and also the theft of a cartwheel in Abernyte.

The

A
planning application has been lodged to build a small house in Kinnaird, Cllr
Roberts is to make enquiries regarding this.

a Bio-Fuel Shed. It was asked if Taypack had been told that any further
extensions would be refused due to an effect on traffic volumes through the

vehicles travelling from Moncur Farm. Cllr Roberts is to make enquiries
regarding the planning application and will e-mail G Ward.

Carse Road which appeared to be coming from a
burn.
The
Rait road is unfinished from just beyond the crossroads
A
member of the public informed the meeting that there is a lay-by at Dunsinane
which has been closed. When he approached P&K council to ask the reason for
this, he was told that this was never an official lay-by. At the official
lay-by there is only space for 2 cars and cars have now started parking on the
main road and are causing a danger situation. It was asked if the unofficial
lay-by could be re-opened. Cllr Roberts is to pursue this.
There

installed
There
was no further news on the central reservation opening at Middlebank.
There
was no further news on the removal of the lighting at Inchcoonans.
The
entry roads onto the A90 at both Glendoick and Kinfauns were on bends and were
a contradiction of the reason given for the refusal of the exit from Moncur
Farm directly onto the same road.
There
is a blindspot at the Bus Stop on the A90 at Moncur Farm, can anything be done
to ensure that the bus stops here.
Bus
drivers have been seen cutting the corners on the flyover at Inchture.

was asked if the dog litter bin in the middle of the avenue of Redwoods could
be moved to one side or the other as it detracted from the view.
SOCIAL WORK
The
NHS Minor Ailment Scheme was brought to the attention of the council. Anyone
who is eligible for free prescriptions can receive a free consultation at a
pharmacy provided they have pre-registered. The idea is that it will free up
Doctor’s time. It is only possible to register with one chemist.

suggested that it was planted in the area in the centre of the road up to the
flyover.

there any development on the location of the recycling area which has been
proposed
The
money which is due to be given to the community from Muir Homes was discussed.
It was suggested that a sub-committee is formed to include all of the council
members who reside in Inchture and to ask for volunteers from other local
groups to make up as broad an interest as possible. A bank account is also to
be opened with the same 3 signatories as the Community Council account, this is
due to the difficulties opening a new account.

the member for Rait, and was therefore duly elected to the council.
