Approved minutes of meeting on Wednesday May 13th at 7pm at Kinning Perk In attendance: Tommy Ball, Bill Copleton, Shona Craven, Eileen Doherty (Wheatley Group), Steven Dowling (GCC), John Foster, Iain Henderson, John McKinstry, Margaret Prunty, Denis Ruddy, Bailie Fariha Thomas Apologies: Councillors John Kane and James Adams, Jim Nicol and Lorraine Horne Chairman John Foster opened the meeting by relaying apologies received and adjustments to April minutes and introducing community council officer Steven Dowling, who spoke of the importance of attendance at the monthly meetings and in particular at a forthcoming licensing consultation meeting on Monday, June 15th at the Pearce Institute. There will be representation at this meeting from the NHS, Glasgow Council for Alcohol, Police Scotland and Community Safety Glasgow. The problems in relation to alcohol and litter on football match days in our area were raised by residents. Bailie Thomas answered concerns by announcing the current plan to have more CCTV cameras positioned in our streets to assist with health and safety matters and help curb crime. Shona Craven mentioned the forthcoming advertisement of community council vacancies, and there was discussion about the number of existing vacancies. Steven Dowling said he would write to existing councillors to establish whether they wish to continue in this capacity or resign. In doing this our community council can move forward and advertise the vacancies. Iain Henderson gave his report on the monthly community council discussion forum held on May 9. John Foster raised the issue of the community council's bank account, advising that it may be necessary to open a fresh account as this is easier than change signatories on an existing account. Eileen Doherty, representing Wheatley Homes, spoke about the recent public consultation held in Ibrox Library on March 31 on the proposed flats at Ibroxholm Oval. She reported a good turn-out and interested response. Residents Margaret Prunty, Bill Copleton and John McKinstry raised their concerns, and John Foster outlined his own investigations into the matter. There is an ongoing website consultation by the Wheatley Group as well as another public open day on June 2 from 4pm to 7.30pm [minute amendment: this date was subsequently changed to June 9]. Denis Ruddy gave a report of clean-up work he has been personally undertaking, and was commended by all for his efforts. Bailie Thomas mentioned that re-surfacing of Midlock Street and other roads in the area was due to take place within this calendar year, along with replacement of street signs. The meeting was closed at 8.45pm. The next meeting will take place on Wednesday, June 17 at Kinning Perk.
