    1. Completion of hub expected to be November 2021. Awaiting an update on the

      inspect the work.

    2. BCC are awaiting an update on full canopy being repaired.

    3. Cenotaph volunteers are looking for lights. BCC spoken with LS regarding the
      footpath and they are providing prices on various things.

    4. Update re Telford Bridge – the wall and the stained arch was discussed and
      Tommy asked about the bridge itself after pointing out water issues. It was
      requested if SC could give a full report of the bridge and the beams which
      support it and if there was any historic reports. It was asked if the funding made
      available last year would still be available for the bridge. Cllr MacPherson to
      follow up on this.

    5. A resident has no need for a brown bin if there is no garden. They want to use
      the brown box or green container received from SC however they can't do this as
      there could be a problem lifting it if it is “too heavy".

    6. Two additional picnic benches ordered for Ladywell Park 4 & 6 seater – funding
      has been received.

    7. Funding received for two planters for the history garden.

      agreed by T Cain and Bannockburn Trust to be used as a history garden.

    9. Costing for signage for history Garden as been arranged. Signage used at
      Ladywell Park - Whins of Milton - bottom of the brae in Bannockburn. All of these
      provide the history of the areas on the Heritage Trail.

    10. Welcome to Bannockburn site has been agreed with Stirling Council.

    11. Cllr MacPherson to find out the area for the Christmas lights for this year in front
