UNAPPROVED MINUTES

Loch Duich Community Council
Meeting held in Inverinate Community centre
Thursday 19th June 2008 at 8.00pm

Present: Mr Berwyn Edwards (Chairman)
  Mrs Jayne Croy Mr Donald MacIntosh
  Ms Fiona MacDonald Mrs Marina MacRae
  Mr Ian Ross Mrs Christine Fraser
   
Apologies: Councillor Biz Campbell & Mr John Falconer

Minutes of previous meeting were approved.

Chairman’s Report
Carr Bare Mast – it had proven difficult to get more information on work that was to be done on the mast, with delays in delivery of parts from Germany.
Digital TV - Berwyn had, however, found a contact in satellite installation and would try and invite him to a future meeting so that he can confirm what is possible in this area.

Matters Arising
Co-option – It was suggested that Ian Ross be co-opted onto the Community Council. This was proposed by Berwyn and seconded by Jayne. Others were suggested as possibilities for co-option and were put on hold for now.

Planning – Marina confirmed that her contact at planning had started to send through the weekly planning application list and would send more detailed plans where required.

Transerv – still no response despite repeated correspondence.

AOCB
Old Folks Bus – Teens enquired about the current arrangements for the old folk’s bus service from Glenelg to Kyle. Marina agreed to contact John Angus Maclean for information.

Tescos –discussion as to whether or not there was support for plans for Tesco to come to Portree. Everyone felt that there was need for competition, but it was agreed that this topic would be best revisited once we find out whether or not a Lidls is approved for Portree.

Community Council representation –there was a need for a correspondent from the Letterfearn end of the Community Council area. This individual would not need to come to meetings but could email relevant Letterfearn/Ratagan/Totaig issues to the Community Council as and when they arose. Marina agreed to approach a couple of folks.

NEXT MEETING

Thurs 4th Sept 8pm
