Highland Council – new model scheme for Community Councils
Marybank, Scatwell and Strathconon Community Council – letter informing Community Council that SSE have decided that Garve & District will not receive any community benefit for the Fairburn Windfarm development.
Liz Fraser from E-on had contacted Helen by telephone with regards to having a private meeting with Community Council members only with regards to Windfarm development. Community Council felt that this was not appropriate and felt that E-on should hold public meetings. E-on have now decided to hold public meetings on the 1st of July in Garve Village Hall and on the 2nd July in Achnasheen Hall. Robbie Bain from Highland Council felt that it would be beneficial to hold a meeting to discuss the structure for community benefit from windfarms – he will organise and chair this in September.
Low Flying – Squadron Leader Gilbert has re-scheduled talk and this will now take place on 1st December 2009 at Achnasheen Hall. Sheree to write and confirm.

Booking of Halls for meetings – Sheree to double check and confirm that bookings for Halls have been made, also book for Coffee mornings and Christmas Fare.
