We are the Boundary Commission for Scotland, an independent, non-political body whose purpose is to make recommendations for Scottish Parliament boundaries and UK Parliament constituencies in Scotland. 2. We are tasked by the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986 to undertake a review of UK Parliament constituencies in Scotland, and we must submit to the Secretary of State for Scotland a report containing our recommendations for 52 Scottish constituencies before 1 October 2013. 3. This booklet contains our Initial Proposals for these constituencies, information on how to participate in our public consultation (13 October 2011 to 4 January 2012) and details of our Public Hearings to be held throughout Scotland between 14 and 30 November 2011. The Review 4. This review is our sixth periodic review of UK Parliament constituencies in Scotland since the Commission was first established in 1945. 5. The legislation will result in a UK Parliament elected from 600 constituencies in place of the current 650, and in 52 constituencies in Scotland in place of the current 59, for use in the General Election expected to occur in 2015. a. The legislation defines 2 constituencies: Na h-Eileanan an Iar constituency and Orkney and Shetland constituency. b. The electorate of every other constituency in Scotland must be between 72,810 and 80,473 unless its area exceeds 12,000 square kilometres. c. No constituency may exceed 13,000 square kilometres. 6. We commenced the current review on 4 March 2011. We are now consulting the public on our Initial Proposals. Details of how to participate in the consultation are given below. We will produce Revised Proposals during 2012, and expect to make our final recommendations for constituencies in 2013. 7. For each constituency, we must recommend a name and its designation as a burgh constituency or a county constituency. 8. For further information on the policies and procedures we have adopted to underpin this review and the legal requirements for constituency design, please refer to our Policies and Procedures booklet, which is available on our website. Our Initial Proposals 9. We have developed our Initial Proposals using electorate data from 1 December 2010. The number of electors registered in each council electoral ward on that date can be found on our website. 10. Because of the constraints on constituency design it has not been possible to construct all constituencies from complete electoral wards. Where we have had to distribute a ward boundary between constituencies we have, in most instances, followed community council boundaries or other recognisable boundaries. There are 324 whole wards, and 29 wards divided between constituencies, in our proposals: 35 constituencies contain 1 or more part-wards. 11. 35 constituencies are each contained within a single council area. The remaining 17 comprise parts of 2 council areas. 12. Our Initial Proposals are summarised in Table 1. Maps of each constituency can be found in Appendix A. The proposed constituencies and their constituent wards in each council area are listed in Appendix B. 3 www.bcomm-scotland.gov.uk Boundary Commission for Scotland Initial Proposals October 2011 Sixth Review of UK Parliament constituencies constituency electorate area (sq. km) designation Aberdeen North 76,259 104.6 Burgh Aberdeen South 75,894 101.0 Burgh Airdrie and Coatbridge South 79,827 238.7 County Angus East and Kincardine 78,545 1,779.9 County Argyll, Bute and Lochaber 75,941 9,765.0 County Banff and Buchan 80,313 1,946.1 County Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk 73,395 3,764.1 County Caithness, Sutherland, Ross and Cromarty 74,290 12,829.8 County Clackmannanshire and Dunfermline West 80,438 382.2 County Clydesdale and Larkhall 76,005 1,640.1 County Cumbernauld and Coatbridge North 79,687 105.1 Burgh Cupar and St Andrews 80,015 724.6 County Deeside and Gordon 80,398 3,786.7 County Dumfries 72,994 2,937.6 County Dundee East and the Glens 76,953 1,056.8 County Dundee West and Gowrie 79,159 469.3 County Dunfermline East 79,240 188.9 County East Dunbartonshire and Kilsyth 79,211 224.6 County East Kilbride and Rutherglen 79,807 39.2 Burgh East Lothian 74,320 700.9 County East Renfrewshire and Hairmyres 80,060 199.2 County Edinburgh Central and Leith 80,324 23.0 Burgh Edinburgh East 80,271 40.3 Burgh Edinburgh South West 80,331 114.7 Burgh Edinburgh West 80,321 95.0 Burgh Falkirk 80,426 168.8 County Galloway and Carrick 75,146 4,742.2 County Glasgow Central 72,842 16.6 Burgh Glasgow East 75,178 32.2 Burgh Glasgow North East 73,991 38.9 Burgh Glasgow North West 72,944 29.2 Burgh Glasgow South East 80,468 29.4 Burgh Glasgow South West 73,039 30.0 Burgh Hamilton 74,455 69.4 Burgh Inverclyde 77,647 232.2 County Inverness and Skye 79,865 8,722.6 County Kilmarnock and Loudoun 75,001 695.4 County Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes 79,483 242.1 County Kyle and Cumnock 78,192 805.9 County Linlithgow and Falkirk East 80,155 304.9 County Livingston 80,228 272.8 County Midlothian and Tweeddale 77,563 1,333.9 County Moray and Strathspey 76,722 4,587.1 County Motherwell, Wishaw and Bellshill 79,551 70.3 Burgh Na h-Eileanan an Iar County North Ayrshire and Arran 73,760 575.0 County Orkney and Shetland County Paisley and Renfrew 73,357 65.0 Burgh Perth and Kinross-shire 80,410 4,238.7 County Renfrewshire South and Largs 73,529 474.9 County Stirling and Crieff 77,823 3,001.4 County West Dunbartonshire and Bearsden 77,614 190.9

  • Scottish Executive's Proposals for Maintenance
    AGENDA ITEM NO. ........z........... NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL REPORT ~ ~ ~~ To: PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE Subject: (Roads and Transportation Sub Committee) A8 BAILLIESTON TO NEWHOUSE : SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE’S PROPOSALS FOR MAINTENANCE From: DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT Date: 7 March 2001 I Ref: DiTTi7310WJM I Purpose of Report 1. This report informs Committee of consultation on the proposals of the Scottish Executive for major maintenance works on the A8 between Baillieston and Newhouse and seeks homologation of the comments attached in Appendix A which have been forwarded to the Scottish Executive’s consultants. Background 2. On 14 January the Department of Planning and Environment received a consultation on the environmental appraisal of the proposals for major maintenance works on the A8 at the above location. Scheme Proposals 3. The Scottish Executive has decided, given the importance of the route, that two live traffic lanes in each direction should be maintained at all times during the works. The rehabilitation works will therefore require the addition of hard shoulders as well as improvements to a number of slip roads along the route. 4. The addition of 3.3m wide nearside hardshoulders on each carriageway will also increase the future level of service on the road by reducing the disruption to traffic due to incidents and it will provide safe refuge areas for breakdowns and emergency vehicle access. 5. A new safety barrier will be erected along the length of the A8. In certain locations on the route a vertical concrete barrier (VCB) will be required to provide additional protection to bridge piers and safety to road users where the full central reserve width cannot be achieved.
