Notes from Meeting 30th July 2007

Newsletter

It was decided that a newsletter should be produced for the residents to give them information about the residents association, to keep them up to date with what we have been doing and to find out what kind of social event they would like us to organise.

Alison will put the letter together
Elaine will compile contact details of R.A. members
Lynn will summerise the meeting with A. Middleton (Greenbelt)
Eimear will put together ideas for social events.
All inputs will be with Alison for the end of the week

Reporting back

Derek - Had managed to obtain a copy of plans from Scotia.
Has requested plans from Persimmons but has not received them.

Contacted the council and they say;
The verges are the responsibly of the developer
That the council offered to grit the roads last winter at the cost of the developer but they were not willing to pay. That 2008 is when the council plans to adopt the roads. 2008 is also when school buses should start to run.
Greenbelt are responsible for the ponds and any fencing or rescue aids.

Derek has agreed to take further with the council the gritting issue for next winter and the Health and safety issues around the pound.

Dougie - had contacted Scotia but had received no response.

However the issue of Scotia residents payment of initial fee has been answered by Alex Middleton. (although it has still to be confirmed in writing)

Emma - Has made several attempts to get the information required from Persimmon, but has yet to be successful. She will keep trying.

Constitution

We have still to draw up a constitution, it was agreed that Jackie would do so.

Neighbourhood watch

Dougie will help us with a contact to set up a Neighbourhood watch.

Walk around with Greenbelt

Will try to arrange this for the 9th August.

Woodland Plans

It would be useful to have a look at proposed plans for the nearby woodlands. Eimear and Derek will speak to their contacts to see if we could do so.

The remaining questionnaires will be collected on Friday.

Next meeting Monday 27th August @ 22 Achray Drive
