  • 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.

  • 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.
