  • Chief Officer Posts - March 1999
    1 AGENDA lTEM No, NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS CHIEF OFFICER POSTS - MARCH 1999 North Lanarkshire stretches from Stepps to Harthill, from the Kilsyth Hills to the Clyde and includes, Airdrie, Bellshill, Coatbridge, Cumbernauld, Kilsyth, Motherwell, Shotts and Wishaw. With a population of over 326,000 it is one of the largest of Scotland’s local authorities. The Council aims to be caring, open and efficient, developing and providing opportunities for its people and communities in partnership with them and with all who can help to achieve its aims. The Council is the largest non-city unitary authority in Scotland and geographically is a mix of urban settlements with a substantial rural hinterland. The Council comprises the former authorities of Motherwell District Council; Monklands District Council; Cumbernauld and Kilsyth District Council; parts of 0 Strathkelvin District Council and parts of Strathclyde Regional Council. Rationalisation in the traditional industries of steel, coal and heavy engineering with attendant problems of unemployment, social deprivation and dereliction has led to concerted measures to regenerate the area and new investment and development programmes have been significant in the regeneration process. Organisationally, the Council has recently approved a management structure which updates the existing sound foundation, which emphasises the integration of policies and services and is designed to reflect the Council’s ambitions concerning best value, social inclusion, environmental sustainability and partnership and service delivery to the area’s communities As a consequence of the Council’s approval of this new structure, the Council now wishes to appoint experienced managers to fill certain new chief officer posts as set out in the accompanying Job Outline.

  • A Little Bit of History Monklands, As the Name Suggests, Is the Land That
    A little bit of history Monklands, as the name suggests, is the land that belonged to monks. It was bestowed on the Cistercian Monks of Newbattle Abbey in East Lothian by Royal Charter of King Malcolm IV of Scotland, 1160. Monklands embraces the parishes of Old and New Monkland with their villages and the towns of Airdrie and Coatbridge. The monks were, essentially farmers. They exported wool to Europe via the east coast ports. To do this they built a road, The King’s Highway, from Glasgow to Edinburgh. It is also likely that they worked the rich coal outcrops of the area as they were noted for giving ‘black stanes’ to the poor and needy. With the coming of the Reformation and the destruction of Monasticism the monks lost all their possessions in the Monklands. In 1695 Airdrie was granted a Burgh Charter thus creating a market town and allowing a weekly market and four annual fairs to be held. As a result, Airdrie expanded as a centre of trade and became the centre for handloom weaving. By the nineteenth century Coatbridge was firmly established as the ‘Iron Burgh’ and with the development of new technologies an increasing number of ironworks were being built in the area. All of the iron works drew their coal and ironstone mainly from the pits of Airdrie and its outlying villages but the endless supply of cheap labour and the knowledge of industrial techniques and skills didn’t exist in what was essentially a rural economy. As a result, skilled ironworkers were recruited from England and Wales.

  • Old Mines and Mine Masters of the Monklands” British Mining No.45, NMRS, Pp.66-86
    BRITISH MINING No.45 MEMOIRS 1992 Skillen, B.S. 1992 “Old Mines and Mine Masters of the Monklands” British Mining No.45, NMRS, pp.66-86. Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1992. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.45 OLD MINES AND MINES MASTERS OF THE MONKLANDS Brian S. Skillen SYNOPSIS The Monklands lie east of Glasgow, across economically worthwhile coal measures, which have been worked to a great extent. Additionally to coal it proved possible to work a good local ironstone. Mushet’s blackband ironstone proved the resource on which the Monklands rose to prosperity in the 19th century. A pot pourri of minerals was there to be worked and their exploitation may be traced back to the 17th century. Estate feuding provides the first clue to the early coal working of the Monklands. In 1616, Muirhead of Brydanhill was in dispute with Newlands of Kip ps. Such was the animosity of feeling, that the latter turned up at the tiny coal working at Brydanhill and together with his men smashed up Muirhead’s pit head.1 It is likely that Muirhead’s mine had answered purely local needs and certainly if mining did continue it was on this ephemeral basis, at least until the mid 18th century. The reasons are easy to find, fragile local markets that offered no encouragement to invest in mining and a lack of communications that stopped any hope of export. In any case the western markets were then answered by the many small coal pits about the Glasgow district, including satellite workings such as Barrachnie on the western extremity of Old Monkland Parish.

  • Mental Health Services Old Age Psychiatry – Acute Admission
    Mental Health Services Old Age Psychiatry – Acute Admission Option and Benefits Appraisal 30 January 2014 1. Introduction NHS Lanarkshire currently provides older people’s mental health acute admission inpatient services based in a number of sites across Lanarkshire. Although these services continue to meet the needs of patients it is recognised that the demand for inpatient services is changing as more care is delivered in community settings closer to where people live. It is also recognised that continued developments in therapeutic interventions, and the provision of appropriate environments to meet the strategic aspirations for these services, are limited within the current inpatient estate. NHS Lanarkshire has, therefore, undertaken an Option Appraisal exercise to consider the future provision of these services. This report sets out the process which was undertaken and identifies the outcome of the event. Participants in the process included representation from patient and carers, clinical service leads, staff side, Local Authority and NHS Lanarkshire Mental Health and Learning Disability management. 2. Background Admission services for Old Age Psychiatry are provided from a total of 124 acute admissions beds which are located at: Location Available beds Wishaw General Hospital 23 Coathill Hospital, Coatbridge 20 Airbles Road Centre, Motherwell 16 Udston Hospital, Hamilton 60 Hairmyres Hospital, East Kilbride. 5 Total 124 On average only 70 of these beds are in use each night. The demographic landscape has changed significantly in recent years and the clinical requirements of patients have progressed similarly. The current Scottish Government and NHS Lanarkshire strategy via the Reshaping Care of Older People (RCOP) initiative, Scotland’s Dementia Strategy and The Quality G Johnston 2 300114 - final Strategy is to deliver a range of clinical services within patients’ local communities to allow patients to remain in their own homes as long as possible.
