  • Committee Minutes 12Th March 2020
    May Meeting Postponed Glenlyon and Loch Tay Community Council Draft minutes of the meeting held on 12th March 2020 at Fortingall Present: S.Dolan – Betney (chair), J. Riddell (treasurer), S. Dorey (secretary), J. Polakowska, Cllr J.Duff and 11 members of the public Apologies: K. Douthwaite, W. Graham, Cllr M. Williamson, C. Brook, E. Melrose. Minutes of the meeting held on 9.1.2020 in Fearnan were agreed, proposed by JP, seconded by JR. Finance: Current balance is £363.30 Police Report: Due to operational problems there was no-one available from Police Scotland. No new issues to report. Fearnan sub-area: just waiting for a map, then straightforward. Proposed LDP2 – no specific policies on ‘hutting’. JD provided paper copy of Policy 49:Minerals and Other Extractive Activities – Supply “Financial Guarantees for Mineral Development Supplementary Guidance”, Consultation draft. Closing date for comment March 16th 2020. Roads: Pop up Police Officers – risk assessment to be done prior to locating them near Lawers Hotel & the A827 in Fearnan. Fearnan verge-masters have now been installed by PKC at Letterellan. Glen Lyon road closure now will be June, instead of January. The hill road still the alternative route. Will need work to make it safe, as mentioned by a local resident. Cllrs JD & MW will ensure this happens. Timber Transport Fund will look at a possibility of funding to improve the lay -byes on the Glen road and to widen is slightly, where there are no concealed utility cables, pipes, etc. Flooding near Keltneyburn at Wester Blairish water is flowing over the road which causes problems when it freezes, due, probably, to a blocked field drain.

At The Cross 12 till 12.45 ‘straight from the shore to your door’ CANdo July/August 2019 Editorial The other day I came across an interesting statistic, which you may have read in the local and national press. Apparently, Coupar Angus is one of the healthiest of places to live in the UK. It came eighth in a list of the top ten. You may view this with some scepticism - why not in the top three? Or with surprise that our town is mentioned at all. Further investigation revealed how the list was compiled. It comes from Liverpool University and the Consumer Data Research Centre. This body selected various criteria and applied them to towns and villages across the country. These criteria included access to health services - mainly GPs and dentists - air/environmental quality, green spaces, amenities and leisure facilities. With its Butterybank community woodland, park and blue spaces like the Burn, Coupar Angus did well in this analysis. If you are fit and healthy you may be gratified by this result. If however you are less fortunate, this particular league table will have less appeal. But it is salutary to learn that your home town has many advantages.

At The Cross 12 till 12.45 ‘straight from the shore to your door’ CANdo Editorial November/December 2019 Let’s tell them what we think In general, people like to be asked their opinion about issues that affect them. This is particularly true if the issues are local. There can, however, be a degree of cynicism: ‘Am I being asked what I think only to give the process the appearance of validity? No-one will pay any attention anyway.’ Trust is therefore paramount, that those doing the consulting haven’t already made up their minds and will listen to the answers they get. Bearing all that in mind, it’s encouraging to learn that, as we reported in the previous issue, there will indeed be a survey/questionnaire about the Town Hall, to find out what the community thinks the future should be for this landmark building. The consultation runs till the end of January 2020. Forms will be distributed in the town, or returns can be made online at http://consult.pkc.gov.uk/ - look for Coupar Angus Town Hall. Forward Coupar Angus has also run its own consultation on the theme of ‘Where Now?’ This was a well-attended and lively meeting, eliciting a high degree of participation, which in turn produced a wealth of ideas.
