Minutes:

The Group considered an update from Furnace Community Council detailing their activities and response to the Covid-19 pandemic between April 2020 and March 2021. The update also provided information on communication channels utilised by the Community Council; concerns around Furnace Surgery; regular conversations with Breedon representatives in relation to Furnace Quarry; speeding mitigation measures; concerns around littering; and Community Council responses to consultations and planning applications.

 

Discussion took place around ongoing concerns in relation to Furnace Surgery and it was agreed that Lynda Syed would e-mail Shona Barton details of concerns to be raised at the next meeting of the Community Planning Partnership Management Committee.

 

Following concerns raised around issues with wild camping in the area, it was agreed that Inspector Collins would further discuss this issue with Lynda following the meeting. It was noted that potential solutions could be additional patrols by Police Scotland to inform people visiting the area of their responsibilities, with James Sullivan advising that he would also be happy to provide assistance to Police Scotland with education around campfires if required.
