Matters Arising: a) Hall Planters, an article is needed for the Bicycle Tree to see if there is interest. SM to contact Jim and Marina who cared for them before. b) Parking behind the Village hall.

Specific Items: a) Roads: CM has videoed the deep edges on the roadside where the road has collapsed and forwarded them to SC Roads Dept or Bear. SC have done a good job at mowing the hedgerows. b) Finance: nothing to report c) Planning Matters: The original plans for Dorothy’s field have been radically changed but still have not resolved the drainage/sewerage/ wastewater issues. The projected Buffer zone was well received. SM to talk to Graeme Harley re Section 75. Other options:- TCT taking on the land to cover remaining concerns and it understands the transfer and conveyance processes, fund for maintenance, burdens put in place and clarity re who owns the odd bits of land. d) Community Policing: Report provided, another two-car collision occurred between BoT and Callander. Theft at a business premises and a housebreaking in BoT. Another walker lost on Ben Venue. e) Bye-Laws & Camping: as yet no replacement identified. |

Correspondence: a) PT contacted Toto but due to family issues she can’t return at this time. Suggested to try the school after the holidays. b) SC want to know the number of grit bins and where they are sited in the Village and where they could deposit the grit. The grit bin cap has been lifted. Check if private roads can be gritted. There was a suggestion to buy a gritter for the village but with the insurance costs and maintenance issues it would not be suitable. People do not seem to use the grit bins so a reminder in the Bicycle Tree would be useful. Kate to be advised nearer the time. |

AOB: a) TCC still needs some recruiting, it could co-opt people, encourage people to come and watch. b) CH asked about raising ideas on what to put in the new Place Plan that we must now create. Strathard have a detailed piece of work that includes planning consideration and the NHS. To contact to get a copy. c) CH raised the issue of speeding along Glenfinglas Road, there are road signs but these are ignored by visitors. |
