Worked with NAC around our Insurance Policy and ours was cheaper than the proposed NAC one but he is yet to hear back.
JW:
Jim Kennedy had a deep and long connection to local history and from that JW proposed that when a street is proposed in Kilwinning that said street is named after Jim to recognise his contribution.
Next year is the hundredth anniversary of the Armistice with a suggestion that the parade could visit the original WWI memorial in the Abbey Grounds. NM will contact the RBL though Cllr Reid has suggested that the RBL has this in hand.
Almswell Road Parking was raised as this has pushed a lot of cars into Kyleswell Street and this has become dangerous. Police will take a lead on this.
Dog Fouling has went down and the main offender in the area where he lives has been fined.
Jim raised the Website hosting and has looked at the some options and one called UK2 has an offer which would be adequate and it is suggested we take this first step of moving it across to an new independent site.
Jim also updated the council on the work of the AYRSHIRELEADER Group.
