Introduction The way we generate and use energy has constantly changed. In recent decades it has become the role of the National Grid, gas network, and multinational energy companies to deliver nearly all the energy: heat, electricity and transport fuels. We interact with energy via familiar light switches, gas boilers and petrol stations. In the future, delivery of and demand for energy in Scotland will be transformed. The Scottish Government’s ambition is to see an increasing number of new sustainable energy and district heating networks developed across the country to make the best use of natural energy sources including unused and renewable heat. This can help cut carbon emissions, reduce fuel bills and combat fuel poverty. Energy Masterplanning can assist developers and local authorities plan this process better, provide for ‘future proofing’ for communities and assist in using energy more efficiently. Many of the choices that impact on this wider energy transition are made locally. These energy choices are made by local people, local business, and collectively through local communities and by local government. It is recognised that we all need to start planning today for the coming decarbonisation of our energy systems, and to ensure that communities can transition away from fossil fuels and toward sustainable energy systems, in a managed approach and in a manner which maximises the benefits to local communities. Councils are central to this mission and are now increasingly involved in planning local energy systems and ensuring that local decision making and ownership is at the centre of the new energy paradigm that is emerging in Scotland. It is recognised that future energy systems have to be based within a community instead of outside of it. This is a whole new world of working, thinking and delivery for everyone; from national Government, Local Authorities, Community Councils, infrastructure providers, to utility companies and local communities. There are a lot of questions facing stakeholders when they consider this topic: What does a local energy system look like? One local system may be different from another. What do they have in common? What factors will necessitate differentiation in different locations? All may have different finance and ownership models. How can they all work together? How can we ensure that community benefits and ownership is maximised under different finance and ownership models? What type of energy systems do we need to future-proof us against the twin challenges of climate change and energy security? How can we plan now for the energy transition that Scottish Government believes that the whole country needs to undergo? Fife Council believes that many of these questions can best be answered by trialling the Community Energy Masterplanning process in partnership with a local community. Successful energy Masterplanning requires a lead organisation with a commitment to bring stakeholders together, promote, develop and subsequently adopt and help deliver the energy masterplan. Fife Council is keen to maximise the opportunities that can arise from the process, for the benefit of communities across Fife. One of the key objectives within the Fife Community Plan is the need to reduce carbon emissions and create a healthier fairer Fife for all. Fundamental to this will be engagement with communities around their energy consumption and supply. To facilitate this Fife Council are developing a Sustainable Energy Climate Action Plan (SECAP) for Fife. This will potentially include local energy masterplans as a tool for integrating energy and climate solutions into local community planning. This trial was designed to help us to do that. It is anticipated that the lessons learned within this project will be able to be replicated with local communities across Fife. The purpose of this project is to develop a Local energy masterplan for Burntisland for the local community and council to better understand local energy needs and how it could be supplied locally in a low carbon manner. It aims to reflect the community’s priorities and support its transition to becoming a low carbon, high resilience settlement. The document will then be reviewed as part of the local planning process to help guide proposals and policies influencing Burntisland. This pilot project worked in partnership with the local community in Burntisland, Fife, with the aim of reducing fuel and mobility poverty and reducing carbon emissions. Through a series of consultation meetings and workshops we mapped the ‘whole energy system’ for Burntisland looking at heat, electricity and transport options including storage opportunities. The project brought in external expertise to enable the community to understand their energy demands (using the heat map and other developed tools) and to work collaboratively to map agreed low carbon solutions The priorities and ideas contained within the Local energy masterplan were developed by the local community. The main output from this project is the creation of a local Energy Masterplan for Burntisland to support the development of a locally-planned sustainable energy system. As part of this, the following topics have been considered: Demand side management options for Burntisland; Delivering renewable heat and electricity to customers in Burntisland; Linking local energy demand with local renewable energy generation; and the potential for co-location / combining technologies for example wind and solar Energy storage potential in Burntisland; and Sustainable travel options for Burntisland. The transition to a low carbon economy and energy system will have multiple benefits beyond just reducing carbon emissions. We aim to enable the following outcomes following the development of a Local energy masterplan for Burntisland: 1. The local community will benefit (once projects within the Energy Masterplan are implemented) from secure, affordable, low carbon heat, electricity and transport options. 