. . . KILMACOLM & QUARRIERS . . . 26 www.advertizer.co.uk Kilmacolm Village Litter Pick 18 volunteers turned out on Saturday 13th April 209 to help with the Village Litter Pick. We were very lucky with the weather – cool and no rain. They were split into teams of two or three and sent off to differing areas which were checked out beforehand by Mike Jefferis, Chair of Kilmacolm Community Council. They were also equipped with litter pickers, high visibility vests and bin bags. The aim was to do as much as they could and be back at the rendezvous by 12noon. As Chair of the Kilmacolm Community Council I would like to thank the following persons for turning out and doing their bit to help make the village a cleaner place to live: Joyce Jefferis, Drew Livingston, Adrian and Judith Kent, Peter McKerrell, Jennifer Hogg, Maureen Wells, Liz Finnie, Lisa Griffin, Judith Russell, Marion Armour, Louise and Ken McLaren, Caroline and Logan Muir, Jack Lamont and Councillor David Wilson. The village certainly looks a lot less untidy thanks to their efforts. Mike Jefferis, Chair, Kilmacolm Community Council Kilmacolm Community Council Details from our meeting on 26th March 2019. Police Scotland: There were no recorded crimes in the Kilmacolm and Quarriers area for the month of March. Planning/Licensing: 8 validated planning applications were considered at the meeting none of which were opposed but as one was for the conservation area it was agreed that the chair would comment on this to the planning officer. Parking: A new Traffic Regulation Order was being raised which would effectively turn four of the parking places in Barr’s Brae into electric charging vehicle spaces only between 8am and 6pm from Monday to Saturday.

Under John Gilchrist’s enthusiastic direction and the expert dancing guidance of Liz Addison, Carol Biggin and Julie Gibb, the cast of ten women and one brave man put on a very entertaining show. They all put in a huge amount of effort in learning their lines and – for many - how to tap dance for the first time. They were well rewarded by the appreciative applause which greeted their rousing finale tap dance routine. Well done to John and the whole company – on stage and behind the scenes. We’re now busy deciding what our next production in November will be. We intend it to be something for all the family to enjoy, so look out for details.

@GryffeAds | e: info@advertizer.co.uk | t: 01505 613340 May 2019 Planning: A packed St Columba’s Church Hall heard a protest meeting with regard to the Gladman planning application for 88 houses at North Dennistoun. Mike Jefferis and Nicol Cameron spoke respectively on behalf of the Community Council and the Civic Trust. There were many questions and observations. In my role as Chair of Planning I outlined the procedure that the Council observes when dealing with a major application, as this is. There will be a public hearing in Greenock Town Hall, probably in June when objectors, the applicant and council planning offi cers will state their case. The 11 members of the planning board will then come to a decision whether to approve or refuse and this result will then go to the Full Council of 22 councillors for their determination. Local Plan: The Inverclyde Local Development Plan has been examined by the Reporter and came back with few changes. During the fi ve years of the plan the reporter agrees with the Council that there is no need to release green belt in and around Kilmacolm for housing. This may be challenged but it is the settled position of the Council. Roads: SPT are considering new bus shelters in the village near the Cross. It is hoped that they will have lighting. The upgrading of the Lochwinnoch Road at the Cross has been completed. This area had been patched and patched to extinction and some who observed our staff at work commented on their professionalism. Rural roads continue to be upgraded. Craiglinsheoch, Muirhouse, Burnbank and Auchenfoyle Roads have been completed and works will be done to strengthen the parapet at the old Auchenfoyle bridge and widening of the one at Glenmill. The latter keeps getting damaged. Roads offi cers have been working with residents in Duchal Road to assist access to their driveways due to congestion. T Bars are being painted at driveways to attempt to deter parking nearby. I shall monitor this initiative closely but the parking study established clearly that we need extra long stay parking in the village. Public Transport: The Greenock/Kilmacolm/Quarriers/Houston/Linwood/ Johnstone1/1a/2a/X6a/X7 McGills bus services are going to SPT committee for renewal for 5 years at a cost of approaching £1m subsidy. I will report the outcome at the next edition. There is a social necessity to subsidise bus routes to towns and villages with no service. PGHS annual music concert: This was a tour de force. It featured 43 acts/ performances featuring a dozen winners from the Inverclyde Music Festival. A smashing evening and academically and musically this school is going places. The fi nal medley by the Soul Band was a show stopper. Stepping Out: presented by the Kilmacolm Dramatic Society had a fabulous fi nal act when the whole cast performed tap in top hat and tails. Given that I understand that only one member could tap before rehearsals it was a quite superb performance. I was happy to sponsor the society’s application for funds for stage lighting. Conservation: There is a Conservation Area appraisal of Quarriers Village being conducted. The Council have appointed architectural fi rm Austin- Smith for this purpose. The appraisal helps to identify the special interest and changing needs of a conversation area. They inform policy and assist development management. Cruise control: The cruise season has started in Greenock and 75 stop offs, a record , are expected. The Cunard Queen Victoria and Elizabeth return again to the Clyde. The council is in partnership with Peel in a £15m expansion of the Ocean Terminal. The development on shore and in the water will be ready for next year. Plant Sale: The Annual Plant Sale at the Masonic Lodge Glebe Road will be on the 17th, 18th, 19th and 24th, 25th and 26th May. Surgeries: at St Mary’s Episcopal Port Glasgow 5.30pm - 6.30pm 20th May and the Cargill 10am - 11am 25th May.
