Status: Draft Minutes

Summary

Findochty Community Council met on 2 November with five members of the public present. A Police Scotland sergeant attended, in place of Sgt Cuthbert, to hear residents’ concerns about ongoing antisocial behaviour in the village. Residents were reminded to report every incident, using the online form for non-emergencies, and the Community Council will keep pressing Moray Council and the local MSP for action.

Good news: Moray Council has installed a grit bin next to the school and will keep it refilled.

The minutes of 5 October and the 2025/26 accounts, independently examined by Andrea Woodhead, were approved and will go to Moray Council.

Other matters:

• Crooked Hythe benches: a quote of £4,188 would use most of the Community Council’s funds, so members will prioritise urgent repairs and seek grant funding.
• Seaview Road: no reply yet from Seafield Estate about leasing land for seating.
• 20 mph signs: Moray Council is writing to landowners about vegetation blocking the larger signs.
• Learning Estate Review: Moray Council says no decision or option exists for Findochty Primary. The full reply will be published.
• Winter bulbs will be planted shortly.
• The asset register has been sent to the insurer.
• The Community Council is reviewing its resilience plan against the new UK and Scottish Government guidance.
  Scottish Government reform proposals: Paul Kerrison will attend an online event on 5 November.
• The coastal path by the golf course is narrowing; Paul Kerrison will ask who is responsible for clearing it.

The next meeting is on Monday, 7 December 2026 at 6:00 pm.
