We will show a substantial loss of revenue (&700.00) due to the theft of the Barbecue income from the home of Mrs Smillie in June. We have not be able to bank any income due to the NLC freezing all Community Councils accounts during the election period. This will be discussed in A.O.B. Group Reports..... The Tennis Club held its Finals Day on 19 August and will hold the Last Fun Day of the season on 16 September. The newly founded Play group started on 29 August, and will be held on Tuesday and Friday Mornings. The Mother & Toddler Group started on 7 September and is held every Thursday. The SewingCraft club and Wine and Bridge Club will start week commencing 9 October. Social Events ......The winter program will be discussed next meeting. It was considered having two nights for St Andrews and the Burns Supper to accommodate the new residents, in a village census the village hall was considered most favourable to outside venues, this was agreed. The Burns Club have agreed to two nights and will get back with dates. The 21 Halloween Party will be discussed at the next meeting. A flier will be sent. At a previous meeting it was discussed a small payment of perhaps 25.00 should be paid to an older child or split between two children to distribute the fliers as the committee has limited time due to business and family commitments. Any other business The following is an account of the events leading up to the burglary at the home of Margaret Smillie, secretary of Dullatur Community Council. In the past Community Council the policy of the banking of large or small sums of cash was simple. Cash had to be banked within a day or two of any event. No single committee member should carry the responsibility of cashing up or banking large sums of money, two people should accompany cash to bank. This worked extremely well until the Council decided all Community Council bank accounts should be frozen from 3 1 May 2000. Knowing we had events coming up we asked the Administration Dept on two occasions prior to the date for advice, we were not told to cancel the events. M Moore and M Smillie opened a safety deposit box at the Royal Bank of Scotland plc on 3 1 May 2000 to accommodate any problems as Mrs Moore was going on holiday and would be back around the middle of June. She however took ill on holiday. The barbecue was held on 10 June and on Monday 12 M Smillie tried to bank the income, which was not allowed. M Smillie could not deposit it in the safety deposit box as Mrs Moore had undergone an operation on holiday and her return was delayed. In desperation she phoned NLC administration Dept who advised her to deposit the cash in her personal account. She telephoned Mrs McLean, our Legal Advisor who advised her not to do this in any circumstance. Again She phoned NLC who told her to hide it until she could bank it with another group in the village. She could not get the necessary office bearers of the various groups due to holidays. On 16 June M Smillie was burgled while she was at home in the evening, the cash from the event, personal cash and effects were also taken. NLC were contacted at 9a.m on Friday and Mr GafTney returned the call on Monday 19 when he gave her the advice that she should have cancelled the event or banked the money in her personal account. The Community Council covered every eventuality available to them, it was decided to continue this discussion to the next meeting when the chairperson will be present to decide whether there would be any merit in pursuing NLC's insurance as advised by Cllr G Murray. We have applied to open an account for the Village Hall and Dullatur Old Village Residents Association so this will never happen again. Unfortunately the distress caused to M Smillie cannot be reversed. The Draft Constitution.., .it was agreed to withhold a decision on the constitution in particular, para (10) Finance and (1 1) Property until we get legal advice. That in the dissolution of the Commm&y Council all money and property should be transferred to NL,€. It was agreed in principle only money given through NLC grants should be returned and any money raised through events etc. by the residents should be returned to the residents. This will not apply as by next meeting the Residents Assoc. account will be in place. The question of the Village Hall and Tennis Courts remains, at no point do we receive any grant from NLC to support either. We will not sign the constitution until we have substantiated these points. During our summer recess there was another sewage M M,cKenaie 0.fS.E.P.A. was notified. We still have serious water run-off from ood &d Stewart Milne sites. This is destroying the resurfacing of the Lane paid by ore. &&e letter from Mr atson on 4 July to M Moore he indicates that the &rqpirs are in d. This is definitely not the case.

The Lane .......M Moore had a meeting with representatives of Taywood. They disagreed the reason for the flooding in the Lane was due to excess surface water coming from the development sites. It was pointed out that over the year extra culverts put in place were silting up and the drainage ditch was now level with the surface of the lane. This was previously a free flowing ditch. When Taywood complete building the maintenance will be contracted to a factoring company.

  • 27 March 2006 Carron Valley Development Group Msp
    27 MARCH 2006 CARRON VALLEY DEVELOPMENT GROUP MSP LAUNCHES CENTRAL SCOTLAND’S FIRST PURPOSE BUILT MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS Central Scotland's first purpose built mountain bike trails were opened at Carron Valley, near Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire, today (27 March) by the MSP for Cumbernauld and Kilsyth, Cathie Craigie. Over 9km of trails catering for all abilities of rider have been constructed by volunteers from the Carron Valley Development Group (CVDG) working in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council, Stirling Council and Forestry Commission Scotland. The professionally designed and constructed trails located within Carron Valley Forest offer an excellent recreational opportunity to the local community as well as thousands of residents living within the Central Belt. Opening the trails, Mrs Craigie said: "I am delighted to be opening the Carron Valley mountain bike trails. Mountain biking is an increasingly popular sport in Scotland, encouraging people to pursue an active lifestyle whilst enjoying the wonderful countryside around them. The sport is also attracting many tourists to the country who come to enjoy the many challenging and exciting trails we have to offer. The Carron Valley trails are ideally positioned to ensure that both the local community and visitors from further afield will benefit from them. Excellent transport links, coupled with a variety of other attractions nearby, will help drive the economic development of the area. Given the tremendous work that has been done in partnership in their development, I am confident that the trails will become a firm favourite with all who use and visit the forest.” Local biking volunteers formed the Carron Valley Development Group in 2003 to develop sustainable mountain bike routes in Carron Valley and have been the lead group involved with the project.
