2. Previous minutes from 03/05/22 – proposed by JB, seconded by MMcG
3. City Centre South Update
At a previous session the City Centre South project had discussed the proposed changes
within the Torbrex area.
SP communicated with the project and there is still a plan to show the plans within
each community allowing further comments where appropriate
4. Police Reports
Police report shows crime not at a worrying level and no major crime within the area
5. Planning Reports
a. Ice Rink – we are still awaiting an update on this, it had been hoped a decision would
be taken by end April, we believe this land may no longer be being considered by the
council for education purposes
b. Beechwood Pavilion – Stirling Petanque Club had expressed an interest to the CC in
this building with a view to running a café to cover costs and using the building for
equipment storage. TCC are very supportive at this time. It has however been noted
that the council have already ruled out this building being used as a café or nursery
due to the potential impact it could have on local parking.
6. Beechwood Park
Nothing to report within the park at this time
7. Litter
No update as yet from the previous meeting
8. Dog Fouling
The problem appears to have abated for now, this item will remain on the agenda to
facilitate monitoring
9. CC Accounts
MMcG proposed, JB Seconded, accounts have already been submitted to Stephen
Bly to facilitate the admin grant
10. Grit Bins
Stirling Council Roads dept are looking for input on where Grit Bins should (and
should not) be located. Will share on fb and ask for community comment.
11. Recycling consultation
We believe that with the new administration in place at Stirling Council the changes
to Recycling will be revisited – the CC would be keen to collate comments from the
community to ensure any changes are appropriate to what the community need
12. New Community Councillors
We had some interest from the community to become a community councillor –
applications have been sent to Stephen Bly for checking with a view to co-opting
new members are the next meeting.
13. AOB
JB to follow up on asking if any Scouts would be willing to do minute taking for the
CC
