Rob has agreed to be Roads correspondent and Graeme joins John in the Planning group. Andy and Julie are representatives on the board of Strathblane Community Development Trust. Grace is representative on the Village Club committee. Julie is delegate to the Mugdock Country Park Management Committee.
Ideally there would be 11 seats filled on the community council. We plan to co-opt a couple of members who served in the last term – volunteers to help with the work of the community council are always welcome to get in touch.
