LCC agreed to write an open letter to the five elected members proposing that £1.25m allocated to the i3 site in Irvine be repurposed and shared between communities, with Largs's share going towards a community minibus, flower beds on the promenade and, subject to funds remaining, works to reopen the Aubery toilets. Other community councils were to be asked to support the approach. In February 2026 CCllr Woodburn recorded that he had asked about redistributing the money to local communities in August 2025 and had received no reply.

Largs Events recorded difficulty securing a budget for the Christmas lights, and that North Ayrshire Council declined to approve money from the car park fund because of previous budget decisions. Council electricians were no longer certified to install on AMEY street furniture, and completing the installation through AMEY's appointed contractor cost Largs Events approximately £3,000. AMEY has put the cost forward to its community fund.

The effect of high energy prices on local businesses was raised, together with an arrangement by which local communities can buy energy at a reduced rate. Businesses would need to be involved.

The Secretary raised that free school lunches were available in libraries across North Ayrshire except Largs, and recorded the expectation that this was a clerical error.

A letter from LCC to the Chair of Helter Skelter requesting a trustee position remained unanswered. The minutes record LCC's disappointment that its offer to be involved had not been responded to.

Funding for the Food Hub was due to end in October, which was not known when the hub opened. The two meetings name the funder differently — Scottish Government funding in January, North Ayrshire Council funding in February. Concern was recorded about its viability after only a year, and about how much is expected of volunteers. A larder network meeting in March was to discuss finances.
