. It was suggested that the police were too busy to respond. There was then a general discussion regarding how often the Community Council was forwarding the information from this log. Cllr Porteous suggested that the information should be given to Inspector Jane Combe. A member of the public described an incident with drug users in Station Road and said that there was an attempted break-in in Newark Street. Neither had been reported to the police. Mrs Salvage said that people were still a little suspicious of using the local number and log book. However, she agreed to get the message (to report all incidents) out on Facebook. Mr Collier reminded everyone that the log is not restricted to phone calls and emails. He also confirmed he would be happy to take on the management of the log.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Copland suggested promoting the community contact number and logging incidents to the local primary school. Mrs Ironside (who also sits on the local PTA) agreed that this was worth exploring, although Cllr Porteous noted some caution in doing this. It was agreed that the primary school headmistress should be approached on how to take this forward. Mrs Salvage agreed to do this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.13\u00a0\u00a0 Community Council Election and contacting members<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr Copland thanked the residents for the relatively high turnout to vote in the Community Council elections. He noted that both his and the Secretary\u2019s contact details are on the website. The St Monans website lists all the Community Councillors. Mrs Salvage said that in the past contact details of the Community Council members were also kept in the Library, Gerrards Post Office, and the Top Shop. There is also a dedicated email address to contact the Community Council. However, it was agreed that a group picture of the new Community Council members would be useful for including on the website. Mr Bridges agreed to contact Mr David Smith, local photographer, to arrange this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.14\u00a0\u00a0 Community Action Plan (\u2018CAP\u2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr Bridges said that the Steering Group was still working on the producing the final report. Although the aspiration had been to have it published by the end of October, Mr Bridges advised that an end November release date was probably more realistic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.15\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Changes to the Provision at St Andrews Community Hospital<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cllr Docherty has been urging Community Councils and residents to put in objections to the proposed changes. He also urged perpel to complete the objection cards which were widely available. The cards are being delivered to Fife Council on 18 November. Cllr Holt advised that the Councillors had secured a special meeting of the North East Fife Area Committee, to which Michael Kellet, Director of Health and Social Care, had been invited. He is going to answer questions from Councillors at 2.30 pm on Thursday 25 October, at Fife Council County Buildings Cupar. The public can attend this meeting.<\/p>\n<p>It was noted that there were local GPs who had expressed their willingness to staff the Out-of-Hours Service at St Andrews. Cllr Holt hoped that the GPs would attend the meeting as a deputation. She also said that GPs are concerned about the change in the number of community beds. Mrs Salvage agreed to put details of the meeting on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Cllr Porteous said that the three Councillors have been as one regarding this issue. Mrs Syme thanked all the Councillors for their contribution to the public meeting at Anstruther.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.16\u00a0\u00a0 Overgrown Banking at the Burn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was due to be done. A member of the public complained that the Council had not completely cut back foliage from the common area below Braehead. Cllr Docherty advised that this would be in line with Fife Council policy to be as environmentally friendly as possible by leaving some small areas to revert to wilderness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.17\u00a0\u00a0 MacMillan Coffee Morning\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was noted that just under \u00a31100 had been raised.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.18\u00a0\u00a0 Fencing on Right of Way<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cllr Docherty advised that this was on-going.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.19\u00a0\u00a0 Trees on Offer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mrs Porteous observed that before we obtain and plant any tree saplings, it would be necessary to identify places for them to be planted. Mr Buchan agreed to look into suggestions and ideas as to where the trees should go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.20\u00a0\u00a0 Damaged Wall in Abercrombie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mrs Ashworth confirmed that the Council have not contacted the farm in relation to this matter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.21\u00a0\u00a0 Sign Missing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mrs Ashworth also advised that the \u2018Not Suitable for Large Vehicles\u2019 sign had not been replaced. However, she noted that the missing sign had not exacerbated the problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.22\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Provision of a traffic mirror at Braehead and Hope Place Junction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cllr Porteous has raised this request. To date, there has been no response from the relevant Council department other than an acknowledgement that they are investigating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.23\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One-way system up through the Dawsie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This suggestion has also been raised with Fife Council. However, it was noted that this was a complex request, requiring considerable planning and approvals. It was suggested that a \u2018Not Suitable for Heavy Vehicles\u2019 sign should be erected at both ends of the Dawsie. Cllr Porteous would pass on this suggestion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.24\u00a0\u00a0 Metal shard protruding at the West Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mrs Salvage said that the official at Fife Council, Moir Gibson, had been in contact with her and would reposition the metal plate. However, a member of the public had also been in contact with Mr Gibson stated that his understanding was that the plate would remain in place, but that the council would cut it down in size to make the top safe. The department is still to set a date to undertake the work.<\/p>\n<p>The adoption of the minutes from the previous meeting was then proposed by Mrs Salvage (seconded by Mr Buchan) and agreed.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Chairperson\u2019s Report<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Chairs report had been covered earlier in the meeting.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Secretary\u2019s Report<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>5.1 Armistice day Centenary Anniversary <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr Bridges said that following agreement with the Estate Manager at Balcaskie, the beacon would be on the private land at the top of the car park adjacent to the war memorial. Members of the public would be able to view the beacon from the car park side. Balcaskie will provide some felled trees for the fire, but Mr Bridges appealed for other contributions of wood from residents. However he did request that full pallets would not be acceptable as the nails in them provided difficulties for the farmers equipment. The beacon will be lit at 7 pm. The church bell would be rung at 7.05pm. A piper has been organised for the beginning of the day and for the act of remembrance itself. It was noted that the St Monans and Abercrombie event would follow the national commemoration plan in all aspects except having a town Crier. A member of the public noted that St Monans used to have one.