We also talked about Pawsitive Action and how successful it's been ~ well done Jacquie, Tony and everyone else who helped ~ and a couple of things coming up. So, dates for your diary: at the June meeting, Tuesday 1* at 7.30 in the Guild Room of the Parish Church (the smaller of the halls, entrance at the right-hand side of the big church on Church St), Toby Wilson from the RSPB will be talking about their pro- posals for “biodiversity improve- ments” at their reserve, Basically they are considering changes to Aird Meadow (the bit in front of the shop) which will, hopefully, attract more birds where they're easy to see, and alterations to the way the water gets around Barr Loch. This is at an early consultation stage in the planning Process. ‘Tuesday 64 July, same time, same place, Scott Allan, Renfrewshire ‘Couneil’s new Head of Roads, is coming to diseuss the winter gritting programme. Ifyou can remember ‘what was good (or bad) last winter, or have any ideas for improvement, come along. The idea's to help him to give usa better service next time wwe have a bad winter, not just com- plain about last winter's problems ~ especially as Scott wasn’t in charge then. ‘There's a suggestion that we have a “Yuletide Celebration” on the day the Christmas lights are turned on, the same sort of thing as places like Dalry and Kilbirnie have. Maybe rides and stalls outside the McKillop and a charity event inside the hall, from lunchtime until the fireworks. ‘This would take some ideas from the Brown Bull’s 200% street party, though not necessarily including closing the road. On the face of it, this seems to be a great idea, but some of the village shops are worried that it could lose them busi- ness at this critical time of year, so the Community Council has set up a com- mittee to try and keep everyone happy. As the work around the McKillop had nearly finished, and there’s been quite a lot of complaints about what we got, we invited Fraser Carlin, Renfrewshire Council's new Head of Planning (it was his project in his previous job), to meet us there and explain. think it's a great improvement on what vas there before, but not what T was ex- pecting. Anyway, there were two main areas of concern ~ the changes to the materials and to the design. Fraser's ex- planations were that real Caithness stone could not be used because it would have taken too long to get (this project HAD to be done quickly) as well as being three times the price, With a fixed budget, this would have meant a much smaller area being done. Most of the de- sign changes were as a result of the con- sultations — people wanted the more open design, green benches were pre- ferred to black or silver, ete. By the way, the small areas of gravel around the trees should be enough to water them naturally, especially as the water table is quite shallow here. Some things were still to be finished, like the detail in front of the hall steps and the concrete bench. ‘The hall steps have suffered from the harsh winter, not the contractors, and will be repaired by the Council, along with lots of other hall steps in Ren- frewshire. ‘This is my personal take on things - for the official Community Council line you'll have to read the minutes!

SAVE YOUR REGIONAL PARK Campaign www.saveyourregionalpark.com Glenlora, Lochwinnoch - Anaerobic Digester Application Finally Refused by Renfrewshire Council ‘There has been an on-going saga with this application since our report in March 2010 and readers will remember that the developer had given 3 different varia tions of the feedstock to be digested to create methane from which electricity would be generated. We wondered whether there would be a 4th alteration. ‘The 27% April was the date set for the application to be placed on the agenda of the Planning and Economic Development Policy Board by the Planning Dept and 1s there were no further documents on the Renfrewshire Council website, a visit ‘was made to the Paisley offices to view the file. It was found that the file had even less documents than the website and, on enquiring, were told that the file had been removed by the Police who were investigating a possible fraud. We were allowed to see a number of new documents which were on the Council's own com- puter system though not on their website and, surprise surprise, possible new foodstock had been advised! To quote ”...There is also one other facility in the area which will be targeting a similar waste stream as the proposed plant.

As such, the following types of end use are deemed to be the best potential outputs: commercial properties & offices, hotels & communal residences and new hous- ing developments*. This raises many questions regarding the developer's long term plans for development in this part of Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park. It was also learnt that the recommenda- tion of the Planning Dept was that the development should be approved by the Planning and Economic Development Policy Board on 27/4/10. However the Board insisted that no decision should be made until representatives of the com- mittee undertook a site visit and more information was provided on the sources of feedstock and the distances it would be transported. ‘At the meeting of the Planning and Eco- nomic Development Policy Board on 18% May, the application was refused on the basis ” the proposal would be detrimen- tal to the visual amenity of the rural landscape by reason of its size, design and locationand no compelling justifica- tion for a facility at this location has been demonstrated which would out- weigh this adverse effect’. It is also an- ticipated that the legal action taken by certain individuals may well have as- sisted the meeting's decision to refuse this application, ‘Thank you to all our members who at- tended both these Planning meetings and congratulations to the Renfrewshire Councillors for a good and wise decision.
