More people involved in the Skate Park Playing fields/sports facilities Cycle path network/off road path Initial databases for carbon project not too helpful e.g. EST forms. May be better taking a “sample approach” to see what worked in different properties and types of families Costs of Culty Quake for families (though accept lessons learned) Link with village to Camp improve things/access rights Easy access to Cultybraggan Camp Drop in numbers @ open meetings and Working Groups as well as domination at meetings of a few detractors Village involvement i.e. identify and de-mystify the people in the CDT office , committee Liaison between community groups – CDT rep on these. ‘them’ and ‘us’ mentality – needed to address this earlier Investigation of different funding strands More “brass neck” Transport issue to camp Training, apprenticeship i.e. help when doing work in the camp Off road path to Camp

Self-powering for the whole village using renewables and energy efficiency. Food processing, juice etc in one of the huts? (orchard) Encourage more and varied small businesses Develop positive perceptions of the Trust Consolidation and making visible – especially at the Camp Keep office in the village or will lose Comrie Development Trust and become Cultybraggan Trust What about calling the camp Cultybraggan Park (suggestion from John Lumsden) Development of Cinema Back to futures centre (2) Sports Group – tennis Memorial event Community involvement – emotional/psychological Separate group to investigate non-government funding Ceilidhs etc with tickets regularly as fundraiser Path to Crieff (2) Traffic free access from village Consider a small proportion of the land for affordable housing development Demonstration area for renewable energy sources, perhaps some suppliers encouraged to provide samples/demos and advice Continue use/help from school age children and young adults Get Sports Facility up and running Community Website – develop to attract visitors and community use Playground Business networking and co-operation Local museum – finance needed Youth club meeting place Re name camp: COMRUITH CAMP or something similar |
