Present: Mrs Rowan; Messrs Bell, Meldrum, Ritchie and Sneddon with J. Robertson in the chair.
Apologies: Apologies for absence were intimated from Mrs Stevenson, Mr Blaney and Councillors MacGregor, Riches and Scott-Hayward.
New Year Greetings: The Chairman wished those present the compliments of the season.
Minutes: Minute of meeting of 5th December, 2011 was held as read, approved and signed on the motion of Mrs Rowan, seconded by Mr Ritchie, subject to the substitution of the word “Council” for the word “Floral” in the item headed “Treasurer’s Report”.
Matters arising from the Minutes:
(a) Weather Vane: It was noted that the missing weather vane from Earlsferry Town Hall was in storage and would be put back when located. Arising out of discussion of this item, it was noted that High Street, Earlsferry was not signed as Earlsferry , which caused difficulty for visitors and deliveries. It was agreed to request that this be remedied.
(b) 41-43 High Street, Elie: It was noted that after further damage in recent storms, steps were being taken to make the building safe, thus allowing that part of the street to be re-opened to traffic.
Questions from the Public:
Breakwater: There was submitted a complaint that , because of storm damage to a glass screen at Breakwater House, the adjoining area of the beach was covered in glass fragments. It was agreed to request Fife Council to remove the glass.
Councillor’s Report: It was noted that Councillor Riches was pursuing the problem of flooding at Baird Place.
Projects: The Chairman advised that the tubs at the Church and War Memorial had been tidied and bulbs planted at various locations. Mr Bell advised that a planter, which seemed suitable for use by the council and owned by a neighbour of his was being disposed of. It was agreed to collect it for future use.
Mr Bell suggested that application be made for funding from the “Awards for All” scheme reported on at the last meeting for community projects. It was remitted to the Chairman to deal with this.
The Chairman reported on “Scarecrow Week” to be held in the Spring. It was agreed to participate.
Secretary’s Report and other correspondence:
(a) There was submitted and noted report of the meeting held on 1st December on the Fife Local Development Plan Exchange, which body would from time to time seek the views of community councils on matters of common interest.
(b) Forth Estuary Forum Conference: It was agreed that Mr Meldrum, if free on the date in question, should attend the annual conference of the Fife Estuary Forum to be held in Rosyth on 19th January.
(c) Station Buffet Bar: There was submitted and noted statutory notification of an application by the proprietors of the Station Buffet Bar for a variation in the premises licence to allow entry by children and young persons (aged 5-17) to public areas of the bar, subject to conditions as indicated.
(d) Four Bin System: It was agreed to accept an offer by a representative of Fife Council to attend the next meeting to speak about the new four bin system of refuse collection to be introduced in March.
Planning: Planning applications notified since the last meeting were noted.
There being no further business, the meeting closed at 7.30 pm with a vote of thanks to the Chair.
