3. Matters arising from previous minutes.
I. MML sent an email to MaCOLL to inform them of the NLCC support.
II. MMD spoke to Tony from The Men’s Shed regarding the upgrading of noticeboards, he will check them out, but this may take some time to get round them all.

4. Police not present. We received an email from Stephen Cooper explaining the Police Scotland no longer expects their officers to attend CC meetings. Stephen Cooper would still like to attend, where possible, if he is available and on duty. The CC committee would very much appreciate this as we feel it is an asset to the community to keep regular communication with our local constabulary. The NLCC are grateful for Stephen Cooper’s regular correspondence and attendance.
