Unadopted Minutes
Draft UNADOPTED MINUTES Gartmore Community Council (GCC) Extraordinary General Meeting re Stirling Council’s Priority Based Budgeting (PBB) plans 8th January 2014 at 1930 in Gartmore Church Present: Ms A Jackson (Planning Representative), Ms J Billett (Chair), Mr W Glasse-Davies, Ms R Clements, Mr I Dinwoodie (Vice-Chair) Apologies: Mrs J Fleming (Secretary), Mr C Sheldon (Treasurer), Mr G McGarvey Councillors: Mr Fergus Wood, Mr Martin Earl Members of the public: Mr Iain Roe, Mrs Margaret Miller, Mrs Rosie Series, Mrs Liz McCormick, Mr John Davidson-Kelly, Mr Chris Naylor, Mrs Vicky Glasse-Davies, Ms Carol Irvine, Mr John Poulter, Mrs Mary Milton, Mrs Joy Henderson The meeting opened with Trossachs & Teith councillors FW and ME explaining the background and giving examples of the process of Priority Based Budgeting. They were very helpful in providing detail of the areas under discussion. [NB, a table of the Service Options discussed at the meeting follows the minutes below.] EDUCATION SERVICES RS and others were concerned about the proposal to withdraw specialist music teachers from primary schools (EDU054 – see below). The suggested move to group lessons is a concern; musical education of poorer pupils would suffer most; compare the proposed saving (£425K) with the cost of The Big Noise scheme (£600K); Big Noise is laudable but needs to get a bigger return for its investment. JDK insisted swimming lessons are not merely to teach pupils to swim, they provide opportunity for physical exertion, ditto PE lessons (EDU055). If the availability of the lessons were to be reduced to the pupils least able to pay (MM) this would be unmanageable within the school context.

Sloy Project Summary
Visual Mitigation of Overhead Lines in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park: Inveruglas and Glen Sloy Executive Summary submission to Ofgem as part of VISTA: An Assessment of the Visual Impacts of Scottish Transmission Assets January 2020 Visual Mitigation of Overhead Lines in Loch Lomond and the 1 December 2019 Trossachs National Park: Inveruglas and Glen Sloy Executive Summary SHE Transmission is promoting Visual Impact of Scottish Transmission Assets (VISTA), an initiative instigated to assess the impact of existing electricity infrastructure its ownership within National Parks and National Scenic Areas (NSAs) in Scotland, and where possible, to identify and develop appropriate mitigation. To play a part in conserving Scotland’s designated landscapes, SHE Transmission hopes to access a proportion of a £500m fund that is administered by the electricity industry regulator, Ofgem. SHE Transmission’s VISTA Policy document defines objectives that projects must meet: “deliver the most beneficial enhancements for Scotland’s precious landscapes while keeping undesirable environmental impacts associated with particular mitigation measures (such as undergrounding) to a minimum; enable users of National Parks and NSAs to benefit from their recreational, educational and social offering; protect the technical viability of the wider transmission network; be economical and efficient; and involve a wider range of stakeholders.” In order to deliver the maximum benefit, it is necessary to identify the transmission infrastructure with the greatest impacts on nationally protected landscapes, but also with greatest potential for mitigation. This was evaluated through a landscape and visual impact assessment that considered all of SHE Transmission’s infrastructure in protected landscapes in Scotland.

Gartmore Village Hall Development Phase 1
CELEBRATING 100 PROJECTS FROM THE FORTH VALLEY AND LOMOND LEADER PROGRAMME 2007-2013 IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN RURAL FORTH VALLEY AND LOMOND THROUGH REVITALISED COMMUNITIES AND ENHANCED NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS Photo © SEAG FOREWORD I joined Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER Local Action Group during the last programme, when it only covered rural Stirling and West Dunbartonshire, and continued as Vice Chair and the Chair for this programme. For this LEADER programme the area expanded to take in rural Falkirk, rural Clackmannanshire and part of West Dunbartonshire more than doubling the population we covered. The escalation in LEADER coverage drove us to expand the Local Action Group (LAG) including many more people who had not had LEADER coverage before. The transition process was ultimately successful and the LAG became a knowledgeable sounding board for applications to LEADER, approving over £3m worth of projects in the area. This transition from a small LEADER area to a much larger and more varied rural area would not have been nearly as successful without the leadership and friendly manner of Dereck Fowles, Chair of Rural Stirling LEADER and first Chair of Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER. Sadly, Dereck passed away in November 2013 at the rip old age of 86, eleven of those years having been spent supporting and leading us in LEADER. Dereck was a friendly and welcoming Chair with a quick wit that was always used to put people at ease. Always very generous with his time and absolutely committed to the improvement of the lives of people living in rural Scotland, Dereck, more than any other single person, helped make this LEADER programme a success and he will be sorely missed in the Forth Valley and Lomond area and in rural Scotland.

10. Appendices
10. Appendices Appendix 2: Report on Archival Research & Timeline th by Morag Cross, 17 April 2019 Contents Purpose and Scope 1 Timeline 4 Elizabeth Buchanan of Leny (c1701-76) 15 Acknowledgements 69 Bibliography 69 Archive Sources 70 National Library of Scotland (NLS) 70 Historic Environment Scotland (HES) 71 National Records of Scotland (NRS) 72 Purpose and Scope Leny Woods are situated in Callander Parish, on Leny Estate, which seems to have been a discrete unit for most of its history. This chronology of the woodland management is abridged from the accompanying complete report. Apart from this brief initial summary, the detailed interpretation of the documentary record is outwith the scope of the study. The initial search was for information about charcoal production specifically on Leny estate, but as very little data remained, the scope was rapidly widened. It included the general history of wood cutting, the associated contracts selling the growing wood for defined periods, and conditions of sale. The Buchanan of Leny papers in the National Records of Scotland consist primarily of title deeds and charters, and contain very few factors’ or financial records that might illuminate the approach to forestry and arboriculture. Some relevant papers may exist locally at Cambusmore estate, but it was not possible to visit. th Consequently, archives of the 18 century Commissioners on the Forfeited Estates, and of the Dukes of Montrose, were consulted for insights about surrounding areas. This gave context, contemporary woodcutting contracts, and activities similar to those occurring on Leny. Much of Forfeited Estates information covered the neighbouring Barony of Strathyre, which like Leny, adjoins Loch Lubnaig.

In 2009, in partnership with the National Park Authorities, this work was extended to determine the special qualities of the two National Parks, including the National Scenic Areas within them. The result of the work for the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is reported here. Main findings • The park is large and diverse with significantly different landscape characteristics in different areas. Hence as well as listing the landscape qualities which are generic across the park, the qualities for the four landscape areas of Argyll Forest, Loch Lomond, Breadalbane and the Trossachs are also given.
