Parking at the school is still an issue.
The school is organising a ‘walking train' in the coming months, and Reg will report back on this initiative.

A Health & Safety notice is to be distributed around the school to warn of the hazards associated with dog waste.
It was suggested that there might be an alternative design of dog bin that prevents the removal of the contents. Ian to check it out.

Some drivers are still ignoring the one-way sign at the car park by the Chinese. Better signs ‘painted' on the road may resolve the problem.
|
|
|
|
There have been reports of traffic from the Westhill road cutting out the Kingswells roundabout at peak times by rat running through the Park & Ride and going against the one-way system.
Reg reported that he has not detected anyone yet.

Reg is trying to get somewhere in the community centre to leave his equipment. This will allow him to start and end his shift in Kingswells, without the need to use Bucksburn. This will make better use of Reg's time.

The report was proposed by Alan and seconded by Alex
|
|
|
|
The accounts have been audited.
Charles Lowe asked that the monies for the Small Grant be clearly identified in the accounts, and advised that the money should be spent in one year or it may be cut in following years.
The deposit for the CCTV has been paid from the grant.
It was agreed with Charles that the Community Project fund which was setup with money donated by Westhill Roundtable to pay for the Plaques at the East Dyke was not part of KCC funds and need not be submitted to ACC.

There was no AOCB for the AGM.

Welcome To Kingswells Signs: ACC have identified some issues with this project. Ian to seek some clarification before the project can be progressed..
One of the proposed sites for a sign is on land maintained by a resident's association. Gillian Millar is to be consulted regarding this sign to determine if the RA will have any issues.

One shopkeeper has identified the he is not willing to contribute to cleaning up the village centre. This could jeopardise the continuation of this project. Stan is to feed back when the next payment is due.
KCC was disappointed with the views taken considering the cost is only £10 / week and the shopkeeper is clearly mistaken with the view that the service should be covered by fees paid to ACC and the Factor.

Stan was asked to encourage shops to fund the remaining hanging baskets.

Data Protection: There was discussion about whether KCC actually held any information that would be covered by DP. It was thought not, but John would check out.
This would be an issue for the Community Council Forum.
