The AGM was an opportunity to reflect on the changes to the Newtongrange Community Council and prepare for an increasing membership as more in the community want to support the village’s development.
Following the AGM, and agreement on the NCC objectives being fit for purpose, a condensed meeting raised actions about the formation of the Newtongrange Masterplan steering group, double roundabout repainting, reduced bus services, park seating.
Ahead of Remembrance Sunday, attandance at this meeting was a clear indicator of community frustration about the state of our public spaces and willingness to contribute to village development. Cllr Jim Muirhead was in attendance to hear it first hand.
Attendance expected from Gareth Davies with an update on Masterplan and responses expected on library hours, weeds and flowerbed upkeep
Open forum with Christine Graham MSP, to raise local issues – village centre development, bus and train services expected to be highlighted
"It was a good life": Memories and Landscape in the Mining Communities of East Ayrshire
Free Online Talk
Thursday 21st March - 5:00pm
In this talk, Dr Yvonne McFadden will explore the role of place in remembering the miner’s rows in East Ayrshire. Little now remains of the row villages throughout Ayrshire but they live on in the memories of the villagers and their families. We will look at coalfield maps and through the stories of the villagers and their descendants we will reconstruct the lives of the women, men and children who called these rows their home.
The event is FREE but registration is required. Book online at www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/memories-and-landscape-in-the-mining-communities-of-east-ayrshire-tickets-...
