Helensburgh Community Council Update October 2023 
It is with great sadness that we inform the community of the death of our convener of the last eight
years, Norman Muir. 
Norman was a great champion of the town in so many ways and was frequently found tidying the
shrub beds in Colquhoun Square, cleaning the beach and out and about troubleshooting the
provision of rubbish bins, problems with parking etc etc. 
Recently he had been instrumental in the setting up of a local business group. 
Norman was the lead organiser of the annual Remembrance Parade in Hermitage Park and sadly it
will go ahead this year without him. 
The community appreciation of Norman was evident in the local press and on social media with so
many heartfelt tributes from local residents, organisations and officials. 
Norman Helensburgh thanks and remembers you for everything you did to make it a better place for
residents and visitors alike. 
Other Community Council business continues in his absence with the HCC having been chosen as one
of the preferred bidders for the waterfront, continued involvement in planning applications and our
regular beach cleans and shrub bed tidying. 
We hope that many of you will join us for the Annual Remembrance Day Parade in Hermitage Park at
the War Memorial on November 12th at 10:30 am. Please see the details in the poster attached. 
Sarah Davies
HCC Secretary
