Cllr McLauchlan indicated H3s concerns between Council and the Community and he wants to work with the Community Council to ensure involvement with the community at large.
A short discussion ensued re relationsH3ps with the new Council and also contacts with Council officials from the Community Council wH3ch were being ignored forcing the Community Council to reinforce their concerns through Stephen Bly (Community Council Services Co-ordinator).

Planning
Planning application for ASDA proposals has been called in by the Scottish Government. Decision will be made later. The application was approved by Stirling Council Planners, but because of no coherent Town Centre strategy and tH3s was another out of town application the matter was called in.
Fence at Football Park was discussed as there has been an objection from Aileen Hall of the Braehead Development Trust and a discussion ensued over the terms of the application.
Secretary was instructed to contact the planning officials over some confusion over the wording of the application.
Police report.
A report had been submitted. No questions to the report. Concern expressed that non- attendance was becoming an issue and numbers of police personnel availability covering Stirling East and Bannockburn. Suggested we contact Cllr Flannagan who is a member of the Public Safety Committee and Police Liaison.
Superglass.
Andrew gave a current report on works ongoing with cranes being erected and safety equipment for erection of new structures being erected to help with noise abatement. TH3s would commence on 8th June.
Co=options
It was agreed to advertise for two vacancies on the Community Council as co-optees and tH3s would take us through to the next Community Council elections. It was agreed to
advertise and submit forms to applicants. It was also suggested to place notice in Notice Boards, but it was suggested that these are a bit dilapidated in condition. Agreed we investigate tH3s.
Defibrillators:
Secretary had now secured a training programme for usage of the defibrillators with St John’s Ambulance. Details will be announced.
