PUBLIC MEETING

Invitation to an Open Meeting for all Barrhill Residents
Wednesday, 26th September 2018

20mph Speed Limits in Villages in South Ayrshire.

Following the public meeting held on 16th November 2017, when a consultation was held to confirm that the residents of Barrhill wanted a 20mph speed limit to be introduced in the area, the proposed design for these measures has now been completed.

This meeting will again be addressed by Kevin Braidwood, Operations' Manager of Ayrshire Roads Alliance, when the design on how the lowered speed limit might be effectively implemented, given the specific local road structure and pattern of usage, will be put to residents for consultation.

This will be the public's last opportunity to give their views on the design and residents are therefore urged to attend.

Please come along to this Open Meeting on Wednesday 26th September at 7pm when this matter will be discussed, and let us know your views.

Roadshows for Girvan area ahead of new recycling service

People living in Girvan and the surrounding area are being given a chance to find out more about the new recycling service being introduced later this year at a series of roadshows. From October, two new bins will be used to collect ‘Paper, Card and Cardboard’, and ‘Glass Bottles and Jars’, with blue bins changing to ‘Metals, Plastics and Cartons’.

Around 6,500 properties in Girvan, Crosshill, Dailly, Barr, Old Dailly, Pinmore, Pinwherry, Barrhill, Colmonell, Ballantrae, Lendalfoot, Straiton, Kirkmichael, Kirkoswald, Turnberry & surrounding rural properties will be the first to use the new service. Letters detailing the changes are being sent to all properties, with the new bins being delivered in September.

The new service will help increase the quality of the waste that we collect for recycling, while also increasing the amount of materials South Ayrshire recycles. Working with Zero Waste Scotland, the Council is introducing an enhanced collection schedule between October 2018 and April 2019.

The roadshows for Girvan and the surrounding area are scheduled to be held in August:

• Barrhill Community Centre (10-11am), Monday 13th
• Dailly Community Centre (2-4pm), Monday 13th
• Colmonell Community Centre (1-3pm), Tuesday 14th
• Pinwherry Community Centre (3.30-4.30pm),Tuesday 14th
• Barr Community Centre (5.30- 7.30pm),Tuesday 14th
• Straiton Community CentreTBC (10-11am), Wednesday 15th
• McCosh Hall – Kirkmichael (12-2pm), Wednesday 15th
• Girvan Community Centre (12-2pm), Wednesday 15th
• Richmond Hall – Kirkoswald (11am-1pm),Thursday 16th
• Girvan Community Centre (7-9pm), Wednesday 22nd

South Ayrshire Council signed-up to the national Household Recycling Charter in 2016, which is designed to introduce a consistent approach to recycling across Scotland. The Scottish Government is introducing a ban on items such as food waste going to landfill from January 2021.

More information on the new service, including a detailed frequently asked question section, can be found here

Litter

Litter along the roadsides is an ongoing problem in and around the village. The Community Council has been negotiating with South Ayrshire Council about litter signs for almost 2 years now with still no end product.

In a hope of improving the litter problem the CC has purchased litter pickers, gloves and bags which are available to anyone who is motivated enough to do some litter picking.

If you need any of these items contact either:

Ann Robertson on 07766 740179 or Andrew Clegg on 01465 821456

and we will get the supplies needed to you.

Required to facilitate resurfacing works, for more information contact Tommy Thorburn Tel. 01563 576445. The closure will only be in place between the hours of 0930 &1530.
The works will be carried out by Hillhouse Quarry Group.

The diversion route during the works (attached) is along the A77 then onto the A75 as per previous works in the area. We have planned to have information boards at key locations and there will be two VMS (one at Barrhill and the other at Newton Stewart) at least two weeks prior to work commencing.

We also plan some permanent patching south of Barrhill while the road closure is in place.

Between 30 April and 4 May 2018 contractors will be carrying out some preparatory work on this section of public road. To ensure the safety of all parties this activity will be carried out under traffic management conditions with the road remaining open.

To allow the work to progress as efficiently and quickly as possible a temporary road closure will be required between Tuesday 8 May and Friday 18 May 2018. The closure will be in place between 07.30 and 17.30 hours each day with the road being reopened each night. The road will also be open over the weekend of 12 and 13 May 2018.

A diversion route will be clearly signed for use when the timed road closure is in operation and all these arrangements will take place under the guidance and agreement of the council roads department. SPEN thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter and ask that you follow any instructions displayed on signage and requests of the contractors at site.

In relation to accessing Barrhill Train Station – the contractors will have a shuttle bus service from the car park next to Barrhill Memorial Hall.

Should you have any site or access enquiries relating to the work please contact ID Verde on 07738 834252.

I would take this opportunity to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused to local residents and ensure you that all parties involved in the work will do the utmost to keep disruption to a minimum and complete the work as safely and quickly as possible.

DOG FOULING AND USE OF POOP BAGS

The Community Council would like to remind dog owners that "poop" bags are available free of charge from the village shop.
Please be considerate to other members of the community and clean up after your dogs misdeeds.

The use of "poop" bags has been successful in helping to keep the village clean but some people are still being inconsiderate in having very kindly bagged their dogs poop they have then just hung the bag in a nearby bush or tree. Being a generous soul I would like to think that they were put there with the intention of collecting them on the return journey of their walk rather than a deliberate act. Please dispose of "poop" bags in a hygienic and environmentaly friendly way.
