advised Berwyn should check the SEPA website for clarification.

Matters Arising
Joint Community Council meeting – had been
held in Kinlochewe. Audrey had attended and said she would forward
minutes from Robbie
Bain.
Ratagan swimming pool – letter received asking for help in
purchasing solar matting to heat the pool. Everyone was encouraged
to see that the pool committee had done quite a bit of fundraising
on their own, but they needed help. Berwyn proposed a cheque for £500
be sent, seconded by Donald.

Transerv – Marina had made contact with Robert
Thomson, Area Manager for Transerv, and he was keen to attend the
next meeting
to discuss all the ongoing matters re. roads and pavements etc.

Letterfearn folks re. the water quality issue.
Skip requests – two further community skips

Police matters – following his attendance
at a Police Liaison meeting in the Midlands, Berwyn suggested that
contact be made with
Sgt Hunter in Kyle to ask for an update on local policing issues.
Erosion at Glebe Road – John mentioned the
erosion at the waterside on Glebe Road, where the sea water was eating
under the kerb and
tarmac. Audrey provided a contact at Highland Council, who would
be contacted by Marina.
Parking in Kyle – mention was made of the
regular instances of illegal parking, mis-use of blue badges, double
parking etc, in
Kyle. The real problem was the lack of parking spaces and the concern
is how bad it will get when the summer tourists arrive. Marina to
contact Inspector MacLean to find out whether there are plans for
a traffic warden to be in Kyle for at least a couple of days a week
over the summer.
