Fairburn Windfarm FundFollowing detailed discussion, the decisions listed below were taken.a) Full grant to Killearnan Survey History Project - £750b) CAB- £200c) Muir of Ord Skate Park (Gap fill only) £500d) Carefree Club(towards card tables) £500
Points CAB – we commend work of CAB but project not specific to this area. Doubt as to whether fund can support officer already in place.Skate Park – No evidence that Killearnan residents use the park – Muir of Ord is already well provided by the Fund and in the years to come.Carefree Club – North Kessock is a separate CC. Only a small number of Senior Citizens attend the club – no evidence that Killearnan residents are actually involved.Locally based projects are in the pipeline. The short time available between the opening of the bidding period and the June deadline meant certain groups were not able to cost/organise prospective projects.
.Planning Matters Proposed development at Redcastle Station – application withdrawn.New application for servicing plot. Mr Holden made the point that signs advertising the prices of the plots are sited on council owned land
.Tore School Notice Board Project Mr Hudson and Mr Mackintosh have erected the board beside Tore Hall. Total cost £670.04.Official opening to take place before the October break. Many thanks to Steven for all his work.
