Cllr Macgregor<\/p>\n

17 members of the public were present.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Welcome and Apologies<\/strong><\/p>\n

E.Scott opened the meeting.<\/p>\n

There were apologies from W.Buchan, Cllr Riches, Cllr Scott Hayward and D.Palmer.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Public Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.1 Residents from Queen Margaret Street expressed their concern about the newly installed gate at the entrance to the recently resurfaced garage site. Their\u00a0 first concern was that they had received no information from FC prior to the installation of the gate. It is believed that the gate was asked for by a resident worried about some drivers ” racing ” round the garages and causing risk, and damaging the road surface. However, other residents do not think there is such a problem, and the addition of a gate will only cause problems of access to the garages by garage owners and difficulty in turning at the end of Queen Margaret Street.<\/p>\n

G.Brown suggested a compromise of moving the gate to the far end of the garages which would mean that vehicles could not drive right round garages, but easy access would still be available to garage owners and turning vehicles.<\/p>\n

Cllr Macgregor took a note of concerned residents’ contact details and will ask relevant FC officials to contact them to try to secure a solution to the problem which the residents say has been an ongoing issue for about 5 years.<\/p>\n

2.2 Several residents from Abercrombie asked why they had not received allotment questionnaires. Members of CC apologised and told them that it was an unfortunate oversight. They were issued with questionnaire forms and asked to return them asap and we would adjust the response results accordingly. Cllr Macgregor is going to ask Fiona Mitchell if a notice board could be funded and erected in Abercrombie to help ensure that they are kept up to date with local issues. In the short term R Craib said that she would email M.Ashworth any updates on ongoing issues and events.<\/p>\n

2.3 Eleanor Anderson asked if inset “cave” area on the path leading to the church from Braehead could be tidied up before Sea Queen Day. It was stated that there was no village money available to do this and it would need to be done by volunteers, although Cllr Macgregor will ask if FC would perhaps do this and also cut the overgrown hedge. Mrs Anderson is still keen to see a plaque erected about the possible history of the cave, and a bench.<\/p>\n

2.4 Fiona Wright, playleader from St Monans Playgroup, introduced herself to the CC. She is keen to encourage good communications. If she sends information to G.Brown he will put it on the website.<\/p>\n
