- Police Report
Written report submitted - no officers present at the meeting.
- Matters Arising
a. Sustainable Transport
Members noting that the pavements and cycle paths are not being regularly cleared of leaves which is rendering some cycle paths unsafe.
Noted suggestion to make reference to ‘active travel routes’ for the above in the hope that there is a strategy at some point from the Council. Also questioned priority routes.
Noted state of path from Linden Avenue (car park) up towards St Ninians, uneven surface has been raised as a risk for some less able residents. Query as to whether this path will be in plans around Viewforth redevelopment.
Noted concerns around the design of some recently completed cycle path routes, notably Union St. Vehicles turning down Union St may have to stop for pedestrian or cycles without having fully turned the corner. Similar near Wallace High school.
b. Community Council Health Check
Jane noting a further reminder to complete training where applicable.
Jane also presented brief update on the Informed Communities Open Data event attended. Thanks noted to Jane for her attendance.
