July - Alyth Voice

Alyth Environmental Group Report
Gala Day
The Group, like many others, were very disappointed that the Gala was
cancelled. Much work from the members had gone into preparing for the
day. It is now planned that a stall will be taken, at the Arts& Crafts Festival
in August, to put on display the projects the AEG is involved in.
May Tasks
The latest two hour task, in May saw a clean up the old curling rink on
the Market Muir, by five embers and two teenage lads. Michael Smailes
and Richard Gould are working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze
Awards. It could be the ring might be used for some other purposes in
future. Rubbish was cleared from the adjoining woods and the war memorial
within the two hours. Clive is actively seeking the owners to discuss
the possibility of more work there to restore the ponds and woodland.
The group understands that there are “limitations of use “ concerning the
Muir but would welcome the ideas of anyone for putting this valuable
asset back into use.
Drumderg Wind Farm
All is very quiet, but things should perk up soon as a planning application
was due to be presented to PKC during June. The website is still
being worked on by Robert Stewart, it is hoped to be up and running
soon.
Recycling Point Facelift
To be passed on to Alyth Youth Partnership as a possible future project.
Beech Hedge At Alyth PS
No response from the school re finishing this project.
Alyth Hill
The AEG is to contact Scottish Natural Heritage concerning an ecological
survey. A cow, grazing on Alyth Hill, almost chocked to death on the
top pf a plastic ”sucky” drinks bottle. This brings to light the problem of
litter dropping particularly in places where the road cleaner does not
operate. For the sake of other humans and the animals DON’T DROP
LITTER, PLEASE TAKE IT HOME.
Scottish Outdoor Access Code
The group is grateful to member, Paul Fannon, for the work he has done
in preparing the AEG’s proposed response. This will be distributed to all
other members for comment and amendment prior to being returned to
SNH.
Den O’ Alyth
We now have the plans form the P&K Ranger Service, for wheel chair
friendly paths which SNH has approved. The total cost of the project
could be £70,000.
The group has received £10,000 in funding from PK Countryside Trust.
We have a promise of a further £10,000 from another source.
We should hear soon if our Heritage Lottery Fund bid has been successful,
meanwhile Clive and Charles are still putting bids together.
Small Task Funding
Small grants of about £200 are available from The Countryside Trust for
jobs such as installing a kissing gate or signing.
New Alyth School Link
No reply from School
Trodlem Footpath
This path to Alyth Hill, is the subject of the group’s July task but it has
been decided that some preliminary work will be carried out Sunday
morning 22nd June. As always
the July task will be at 2pm, 20th July, meeting at the junction of Strathmore
Terrace and Trodlem.
Alyth Road Sweeper
Clive has found out that if anybody sees an area that needs cleaning the
road sweeper will be pleased to hear about it as he does not work a fixed
round.
The AEG next meeting is in the Alyth Hotel on Thursday 17th July at
7.30pm
