Ruth Morris Aberdeen City Council

Ruth plans at least two visits to KCC each year.
In the spring, the Action Plan will be discussed.
In the autumn, the progress will be discussed.
The Action Plan is now written to identify actions that can be achieved rather than ‘like to have’ items. Any item that has no budget will be kept on file, but will be included in the Action Plan. The plan is intentionally written in its current style to offer the greatest flexibility in achieving the intended goals.

The Youth Group has a possibility of the use of a portacabin. This should be chased up with David Wright.

There is a consultation due some time in June on Community Learning Hubs.

Travellers at Park & Ride
Paperwork is in place to progress evictions.
Some of the travellers were evicted a while ago, and they have now returned. Alex advised that if the same people returned then any existing paperwork was still effective.
It was reported that some travellers use the wooded area adjacent to the P&R site as a toilet. The presence of used toilet paper is evidence of this. The police advised that this in itself was not an offence unless the act was performed in public, and someone was offended.

Barrier at the Park & Ride
Alex and Stan have a drawing of the proposal to install height restriction barriers at the P&R. They will check the proposal on site to confirm it is acceptable.
