      Maureen advised that she has spoken to Grant Douglas at Scottish Power and he
      stated that it is Ross Forbes that is taking over the project as he is on holiday until next
      week.

       

      Maureen had a meeting with the Scottish Power legacy steering group and the council
      are going to help with the projects because it has taken a bit of time and they are
      worried that they are going to run out of time. The council are going to manage the
      project and oversee it. David stated that the last thing they heard was about the skate
      park but no one has told them anything else.

       

      Maureen has got the estimates and costs but they can only provide the funding to
      Stirling Council who are going to look into match funding.

       

      Maureen added that The City Regional Deal could be used for the funding but It had
      already been allocated so they need to find the match funding. Spen are meant to be
      keeping the group up to date. Maureen asked if an email could be sent out to Spen to
      be invited to the next meeting.

       

      Spen have gave some money to fix the bridge but it is coming out of the money for
      the skate park. The repairs are to start on the 12th July 2021.

       

      David stated that he has done a lot of work and is frustrated wil the lack of
      communication

       

      Maureen has resigned as a SNP member last year for personal reasons but has joined
      the Alba party and is still a councillor. If there is anything the need they can put in
      constituents enquiries

       

      David advised that he put a CC enquiry in for rock salt in January and he has only
      received a response this week.
