Download [509.06 Do you agree with the Commissions's proposals that Orkney Islands Council Do you support the overall pattern of should have 21 councillors, the same wards that the Commission has ID number as at present? - Agreement Please provide reasons for your answer - Text box proposed? - Support Please provide reasons for your answer - text box Organisation type? - About you Although I believe that there is over-representation in Overall, this would appear to be a sound proposal. However, given the variation from parity in the Orkney, if the agreed ratio of councillors to voters is Kirkwall East Ward, I would be tempted to consider reducing councillor numbers for this Ward by OIC1 Yes 1:800 then this comes close to meeting that. Yes one and adding that into the North Isles Ward to reduce the negative variation there. Member of the public OIC2 Yes I believe it is the optimum number. Yes I believe it is the best geographic balance. Member of the public OIC3 Yes Yes Over-representation for the Isles is a necessity. Member of the public 21 is sufficient to cover the islands of Orkney. Although the current method of multi member wards does not work well. This may be because most councillors are extremely poor at communicating with the public. They do no hold surgeries so most people have no idea who is West Mainland covers a very large area with quite different issues across it. I don't like islands representing them. It might be better if the wards were being lumped together and I particularly feel that Hoy is not well represented as Stromness has a OIC4 Yes smaller . No much bigger population (and electorate). Member of the public I think there needs to be 4 reps for North Isles as not enough recognition of additional burden on elected members of travel, etc. Difficult to cover more than 3 Islands each Councillor. Islands all have their own organisations to engage with, infrastructure, transport OIC5 No issues, etc Yes Member of the public If the research already carried out can be evidenced then the organisation should just get on with it without too much more messing around. Being part of in England in the early-mid 90s,the best thing is just to OIC6 Yes push on. Yes Keeps it all very clear. Member of the public OIC7 Yes Think that is right number no need for more No No need to change what's working Member of the public It has always felt about right up until now and I see no They are logical in terms of balancing less and more populated areas of Orkney and those areas that OIC8 Yes reason to change the total number Yes feel they fit together Member of the public OIC9 No They are all useless, get rid of the lot of them No Waste of time, the councillors do not represent the voice of the people anymore. Kirkwall being split into these two wards gives Kirkwall an overall advantage over all the other We need the same number but we need them to wards in Orkney. OIC officials need to be held responsible for their actions and sacked not given a remember they are representing the people not OIC golden handshake, pushed sideways and promoted. They will use this to their own advantage to OIC10 Yes incomer officials No have more of their hairbrained schemes that the people of Orkney don't want or need. Member of the public There are too many councillors at present and the number should be reduced. The present councillors in Kirkwall west appear to do nothing or at least they dont The islands all bunched together in the north isles has not worked in the past due to the particular keep the electorate informed of what they are doing and Island councillors giving favour to the island that they stay in. The mainland wards have much they are quite difficult to get a hold off. In this day and higher numbers in them and generally get better looked after as they are for instance in Kirkwall age of cutting costs then the numbers should be reduced and there are two groups of councillors totalling 8 or 9 and there is from my perception anyway a OIC11 No as they have done with OIC employees No bit of the old boys club going on and this should be stopped. Member of the public The reason for change is not apparent...change for changes sake! Larger wards but no real change in councillor numbers, how does this make a difference to how we interact with our elected members? It seems to be a case of action but no benefit wasting OIC12 No taxpayer money yet again. No See earlier response Member of the public Get it down to 11. At least 10 are so lightweight and lack the required abilities. This would provide a substantial saving immediately. Currently the number of severe financial mistakes and OIC13 No poor judgment displayed is legendary. Yes We have a population of around 21,000 and do not need a councillor for every 1000 people. Member of the public OIC14 Yes Approx 1000 people per councillor is a good average. Yes Agreed on the provision that councillors each have approx 1000 constituents. Member of the public Very Few Listen To The Public And Can Not :look AtThe OIC15 No Islands As A Whole No Too Many With Different Egenders We Should Be Looking For Solutions As One Island Member of the public 21 is a good number appears at present to work quite OIC16 Yes well Yes looks fine to me Member of the public There are too many for such a small population and half OIC17 No of them are a waste of space. No South Ronaldsay and Burray should be separate from east mainland due to Island nature have OIC18 No Less number to reduce the differing opinions No different requirememts Member of the public The Council needs to be reviewing all aspects of its services as part of its budget review/constraints. This Should be following the way the health board have approached grouping of areas so the 2 statutory must include councillors numbers too - not just front line bodies are following the same principles - or sit down with health board to agree how to group. OIC19 No services. No Essential the 2 bodies are able to consult, communicate and inform the same groups Member of the public Although the overall population may be