Isobel attended a Participatory budget meeting by zoom and advise that the 5th round of grants are now available and we are able to submit an application. After a short discussion it was agreed that we would submit an application the clean and restore the signage throughout the three areas of the village. This is where the public vote for who should get the grants however Isobel has lodged a complaint about the handling of this as it would appear a set of officers will first decide if it can go forward for a vote.
The trees at the war memorial have been severely damaged by the tree cutting team and therefore I Bain has agreed to renew the trees.
Mrs Young is now back home following a stay in hospital and is keen to still take part and Jana has to look into getting on the phone during our zoom meetings.
Isobel asked if we could put on Agenda for January discussion about a plan/campaign to include the western isles estate in our community council area.
OK Food Parcels are looking at forming their own constitution and committee. They are providing 100 meals on Xmas day and also Santa will be at the depot between 3 and 4 daily in week days giving out presents and this is being run by a booking only service. Food poverty deprivation is huge in our community and Isobel has written to the councillors to see what else can be done.
Liz advised that she has spoken to Gordon King and although he cannot attend the zoom meetings she will liaise with him on anything he wished to raise. Gordon has asked that the bin in glen which has been burnt out be replaced. (This is at the start of path way from Glen Road) Cllr Casey will look into this.
Y-sort it have had a pop up tent at the start of the glen giving out tea/coffee etc. and looking to speak to the youngsters about what they would like to see on the street art in the glen. A short discussion took place about lighting in the glen and how we can keep the youngsters from congregating in the glen at night.
Isobel is still waiting on the strategy plan re the development of the glen/ High park/Lusset park and the scottish enterprise ground.
Isobel asked Cllr McNair to be involved in the next meeting between the police, licensing board and y sort it re the issues in the glen that are affecting the priest and his church.
Closure of the Care Home in the village- short discussion took place and it was agreed we would send a card and maybe balloons to wish them well in their new home. Alison Hamilton to get costs and arrange.
Cllr Casey confirmed she has now attended a full round of all her committees. The new houses on the St Andrew’s school site is coming along and some people have moved in. The Health centre and new houses at the waterfront are being built.
She also visited the OK Food parcel site at the Depot and was very impressed with the set up.
Cllr McNair reported that the new sport pavilion at the High Park is due for demolition at end of January and then expected the new build to be completed by the end of the financial year. (This is being built off site)
She reported that there will be a full review in February of the Garages in Port Patrick Road and that she has spoken to John Kerr and about liaising with the people who lease these to bring them into a better state. Isobel asked that the community council be included in this review.
