Matters arising:

- The damaged bridge parapet at Kenlygreen Lodge is still not repaired. P Douglas and V Kilgour to liaise over contacts.

- Fairmont St Andrews plans have not been submitted formally yet, so no firm details of the re-design are available.

- Notice board –no progress. LR to ask Les if he could make one.

- The Neighbourhood Watch Scheme is on hold until PC Anderson returns to his desk. Progress with signage likely in February.
