3. Community Policing-
The police are continuing their speed checks and it was hoped that a safety camera might be able to be used in Drum, but this is not possible due to poor sight lines. A bus stop is not considered a suitable site.
If the public have any information about any potential protest during the Olympic flame run through Crook of Devon, could they please contact the police.

There were no amendments so the minutes were signed off. A member of the public was concerned about the number of pupils at Seamab School. Stating that according to planning consent there should only be a maximum of 15 children in the school at any given time. Cllr. K Baird said she would investigate the situation.

5. Matters Arising:

- War Memorial, Blairingone
There has been helpful correspondence from the council and OS maps of the site have been obtained. A Lavery will make the planning application to obtain planning permission to move the war memorial.

-Community Speed Watch
This is proving very useful and there has been a noticeable slowing down of vehicles through Crook of Devon. The project will be monitored by the police and if it is a success, equipment may be purchased by the community, and checks could be carried out throughout the Fossoway area. The aim of the project is not catch people speeding, but to change their behaviour, and to observe the speed limits.

-Olympic Flame
The Flame will pass through Crook of Devon at 8.15 am. 13th June. The runner will start in Drum.

-Crook of Devon Church Car Park
Plans are progressing, and the church has provided a cheque for the planning application. The CC will submit the application. People are invited to register their support, once the planning application has been lodged.

-Tayside and Local Development Plans
The date for comment has passed. Local meetings run by Mike Barnacle were by and large well attended and appreciated. Thanks to Mike Barnacle. The results of the consultation are due in Sept.-Oct.

-Core Path signposting
There was concern that landowners should be consulted about signage and it is hoped that David Stubbs would contact them. Requests may be made for new gates. The council will try to maintain the signs, but this will be subject to budget constraints.
