the position of village officer would be gratefully received. Position still
open from M.O.M. 22nd Sept 2010
8. Fly Tipping:- Still a problem at the lay-by the Plockton Road just past the Clan Garage. Bins that were present have been removed as the Council felt that it only encouraged more fly tipping. A request to be made for the bins to be reinstated at the lay-by and also during the summer months for more regular emptying of bins, especially at the car park locations, of more than once a week, as they are filling fast with chip boxes etc. An answer back for the reintroduction of community skips, as we do not have a close by recycle point, was that the matter should be taken up with our local councillor- Audrey to investigate.

Terry to contact the Housing Association to ask for a copy of the letter for the C.C records. Update Terry has made contact and a letter of confirmation to follow shortly.
4. Police Matters.
Matters
from last meeting:-
None
New Police Matters.
It was brought to the attention of the Police that members of the public have observed teenagers
down at the new play park with steel bars with the intention of causing damage. It was also
mentioned by George that the pavilion had also been broken into over the past week or so and
damage caused to the gents toilet. The thought of a CCTV system would be ideal not just from
the security point of view but for health and safety to be able to
review any incident or accident. A
request was made by the C.C. if the police could maybe just circulate the area
during night patrols. Since the meeting it has been brought to the attention of the
C.C that the park has been adopted by the HRC ( TEC?) who are looking into the
installation of a CCTV and low lighting.
No other police matters then the Police reps left the meeting ( George also left to be able to lodge an official report with regards to the vandalism of the pavilion.)
5. Kyle
Development Group ( KDG) update
Work still progressing
well with regards to the Plock trusties being changed so to provide
control by another group of trusties.
The findings from the 3 day
conversation and the primary school tea party have been compiled into a report
that is undergoing final discussion and refining and should be ready for
distribution by October.
6. S&L NHS action Group update
The C.C. was informed that the
open meetings have been confirmed as next week commencing on Wednesday 21st
Sept Portree, Thursday 22nd Dornie 1300hrs to 1700hrs and 1830hrs to

then the C.C would no longer exist and would then have to be rerun. No need for a returning officer. The present committee will stay in place

8. Christmas
Lights
We presently have light displays for the top car park it is proposed to look at further displays for
the lamp posts along the sea
front and do away with the two displays on the lamp poles as being to high.
Everyone was in agreement to look into the costing and the number of units
involved and to contact the lighting dept for the installation of more sockets
and mounting brackets. Since the meeting an e mail has come in from Blachere
Illumination UK with what is available and costing and has been sent to members
for comment and choice. We would need
approx another 9 display units.
9.
Village Notice Board
Since the refurb of the Woollen Shop the notice board has not been
reinstated. It would be nice to have
another notice board that is maybe more appealing and noticeable. Members of the CC have been asked to take a
look around the village for a suitable mounting point or location.
Audrey has also been requested to look into the availability
of any fancy notice boards that may be lurking within any of the Council
Yards. Also e mail has been sent to
members with a web site link for notice board info.