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Bridges also stated that he was in discussions with the Royal Air force Cadets concerning a bugler. If the RAF they didn\u2019t respond positively, he would contact the music department at Waid Academy. He said he had approached the Police and would contact the Fire Service. The Community Choir are singing at the Church before the lighting of the beacon.<\/p>\n<p>There was a brief discussion, after a question by Mrs Ashworth, regarding the best time to build the beacon. It was agreed that the beacon should be built as close to the event as possible to avoid any acts of vandalism.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Salvage noted that we are now too late to order a full-size normal wreath for the Community Council. Mrs Ashworth also noted that the Guides are going to Elie for their 11 o\u2019clock ceremony. Mrs Salvage asked if there were any other people who would want to be involved in the ceremony and Mr Bridges suggested possibly the Royal British Legion. Although there was some doubt about their availability, a member of the public noted that there is a branch in Crail and in Cupar. Mrs Syme also suggested the OTC members in St Monans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.2\u00a0\u00a0 Removal of bunting from streets <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr Bridges advised that he had received an email from a resident who asked when the bunting would be taken down. She was concerned of insurance liability for any damage to her guttering. Mrs Salvage said that although the Sea Queen committee had arranged to put it up, she said it was up to the Arts Festival committee to take the bunting down. Mr Morris and Mr Collier said that they would attend to this at the weekend \u2013 weather permitting.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong> Treasurer\u2019s Report<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>None.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong> Planning matters<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Chair is still waiting for the developer to contact him with further details concerning their plans for the land to the west of the Manse.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong> Councillor Updates<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>8.1 Recycling Site Changes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cllr Holt advised that there would be further changes regarding the recycling sites. Any vehicle disposing of household waste using a trailer will be asked to fill in a declaration and bring proof of identification such as a driving licence. There will be no pedestrian access to the recycling sites from 1 January.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong> Public Questions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>9.1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Dawsie \u2013 needing to be resurfaced<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A member of the public said that the Dawsie is needing resurfaced; it is a disgrace and is dangerous. Members of the public were encouraged to write in can complain to the Council and if possible provide photographic evidence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Railings on Station Road pavement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A member of the public complained that these continue to deteriorate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Family in need of a house in St Monans<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A member of the public raised a concern about a local family, with two children at the primary school, who were soon to be evicted from their long-term lease, but which was suddenly revoked.\u00a0\u00a0 Despite looking everywhere in St Monans and the surrounding area, they could not find any long term rental property. The family are naturally very upset about leaving St Monans. The member of the public was concerned that this was very practical and upsetting example of family homes being turned into holiday lets. She suggested that Truro council had the authority to prohibit the sale of a house if it was not going to be used as a holiday let.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Copland said that this was a matter for the Scottish parliament as it would require primary legislation. Cllr Holt said that Fife Council didn\u2019t have the same statutory powers as Truro. However, there is a Bill currently going through the Scottish Parliament which might provide local authorities with some powers to address the challenges of second homes. However, this wouldn\u2019t address the immediate problem. Due to the imminent threat to the young family concerned, Mr Bridges suggested whether it would be possible to appeal to the owners of second property\/ rental homes to could come forward to help the family concerned by providing them with a long term lease rather than short holiday let. Mrs Salvage said that the difficulty with that suggestion was that many of the holiday lets were booked up for months ahead. Cllr Porteous agreed with Mr Bridges, stating it was worth widening their plight and that there may be someone within the community who had a second home and would prefer a regular income.<\/p>\n<p>Regrettably, Mr Copland concluded that there was very little practical help that the Community Council could provide. All he could suggest was for the family to raise the matter with Fife Council housing department. Cllr Porteous said that he had already done that on their behalf.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong> Any other competent business<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>10.1\u00a0\u00a0 Damage to the MUGA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr Buchan queried if there was any update from the Council about repairing the MUGA. Cllr Porteous replied that he was waiting for a response. He also noted that a tennis coach had recently moved into St Monans and that the coach and the local Primary School head were now keen to use the MUGA for school tennis lessons.<\/p>\n<p>A member of the public noted that some youths had been biking inside the MUGA. It was decided to ask Fife Council to erect a sign saying how to use the Tennis Courts. Mr Copland agreed to follow this up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.2 Damage to a Fence at Abercrombie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mrs Ashworth noted that there had been more damage to local fencing with a car going through it in the last 3 weeks (between Abercrombie and Sawmill Corner). It is being reported.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.3\u00a0\u00a0 Inconsiderate Parking around the Primary School<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mrs Ironside has been approached by a member of the public concerning parking outside the school, especially at pick-up time. Children were in danger of getting injured. The PTA and the Community Police Officers have been attempting to resolve this, but with limited success. Previously there was a \u201cwalking bus\u201d introduced, but the response had been very poor. It was therefore suggested that the Council be approached to make the road a one-way system. Cllr Docherty agreed to take more details of this issue and investigate the matter further.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Problems with Postal Deliveries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In response to a question from Mrs Ashworth about recent poor postal deliveries within the area, Mrs Syme advised that it was a local staffing issue at the Post Office.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.5\u00a0\u00a0 Bush Affecting Visibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr Morris noted that he had reported an overgrown bush on council land, beside the Vets practice, that blocked the line of vision for drivers. It has been reported.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.6\u00a0\u00a0 Procedure for purchasing Common Ground<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A member of the public asked if anybody could purchase Common Ground without Fife Council or neighbours being notified. She suggested that Fife Council did not know anything about this particular piece of ground and had provided planning permission to build on it. She visited the Land Registry in 2013 to confirm that this was common land and had a copy of the relevant schedule. She also noted that she had papers from the old St Monans Town Council saying that residents could hang out washing there.<\/p>\n<p>It was suggested that it was probably a matter for the Councillors to take up with the Councils Legal department.