2. Locally owned energy systems can strengthen local communities by providing an income from local renewable energy generation, improving community empowerment, resilience and cohesion; 3. Reduced fuel poverty by reducing energy demand and providing affordable energy, locally; 4. Improved local air quality leading to health and wellbeing benefits within Burntisland; 5. Improved local understanding of energy and climate change and inspiring others about what can be achieved when communities work together; 6. Reducing carbon emissions – showing that communities can take ownership of, and develop local solutions to this global problem; 7. Experiential and learning benefits - the process of developing a Local energy masterplan for Burntisland has taught all involved, valuable lessons on how best to deliver Energy masterplans which emphasise community decision-making and ownership options.. 8. This knowledge and learning will enable us to bring benefits to other local communities and it is hoped that this will inspire other communities to follow Burntisland’s lead. 2. Context The Scottish Government recognises that the twin challenges of climate change and energy security in an increasingly uncertain world, will force Scotland to look at energy in a different way. As the natural gas reserves in the North Sea and fossil fuels in general become more difficult and expensive to exploit, and as carbon emissions regulations have become more stringent, there is increasing focus on changing how heat and power is provided to homes and businesses. To this end, the Scottish Government’s new draft Energy Strategy and new draft Climate Change Plan were launched in January 2017 and represent the basis by which the Scottish government is moving beyond old energy paradigms and is seeking to replace them with something more fit for the future. Furthermore the Community Empowerment Act and the Land Reform Act, mean that there is also increasing legislative focus on communities having more say and ownership around local energy issues. Other supporting guidance and legislative instruments in this area include: The Climate Change (Scotland) Act, 2009; the Electricity Generation Policy Statement, 2013; and the ‘Heat Policy Statement – Towards Decarbonising Heat: Maximising the Opportunities for Scotland’, 2015; all of which outline the ambition to move

    A Memorial Record of the Staff of The Commercial Bank of Scotland Limited who served in the Great War 1914-18 IN preparing this Roll of Honour it was felt that something more than a mere list of the names of those who fought and those who fell in the Great War of 1914-18 was necessary, and it was decided that the words spoken, and a record of the ceremony, at the unveiling of the Memorial Tablets - which bear the names of those of the Bank's Staff who were killed - might be a fitting introduction. Neither the Memorial Tablets nor the words of those whose privilege it was to speak can fully express the sorrow or the joy, the great thankfulness and pride, of those who mourn their dead or of those who rejoice in the safe return of their dear ones. On 16th March 1921 the Memorial Tablets erected in the Head Office were unveiled by the Deputy-Governor, The Earl of Mar and Kellie, K.T. Mr Rankine, the Senior Director, asked Mr William Babington, one of the Directors, to address the assembled company. Mr Babington said:- “My Lord, Ladies, and Gentlemen, the occasion which calls us together today, the unveiling of the Memorial to those of our Staff who fell in the War, will, I know, recall anxious and sad days to all of those present, but it was felt by the Directors to be one which would give them an opportunity of expressing, however inadequately, their high sense of admiration of the courageous spirit which, in August 1914 and during the whole course of the Great War, was shown by those of The Commercial Bank of Scotland’s Staff who were of military age.

  • Scotpho COVID-19 Community Overall Vulnerability Measure - Fife Briefing
    ScotPHO COVID-19 Community Overall Vulnerability Measure - Fife Briefing Contact: Public Health Department Version: 1.0 Date: April 2020 1. Fife is assessed as having average levels of overall community vulnerability, being ranked 16 of 32 Council areas across Scotland. 2. Within Fife, the ScotPHO tool identifies those local communities who are among the most vulnerable (quintile 1) to least vulnerable (quintile 5) in Scotland. 3. 18% of the Fife population (67,253) are living in the most vulnerable communities. What is it? The Scottish Public Health Observatory have produced an online interactive mapping tool with supplementary data tables, summary briefing and technical document illustrating the results and explaining the methodology of their measure of Covid-19 community vulnerability. What is it for? This tool can help identify geographical areas that are more vulnerable across a range of factors to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and efforts to delay it. ScotPHO intend this tool to be used to help guide the most effective use and allocation of resources through identifying which geographic area to target.1 What does it measure? The overall vulnerability measure is a single score produced by statistically combining a range of indicators from routinely collected data across three categories; demographic (proportion of older population), clinical (rates and %’s of a range of measures including premature mortality) and social (rates and %s of a range of measures including income deprivation). The indicators were chosen if they were considered to be directly relevant to COVID-19, relevant to other demands on clinical services or population health or were factors that may modify the impact of COVID-19 in communities.1 Please see the technical document for further details of the full list of indicators and the statistical methods used to create these measures (available via link below).1 The overall vulnerability score has been created for three geographical levels; Council, Interzone and Datazone.
