Always be mindful of your belongings particularly around major tourist attractions. As you attempt to adjust to your new environment, it can be very easy to let your guard down, so remember to use common sense and be aware of your surroundings at all times. Safety Tips Keep emergency numbers stored on your mobile phone and keep your Arcadia emergency and HTH insurance cards in your wallet at all times. Be sure to firmly close and lock all windows and doors when leaving your room/flat/building and never leave an outside door to a residence hall propped open. Lock your room door behind you and take your keys even if just going to use the bathroom or to a common area in the building. Never give your keys to anyone and always keep them separate from anything with your address on it. Be aware of who you let into your building – do not let yourself be cross- examined by strangers, and if you do not feel comfortable do not let them in. Report anything suspicious. Never carry your wallet or purse in your back pocket. Be sure to close handbags and carry them in front of you with the fastener on the inside. Only carry your passport with you if you are on your way out of the country or in other necessary situations. Beware of pick-pockets in large cities, particularly around tourist attractions and large crowds. Never openly count or show your money. Be cautious when using ATMs, especially late at night. When waiting to pay for something, hold money safely out of sight. Be especially careful when travelling. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid situations that make you uncomfortable. Remember to take maps and guidebooks to avoid becoming lost in unfamiliar locations. If you are unsure of your location and feel uncomfortable, walking confidently into a shop to check your map is better than doing so on a street corner. Stay near busy, well-lit areas and wherever possible walk with a friend or in a group—especially at night. - 8 - If someone threatens you with force or violence in an attempt to rob you, give them what they want and be cooperative. It is not worth risking personal injury to save material goods. Report any incidents to the police immediately. Always cooperate with the police. In the event that your purse or wallet is lost or stolen: Cancel all credit/bank cards. Report the incident to the police. Report the loss/theft of a passport to the US embassy or consulate. Check with the Arcadia Center for a replacement student ID card and emergency loan if necessary. Public Transport Britain’s public transport systems are very safe and are used by millions of commuters daily. Nevertheless, extra care and attention should be taken when using public transport systems in major cities. Pick-pockets tend to operate on trains and buses, especially during rush hours. Keep in mind the following tips: Pay close attention to wallets and purses on very crowded trains and buses. Beware if you are jostled or if there is a sudden argument or commotion. Incidents can be staged to distract you while your possessions are stolen. If something should happen to you or you witness a crime while on public transport, contact the British Transport Police toll free on 0800 40 50 40. State Department Travel Registration For added peace of mind, we strongly recommend that you register your details at the State Department’s new Internet Based Registration System (IBRS)—see https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/. This is a free service provided by the US Government to US citizens who are travelling to, or living in, a foreign country. Registration allows you to record information about your upcoming trip abroad that the Department of State can use to assist you in an emergency.

  • Sustainable Transport for Remote Island Communities
    STAR 2019 Thomas Schönberger Sustainable Transport for Remote Island Communities Thomas Schönberger and Neil Ferguson, University of Strathclyde, Colin Young, Argyll and Bute Council, and Derek Halden, Derek Halden Consultancy Ltd. 1 Introduction This paper outlines ways to make remote island communities in Western Scotland more accessible, while aiming for options with minimal CO2 emissions to contribute to Scotland’s intended transition to a low carbon economy. The underlying analysis considers current policy challenges to provide more frequent connections to remote island communities in response to a growing public need for better accessibility while at the same time becoming less reliant on public subsidies for supporting sustainable growth on remote Scottish Islands. These challenges are analysed based on experiences in Argyll and Bute Council in Western Scotland to then serve as a basis for similar discussions in other areas with scheduled ferry and air services in Western Scotland and across the world. 2 Background In recent years the majority of the remote island communities in Scotland have grown in population size. Table 1 presents the Census data of 2001 and 2011 and shows that in this period the population on some islands in Western Scotland has grown significantly. For Argyll and Bute, the 2011 Census identified that approximately 17.7 per cent of the population in the Council area live on the populated islandsi.

  • Programme of Revenue Fundred Work 1998/99
    PE1472/B Mr Stuart Todd Assistant Clerk to the Public Petitions Committee Public Petitions Committee 17 April 2013 [email protected] Dear Mr Todd CONSIDERATION OF PETITION PE1472 Thank you for your letter of 22 March 2013 and request to respond, as part of the consideration of the above, as to how Argyll and Bute Council manage air PSO services and the considerations that arise from provision of these services. I will first provide details of the PSO air services operated within Argyll and Bute and how they are managed and secondly highlight some of the considerations that arise. 1. Details Argyll and Bute Council Airports Argyll and Bute Council operate three licensed airports; one at Oban, and each on the islands of Coll and Colonsay. These aerodromes are licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority as required by law to allow scheduled passenger flight services to land and take off. The license stipulates the required safety standards and fire cover required for each aircraft movement. Operations at the licensed aerodromes are audited on a regular basis by the CAA and require the appropriate level of resource. The Council’s licensed aerodromes above support the Public Service Obligation air services out to the islands of Coll, Colonsay and Tiree. Argyll and the Isles Air Services Argyll and Bute Council Public Service Obligation air services from Oban to Coll, Colonsay and Tiree are essential to the social and economic wellbeing of the islands they serve providing resilience in the event of ferry cancellations and helping to counter issues such as depopulation.

  • Air and Energy Accounts for Scotland Alex Kelsall, Andrew Lelland, Ben Pearson, Glen Thistlethwaite Ricardo Energy & Environment October 2020
    P a g e | 1 Air and energy accounts for Scotland Alex Kelsall, Andrew Lelland, Ben Pearson, Glen Thistlethwaite Ricardo Energy & Environment October 2020 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7488/era/735 1 Executive summary This report details a study to produce a set of ‘air and energy accounts’ for Scotland for all years from 1998 to 2018, equivalent to ONS UK Environmental Accounts 1 tables on Emissions and Energy. The study has been commissioned by ClimateXChange (CXC) on behalf of the Scottish Government in support of its implementation of the policies and proposals within the current Climate Change Plan2 published in 2018. Purpose of the study The Scottish Greenhouse Gas Inventory3 is the key data source for understanding the origins and magnitudes of Scotland’s emissions. The inventory is compiled in line with international guidance from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Data are reported by source sector and by greenhouse gas. In the UK, businesses and industry are classified according to the nature of their economic activity. This Standard Industrial Classification4 (SIC) provides a framework for the collection, presentation and analysis of economic data in a uniform manner. A set of air and energy accounts provides the Scottish Government with information to more accurately monitor changes in emissions and energy use of sectors in relation to their economic output and employment. This will support the Scottish Government in the implementation of Scotland’s Climate Change Plan. In particular, the outputs are intended to: Improve the Scottish Government’s knowledge and understanding of how emissions and energy use have changed over time, by sector.
