MINUTE OF PREVIOUS MEETING
The minute was read, and its acceptance was proposed by Mr. G Ward and seconded by Mr P Henderson subject to the amendments that the meeting was at Rait and the cost of the Inchture Ring Road was estimated to be £2,000,000

POLICE AND FIRE
The Local Police said that they were currently busy at Inchture with vandalism and bogus workmen, there was also a problem with youths

PLANNING
The planning application for houses at Rossie Park Drive has been resubmitted with a revised design. The Planners require an acoustic test.

An application has been submitted for a large house at Quarryside Kinnaird which will require substantial tree felling. 

The Horsehoe Café’s application for a lorry park is likely to be refused as is their application for a house remote from the café. The Council felt that planning permission should be given for the lorrypark and also for the house, provided that it is sited next to the café

Regarding Muir Homes planning application at Inchture, it is likely that the latest proposals will be approved. Muir Homes is, over and above other Community benefits, to provide £150,000 to be spent as the community wishes. The Council felt that it could support the proposals but think that the resulting traffic problems will still require a solution. Muir homes is also to provide an extension to the School whether this is when required or when the 135^th house is sold is to be ascertained by J Hulbert.

The Borrow Pit at Rait is now being landscaped, hopefully in a sympathetic manner 

ROADS AND TRANSPORT
Perth & Kinross Roads Dept have advised that where the Rait Rd is being damaged by Borrow Pit lorries, they are inspecting the road daily and carrying out repairs. 

Residents of Abernyte thanked the Council for their assistance in getting the 20mph limit.
