The Minutes of the meeting held on 23 April 2015 were approved as a true and correct record and signed by the Leader.

Councillor Lee Dillon noted that the responses to formal questions submitted by members of the public and by Council Members were not contained within the Minutes, but understood they were published verbatim in a separate document. Councillor Dillon asked for a link to be included in the Minutes to the Question and Answer document. Councillor Gordon Lundie agreed to this suggestion which would be implemented by Strategic Support.

There were no declarations of interest received.

There were no public questions submitted.

Councillor Marcus Franks presented a petition, on behalf of the residents of Speen, which contained 500 signatures and which strongly opposed to proposals put forward to convert part of the Starting Gate Car Park into commercial premises. Particular concerns were in relation to an increase in traffic and associated road safety risks which could arise should the proposals be approved. As the petition referred to a planner matter it would be forwarded to Planning and Countryside and considered as part of the planning application process for the site.
