    SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Issued on behalf of The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland Not for Publication, Broadcast or use on Club Tapes before 0001 Hours on 26 May 2016 Recommendations for councillor numbers and wards submitted to Scottish Ministers The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland has submitted its recommendations on councillor numbers and wards for each of Scotland's 32 council areas to Scottish Ministers. These recommendations arise from the 5th Reviews of Local Government Electoral Arrangements which began in February 2014. The recommendations provide for 351 wards and 1219 councillors across Scotland, an overall decrease of 2 wards and 4 councillors relative to existing arrangements. Under the recommendations, representation of the electorate within council areas will be more evenly shared between councillors and across Scotland there will be greater equity in electoral representation. Ronnie Hinds, Chair of the Commission, said: "Today we have submitted to Scottish Ministers our recommendations for electoral arrangements which we believe are in the interests of effective and convenient local government across Scotland. These recommendations set out the number of councillors for each council area and the boundaries of the wards they will represent. We are grateful to councils and to the public who responded to our consultations over the last two years. Their input has been invaluable in shaping our proposals and while we must take account of our obligations under the legislation and consider the interests of the whole council area, we have been able to take on board many of the views expressed. The legislation which governs our reviews places equality of representation at the heart of what we do and we have delivered a set of recommendations that significantly improves electoral parity across Scotland and so provides for fairer local democracy and more effective local government ." 1 A summary of the recommendations for each council area is contained in the appendix to this release.

Council’s CAT Strategy 4. Support for community groups in 2018/19 5 Community groups views on the support offered 6 Number of CATs in 2018/19 7. Reporting 1. Introduction This is the second Community Asset Transfer (CAT) Annual Report for Dumfries and Galloway Council. Our CAT Strategy is about empowering local people to make use of their assets to provide services to help our communities thrive. Community groups across Dumfries and Galloway have embraced the opportunity to manage and acquire land and buildings and CATs are expanding at an increasingly fast rate. The Strategy Objectives were about the Council putting the customer first, minimising bureaucracy and supporting communities to develop their creative local aspirations. They were about responding to customer feedback and developing supports and systems that respond to customers’ needs. Councillors enthusiastically endorsed the Strategy back in March 2017 and the challenge for the first two years has been to put these very sound and progressive Objectives into practice. Our Council continues to work on changing its culture to become more engaging and empowering with its local communities. It has reshaped to be in a better position to work alongside communities to enable them to thrive at a time of fiscal restraint. CAT is part of that empowerment. We are having conversations with our communities about their priorities and inviting them to a more participative, community led relationship. CAT is part of that process.

  • Page 101 PUBLIC PUBLIC APPENDIX Term Sustainability of Cats
    PUBLIC APPENDIX DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY COUNCIL COMMUNITY ASSET TRANSFER (CAT) DRAFT ANNUAL REPORT 2020/21 1. Introduction This is the fourth Community Asset Transfer (CAT) Annual Report for Dumfries and Galloway Council. Our CAT Strategy is about empowering local people to make use of their assets to provide services to help our communities thrive. Community groups across Dumfries and Galloway have embraced the opportunity to manage and acquire land and buildings and CATs continue to be a popular method of supporting empowerment. The Strategy Objectives are about the Council putting the customer first, minimising bureaucracy and supporting communities to develop their creative local aspirations. They are about responding to customer feedback and developing support and systems that respond to customers’ needs. Councillors enthusiastically endorsed the Strategy back in March 2017 and the challenge for the four years has been to put these very sound and progressive Objectives into practice and sustain this approach. Our Council continues to work on changing its culture to become more engaging and empowering with its local communities. It has reshaped to be in a better position to work alongside communities to enable them to thrive at a time of fiscal restraint. CAT is part of that empowerment. We are having conversations with our communities about their priorities and inviting them to engage in a more participative, community led relationship. CAT is part of that process. During the year 2019/20 we undertook our first Review of the Strategy and Procedure to ensure that it reflected our experience over the last three years. During 2020/21 and despite the challenges presented by COVID-19 restrictions the lessons learned have been acted upon.
