Fife council have acted on the more obvious plants along the Kinnessburn, though there are still signs (23/08/98) of secondary growth/young plants. Secretary wrote to John Stark, East Area Environmental Health Manager, and received a very complete reply which:
(July 4.5.) Outcome of Fife Councillors meeting with Assessor in Fife, Duncan Chisholm.

(March '98) Secretary spoke at Fife Council Regulation Committee in Cupar (27/8/98). Shell to have 6 months trial on the promise of better behaviour. It is possible to appeal within 28 days of this decision.

Letter received from Deputy Chief Constable Bennett reporting a reduction in incidents (as reported by PC Cumming (July 2.4)).
Copy of report from Brian Wilson, Housing Investigation Officer, regarding King Street forwarded by Veronica Henderson, Locality Manager at the Local Office. She says he's willing to attend Community Council to discuss the situation. Do we wish to take up this offer?
Fife Council have been approached by Mrs Nan Hagen Gorman of the Hazard Sister City Committee proposing a formal twinning with St Andrews. Hazard (pop 5,500 approx) is an industrial city in SE Kentucky, itself a tourist area popular for boating, fishing and hunting. http://virtweb3.mis.net/east/hazard/
"European Netd@ys runs from 17th to 24th October 1998 and is designed to expose children to the pedagogical value of the internet." St Andrews has been chosen for the launch lunch on Monday 19th Oct.
Will we sponsor this for £50?
The Scottish War Memorials Group would like to know where all the memorials are in Scotland. They want to cover everything from memorial halls through formal monuments to individual plaques.
Do we have anyone knowledgeable/willing enough to research this and fill out the questionnaire?
Those affecting St Andrews: 58 St Andrews-Dunfermline, 61/61A Leven-St Andrews. Leaflet outlining other changes available or contact Fife Council Transport info tel 01592-416060.
Some copies to be circulated.
Mr Douglas Keir hopes to establish this and has written to all community councillors in Fife asking for their support. In the first instance he would like posters distributed. Does anyone have further information and do we wish to support this?
Two copies received, plus a copy of Computers Don't Bite magazine, and an advert from a clockmaker asking if we'd like a clock for our town, village, church or clubhouse (should I forward the latter to the University for the chapel perhaps?). The ASCC is on the internet at http://www.mbn.co.uk/ascc/
(Reports etc).
Including 200 Club draw for August and September
report attached
The formation of this committee was held over in July pending further details from Mr Salter. Is such a committee to form?
Again this was held over from last meeting. Is there enough interest to form such a committee?
Mr Jim Gray of Queens Gardens urges that the Saltire flag at the Town Hall be replaced as it is tattered and doesn't make a good impression for visitors.

It is now time for the promised review of the AFZ's effectiveness and submissions are to be made by 20th September asking for any changes. We have received no formal approach on this as yet (surely Fife Council are not trying to slip this one by?) but presumably our position from last year should be reiterated to them.
