1) Matters arising
Boarhills road signs. No progress, although Peter Milne has recently
remarked on this lack of progress. (Issue first raised Sept 2004).
Flooding at Cardean. The Council recently visited the site, and
are due to come back with cameras so they can look further along
the drain. However, there is no prospect of any significant sum
being spent, The flooding is exacerbated by blockages to the E of
the current problem.
Recycling. We now have communal plastic and metal can bins, situated
next to the hall. Individual paper recycling bins will be issued
shortly.
J Fairbairn submitted the audited accounts for 2004/05. These were
approved by the meeting.
2) Dunino topics
S Raeside reported that planning permission for activities at Sorbie
airfield was about to come before the Council. Local residents adjacent
to the airfield continue to be concerned, and S Raeside will shortly
attend a community council organised meeting at Carnbee for those
involved.
The bridge at Stravithie Mill is in need of repair. Engineers from
Fife Council Transportation services gave a brief summary of works
proposed. After concerns from local residents J Ryan and B Baillie
were raised regarding the flooding hazard which may be increased
due to a reduction in stream width allowed by the proposed new structure,
it was agreed that the plans would be revised. The work is likely
to take place between November and April, and will involve partial
closure of the road, with a 7.5T weight limit during the work. It
was agreed that local farmers with activities either side of the
bridge would be contacted. It was agreed that the proposed timing
of the work was probably optimal. Diversions will be signposted
around the coast.
The Lathockar- Stravithie road is still in very poor state. Recent
cosmetic patching has not helped.
