2 Chair’s report [PH]
The Chair thanked the members of CC for their work over another term. Thanks to VRG
for the management of the windfarm funds - thanks to HB for grants schemes admin etc.
CC has been reduced in its effectiveness - frustrated by lack of elected Councillor
attendance. Other than Stephen Bly CC enquiries there is no contact and we are missing
the personal touch.
Lack of action from Roads - we have visited, contacted repeatedly, mentioned to JP that
there appears to be no one in charge.
JP had meeting with head of service last week - have now filled the post, not sure if they
have started yet.
PH we have been asking for certain things over many, many months.
Look forward to new uses of community money that will arise from the VRG Strategy
which is now underway. Hope CC can have some input into that.
3 Secretary’s report [DB]
There are a number of issues to do with Stirling Council which are causing frustration -
there are communication issues with several departments as problems not being
resolved. Appreciate issues around Covid during past 2 years but not getting any easier
to resolve eg roads issues, planning enforcement, etc.
4 Treasurer’s report [NS]
From 30 November, last time with certified accounts. Since then very little action.
The balance is £2850.40. Recent £1500 award towards defibrillator. Decided to have a
£1000 float andnot go below this. Only other items: secretarial services and shovels for
grit bins.

AOB
CC need to discuss what the community needs - feed this back to VRG. There is going
to be another windfarm application in addition to those already known. May be possible
to talk to them at an early stage, community turbine? Muirpark.