smaller the dynamics, logistics and general needs between the areas on the mainland alone are very different never mind the inner and outer island populations. There is rural, town, semi-rural, areas linked by causeways or only accessible by ferry or islander planes. By having the diversity represented in the number of councillors then there is representation equally for all islanders no matter where they are living. Not everyone will get what they want or sadly sometimes need from the council but will have had I am pleased that there is no reduction in linked or outer isle councillors. I would rather have seen a voice through their representative. Island communities an additional north isles councillor and 1 less for kirkwall east as there would be similar like mine will die if only a limited core of people have issues/people groups represented whereas 3 between all the north isles is not such even OIC20 Yes representation . Yes representation. It is the problem with numerical type splitting. Member of the public The inner isles of Rousay, Egilsay and Wyre and Shapinsay would be better served by being associated with their mainland landing point - West Mainland and Kirkwall respectively - in the same way that Hoy, Walls, Flotta and Graemsay are associated with Stromness. These inner (close isles) are very different in nature to the Outer North Isles of North Ronaldsay, Papay, Westray, Sanday, Stronsay and Eday. This would better reflect the way in which services and transport connections function for the inner isles. This would also increase the number of elected members with an interest in the isles, which is sadly Decision-making could be more effective with a lesser lacking in the current arrangements, meaning it is difficult to ‘compete’ with mainland issues for OIC21 No number of councillors No attention in the chamber. Member of the public 22,000 divided by 7or 8 is 2-3000 constituents per councillor. Any moderately capable representative should manage this number. Most MP’s cope with around 65,000 so it would not be particularly onerous. Some allowance for Geographic distribution but the It’s difficult to discern the numbers from your maps but anything which brings the total down OIC22 No current situation is ludicrous. Yes makes sense. Member of the public Numbers seem fine, Orkney is not a big authority , but OIC23 Yes distribution may be a consideration. Yes In terms of demographic numbers I see the argument & generally a fair representation. There are a lot of difficult decisions to be made in these tricky times. It is good to have a number of councillors to make these decisions or you end up with officers taking OIC24 Yes actions undemocratically and wrong. Yes They work Member of the public OIC25Yes No I think the West Mainland could do with another Councillor Member of the public OIC26 Yes Ieave alone if it works Yes Again if not broke leave alone I know that the outer isles already have more councillors per capita, but it still does not give them any say overall.

  • Child Poverty in the Orkney Islands
    Child Poverty in the Orkney Islands A rural deprivation case study Introduction The Child Poverty Map of the UK (2016) showed that 14% of children living in the Orkney Islands are in poverty (after housing costs). This is the equivalent of 508 children or 17 school classes. The main aim of this case study is to demonstrate how SIMD can be used with other publicly available data to explore child poverty, using the Orkney Islands as an example. The case study will also address the issue of ‘hidden deprivation’ in rural areas by showing how census indicators can be used to identify areas within data zones where child poverty is more likely to exist. What we did We identified the most deprived areas of the Orkney Islands using SIMD. We sourced other publicly available data about child poverty. This includes child poverty estimates provided by the End Child Poverty Campaign and estimates of children living in low income families, provided by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). We explored risk factors associated with child poverty using indicators from Scotland’s Census 2011 at the output area level. Further information about the data sources used in this case study can be found in the Annex. What are child poverty risk factors? Previous studies have suggested certain What is an output area? factors which are useful for measuring child poverty in local areas. For example, this An output area is created by a includes the percentage of lone parent grouping together of postcodes. A households and percentage of households single output area can contain 50 with no persons in employment with people and 20 households, but can dependent children in an area.

    Submerged Landscape of Orkney Project Interim Report December 2008 S Dawson & CR Wickham-Jones The Bay of Firth showing the islands of Damsay and Holm of Grimbister (Fiona Stewart) Project Work Fieldwork, Bay of Firth Hydrographic survey work was carried out in the Bay of Firth from Ferry Point on the east side to Backaquoy on the west, using side scan sonar operated by Fiona Stewart of HighResolution Geoservices and the Charles-Ann skippered by Harvey Groat from Stronsay. This work had three aims: • To investigate, and if possible verify, persistent rumours of a submerged structure including vertical slabs in the vicinity of Damsay • To recover data relating to the pre- submergence landscape of the Bay of Firth • To examine the sea bed for cultural heritage, including both wrecks and built structures The Charles-Ann, skippered by Harvey Groat (Fiona Stewart) The results of this survey are presented in appendix 1 and revealed several positive anomalies which have now to be investigated further using a camera, ROV and shallow diver work (appendix 2). Most of these anomalies are likely to relate to recent cultural heritage, but at least one clear reading came from the area of interest indicated by local informants. The existence of a submerged prehistoric structure in the Bay has not yet been ruled out.
