Burst water main
There is a burst water main in the Ardlui Gardens area. There is now loss of water in the area. This has been reported to Scottish Water and they hope to get out today to this. You can report any difficulty on 0800 731 0840 and we would urge any householders affected to report this.
Many residents will be aware that there has been a long term problem with the water main in this area and the Association have today been contacted by a Gemma Middlemass who has assured us that Scottish Water will contact the Association regarding what they propose long term to resolve this recurring problem, particularly with new houses being built in the area and bearing in mind that Scottish Water were working in the Hunter Road area the other day.
We will try to advise of any update on the situation as and when we receive any further information.

Tree preservation order for Milngavie town centre
We like Milngavie have requested that the following petition by the Community Council should be publicised:
Trees which contribute to the amenity of an area may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). Milngavie Community Council has raised a petition requesting that EDC place such an order on the area of trees south of Woodburn Way which surrounds the railway station, fish ladder and Tesco's Gavin's Mill site. Note that the trees on all sides of this area are already protected.
We Like Milngavie strongly supports this petition, since these trees contribute greatly to the attractiveness of our town and their loss would change the area completely. Full details are on the Community Council's website:
http://www.milngavie.org/petition/about.html
We hope that as many people as possible will sign the petition before it closes at the end of the month. Please help in one or more of the following ways:
1. Sign online - this is quick and easy - see web link above.
2. Email your contacts to do likewise.
3. Sign a paper copy in the village on Saturday, 27th April.
4. Print a paper copy of the petition from the weblink above and collect signatures from friends and neighbours - even a few will help! These may be handed in to the Information Centre in the village (next to the Fraser Centre) by 30 April.
Please do not sign both paper and online versions of the petition.
At present there is nothing to stop these trees being felled at any time - perhaps simply to make way for large advertisements. This has happened already at Kwik Fit!
Note also that Tesco's previous application would have resulted in the felling of about 150 mature trees. Yet despite numerous objections from the community, planning officers gave no consideration in their report to the impact this would have had on the town centre environment.

Your chance to be on TV?
MERA have been sent the under noted e-mail, and we are posting it here in case anyone is interested in following it up.
"My name is Bekah and I work at a TV production company in Leeds. I wasn't sure if you or your members might be interested, but I thought it might be worth a try. My company is working on a new series for Channel 4 called 'Compare Your Life'. We're still in the casting stages and we're looking for couples or families who are wanting to escape the rat race and buy a business. If this is something you think your members might be interested in, would you mind just passing along the word? I'll include a link to explain a bit more about the show, but if you do have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

New waste and recycling collection arrangements
We have received notification of roadshows that are due to take place with regard to the new waste uplifts and the introduction of food recycling:
Thursday 21 February 2013, 10 am - 4 pm at the Farmers' Market, Milngavie
Thursday 7 March 2013, 10 am - 4 pm at Asda, Bearsden
Saturday 9 March 2013, 10 am - 4 pm at Tesco, Milngavie

Sunday 28 April 2013, 10 am - 4 pm at Tesco, Milngavie
Tuesday 30 April 2013, 10 am - 4 pm at Asda, Bearsden
Sunday 5 May 2013, 10 am - 4 pm at Tesco, Milngavie
Saturday 25 May 2013, 10 am - 4 pm at Asda, Bearsden
There will also be evening drop in sessions on Monday 15 April 2013 at St Joseph's Primary School and Wednesday 17 April 2013 at Bearsden Primary School. Both these sessions run from 6.30 pm - 8.30 pm.
These sessions will provide householders with information regarding the replacement of the blue and black recycling boxes with two slimline wheelie bins. One new wheelie bin will be blue and used to collect card and paper only. The other will be brown and will be used to collect cans, plastic bottles and glass only.
One week the two new wheelie bins will be collected with the recycling and the following week the grey general waste bin will be collected. Therefore, to summarise, these bins will go to fortnightly collection on alternate weeks.
The fortnightly garden waste collection from the green bin will not change.
Householders will be issued with two new food caddies, one for inside the property and one for outside. It is intended that waste food should be collected inside the internal food caddie and then emptied into the outside kerbside caddie which will be collected weekly.
Details can be found on the Council website, and further information can be found via the Milngavie Herald
