The MSC meetings have now resumed using Zoom. So what has been happening?

  1. The Birch Walk: This is now more or less complete. New gates for walkers/cyclists are now in place at either end of the walk as well as five new benches. The first section of the path, at the Tullochclury end, has been left as it is as Forestry and Land Scotland will be accessing this section in 2021 and will be laying their own foundation.
  2. Moy roadside path: Some maintenance work has recently taken place– leaf clearing, culvert cleaning and general tidying before winter comes in. This is being done by McGowans who have a maintenance contract.
  3. Salt: We have a limited number of bags of salt left over from last year. Please get in touch with any of the committee members and we can arrange to drop them off. Priority will be given to the elderly or vulnerable.
  4. Moy FB pages: We now have two pages. Please ‘like’ and join our public FB page (Moy sub committee) if you haven’t already done so – it is a good way to keep in touch, share photos and ideas. We also have a new FB page (MoySC) which is private and you need to ask to join or be invited.
  5. The pads in the defibrillator have been changed as required and the ‘old ’pads will be used for defibrillator training when allowed to resume.
