Present were: Capt. J Wilson, A Kennedy, J Bell, C McCurdy, F McInnes, C Lambert, A Hoey and R Zielinski. Also attending, Anne Gabriel of ASCC.

Apologies:
Apologies were received from E Kennedy and Councillor Ron Simon.

Minutes:
Minutes of the previous meeting were accepted.

Police Report: Sargent Crawford Richmond phoned the Chair with a report covering our area. It was reported that over the last month there had been few incidents of vandalism, mainly in the Caravan Park. The Council did not have any questions for the Police.

Boundaries:

There followed a discussion with reference to the area that this Council is to represent. The Chair proposed that to allow new members to become aquainted with the situation and to fully understand all that is involved the subject should be left in abeyance until the AGM in May of this year at which time a decision should be made. This was agreed by the meeting.

It was noted that HQCC had approached Dunoon CC on the above subject and their reply had been positive.

Planning:

The Planning application for the new superstore was discussed and the meeting felt that it would be benificial to the area although concern was raised over what could be the demise of some small businesses.

Matters Arising:

Mental Health: A Mental Health Roadshow is to visit all areas in A & B with Dunoon’s Queens Hall being the venue on Thursday 11^TH March.

After some discussion it was accepted that Mr Bell would attend the meeting in Rothsay and report back.

Treasurers Report: The Treasurer reported that we were still in funds.

Page Two:-

Mrs Anne Gabriel was welcomed to the meeting and talked on the following subjects:

The Community Chest, how to access monies using A & B web site.

Green Gym, Part of Dunoon communities assets.

Local Planning: how it operates or in our case does not operate.

Cosla: the reduction in schools, teachers etc.

Dunoon Local Plan: Argyll street realignment. The plans were passed round and comments were forthcoming. Making the junction with John Street into a two lane filter was welcomed. The Street furniture seemed a bit upmarket. Taking away the road painted areas at crossings would help pedestrians to note that traffic had right of way. £58,000 for flowers would seem excessive.

She omitted to mention that the whole scheme is to cost over £330,000!!!

Mr Zielinski brought up the topic of Toward Castle Closure but it had been stated in the local press that A & B Council had agreed to fund it for the time being.
