For those who haven't received a new schedule from the council (has anyone in Delph Wynd?) covering the blue, green and brown bin pick-ups for the next year, there's a copy attached to this message (thanks Eddie).

Although this doesn't directly impact residents in Delph Wynd, it does directly affect the residents in Menstrie and those in West Myerton who've been very helpful in other matters than concern us.

Clacks Council has received an application to build a wind turbine in Menstrie - people can comment/object to this application until tomorrow, 13 October.  If anyone has something to say about this, please send your comments to this link:

Hi all,

There is to be a Big Dirty Weekend on Sunday 7th June - more info on this link

This is organised by Clackmannanshire Voluntary Service (CVS) and is something which we should all support.  Apparently, the council lawyers have discovered that the strip of land between the park and the retaining wall which holds up the gardens of nos 2 - 22 (and probably stops most of the estate from falling into the pond) still belongs to the council and NOT Greenbelt.

CVS will be doing work in the week before the event to clean up that strip of woodland and repair paths, etc.

John
