Alan will discuss the format of the police report with the Inspector. The expectation was a more user friendly format, the latest report is the old format – mainly stats.

Matters Arising (not covered below)
|
|
|
|
Maintenance of the land around the Buckburn valley.

Broadband 21st Century connection may not take place because of problems at the exchange.
|
|
|
|
Village Maintenance: Barrie has been in touch with Co-op side of the centre and has not been able to make progress.
It was thought that the lease for the shops was likely to be repair / maintenance (for the building) type where the shops would be responsible for everything else.
|
|
|
|
The welcome to Kingswells Signs will be planted out around the base of the signs.
|
|
|
|
There was some discussion re the West 1 development. It was decided to continue to monitor the work.

KCC noted the publicity that Steve Delany from Sheddocksley Community Council had obtained in the media re the Lang Stracht. This is something KCC should consider in the future.

It was noted that Aberdein Considine were moving and there would be a hole in the funding for the village cleaning project. This could be accepted for a short time – until the shop was re-let.
|
|
|
|
It was noted that football matches generated litter. The KCC view was that the football organisers should take responsibility for cleaning this up.
|
|
|
|
Derbeth Grange has a problem with water running across the road, then collecting at the sleeping policemen. It was thought that Scottish Water would be responsible for this type of thing. Colleen is to report the matter.

The Prime Four development has been quiet as the developer has been involved in preparing a Masterplan.
There will be a public consultation on the Hub later this year.
