4. Matters Arising
Goldpanning - See Secretarys report
Street lighting - See Secretarys report
WHW link - Charlie has emailed Transport Scotland, stating that the path is of a lesser standard than the planners required for the Crianlarich woodland. No response has yet been received. Charlie will continue to progress this.
Action Charlie
DRT - See Secretary's report
Broadband – See item 6.6 in the chair’s report. Tyndrum have been experiencing unusually slow internet at times in recent months, which Gavin has been investigating. BT have at last found a suspected software fault has been found in Edinburgh, which will be fixed very soon, and it is hoped will fix the slowness. Robert contacted Digital Scotland regarding the roll out of Fibre Optic. The scheduled dates for Strathfillan are currently Summer 2016, but this may slip.
It is not believed that alternative methods of broadband provision (e.g. satellite) is cost effective for this community, although properties a long way from the village exchanges may ultimately be offered an alternative in order to meet Government minimal speed commitments.
It was suggested that it might be useful to have a few volunteers in each community to monitor speeds on a regular basis, and report problems, eg. speed degrading.
Contact details for Community Councillors - these have been published in the notice board
Strimming - thank you to Robert and Alan for strimming around Crianlarich
Goldmine - 2 offers of funding have been received, and negotiations are continuing. There is likely to be a public information meeting in Tyndrum, possibly during October.
