  • West Dunbartonshire Council
    PPAARRTTNNEERRSSHHIIPP CCOOMMMMIISSSSIIOONNIINNGG SSTTRRAATTEEGGYY Presented to: Joint Committee/Strategic Management Group Author: Norman Firth Date of Document: September 2011 Date of Revision: July 2013 Document Version: 4.0 1 Version 4.0: Revised July 2013 1. Introduction In “The Guide to Strategic Commissioning” (2009), the Social Work Inspection Agency (SWIA) defines this activity as: “the term used for all the activities involved in assessing and forecasting needs, agreeing desired outcomes, considering options, planning the nature, range and quality of future services and working in partnership to put these in place.” Implicit in this and other definitions is an activity which is cyclical and therefore dynamic. SWIA illustrates this via reference to a model developed by the Institute of Public Care (IPC). “The model is based upon four key performance management elements; analyse, plan, do and review. The model requires that each of the four elements receive attention, and all are kept in balance” (SWIA: 2009 from Joint Commissioning Model for Public Care: IPC: 2006). The overarching context for Criminal Justice Social Work (CJSW) is a framework of statutory duties within a public policy context focusing on reduction of offending and public protection against a background in which the service requires to improve effectiveness and reduce costs. 2. Focus This Commissioning Strategy relates to Criminal Justice Social Work Services. CJSW services principal duties and tasks relate to the assessment and supervision of offenders in the community either through the medium of community sentences or post release supervision following a custodial sentence. The Strategy refers to CJSW services and functions organised and delivered via formal partnership between Argyll and Bute, West Dunbartonshire and East Dunbartonshire Councils; referred to below as the Partnership (see below, Governance).

    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

  • Appeal Decision Notice Decision I Allow the Appeal and Grant Planning Permission Subject to the 7 Conditions Listed at the End O
    Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals Appeal Decision Notice T: 01324 696 400 F: 01324 696 444 E: [email protected] Decision by John H Martin, a Reporter appointed by the Scottish Ministers Planning appeal reference: PPA-270-2133 Site address: Land 445 metres north-east of 5 Kinbeachie, Culbokie, Dingwall IV7 8LS Appeal by Mr & Mrs M MacLennan against the decision by Highland Council Application for planning permission 14/03218/FUL dated 19 August 2014 refused by notice dated 15 June 2015 The development proposed: one and half storey house with detached double garage Application drawings: Drgs.Nos.MM-02/001B; 002B; P100A; P101A; P102B and; P103B Date of site visit by Reporter: 7 October 2015 Date of appeal decision: 26 October 2015 Decision I allow the appeal and grant planning permission subject to the 7 conditions listed at the end of the decision notice. Attention is drawn to the 3 advisory notes at the end of the notice. Reasoning 1. I am required to determine this appeal in accordance with the development plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Having regard to the provisions of the development plan the main issues in this appeal are: (1) whether or not it is essential for a house to be erected on the site to manage the croft as an exception to the policy presumption against new housing in the open countryside and; (2) if proven to be essential, whether it is desirable to require a section 75 agreement tying the house to the croft. 2. The development plan in this case is the Highland-Wide Local Development Plan 2012 (HWLDP) and the Ross and Cromarty East Local Plan (RCELP).
