Tynron was very well represented at a packed meeting last night in Keir Hall and we each had the chance to place 6 votes for our preferred project ideas. If you weren’t able to come along, you can make YOUR selection by going to https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/KPTVoting The deadline for voting will be 3rd February.

The most popular ideas will be included in a Community Action Plan. Community Enterprise will then suggest funders who could be approached for grants. The windfarm money could be used to provide the match funding which is usually required.

A copy of the Action Plan and a detailed report on the Community Consultation will be circulated to you, in due course.

Please encourage everyone in your household to get involved and vote.

Do you need a grit bin near you? Is there a drain which needs unblocking?

Drop into the Meeting on Saturday between 2pm and 4pm

Please pop into Tynron Hall tomorrow afternoon between 2pm and 4pm, to find out more about the Community Council’s plans to set up a Resilience Team. This will help us all cope better with events such as heavy snow, ice, fallen trees and flooding. We would like you to tell us about problems near where you live. Tea and cakes will be available.

If you would like to volunteer to help with problems, please come along or contact Mary Newbould on maryn@dalmakerran.plus.com

Resilience Launch event – Drop into Tynron Hall on Saturday 21st January between 2pm – 4pm Tea and Cakes available.

Dumfries and Galloway Council are encouraging each Community to develop a plan to use local resources and expertise so that they can help themselves and vulnerable people in an emergency, in a way that complements the response of the emergency services.

The Community Council are very aware that people in Tynron have always been prepared to pitch in and help each other in difficult times. We certainly DON’T wish to discourage this. However, the advantage for us in having a Plan is that anyone who is named as volunteer would be covered by insurance. We also may be able to bid for additional funding for equipment.

The CC set up a Working Party and they have drafted a Plan for Tynron which

1) Gives contact details of people who can co-ordinate help in an emergency and liaise with the Council and other Services

2) Lists the kinds of things which might go wrong e.g. Flooding, Heavy Snow etc. and how we can deal with them

3) Identifies ways of supporting vulnerable people

We are pleased to say that a number of people have already volunteered their expertise and equipment. If you would like to help, please contact Mary Newbould on 200379

To find out more and give us your ideas, please drop in to our Resilience Launch Event on Saturday 21st January 2pm – 4pm in Tynron Hall Tea, cakes and refreshments will be provided.
