  • 2010-11 for Provision of M74 Completion Archaeological Advice, Compared with £17,299 in the Previous Financial Year
    WEST of SCOTLAND ARCHAEOLOGY SERVICE Annual Report of the West of Scotland Archaeology Service 2010/11 Summary This annual report covers the period from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011. During the report period the West of Scotland Archaeology Service dealt with 1776 new casework items, thirteen more than in the previous year. Although coincidentally almost identical in number to the total of new caseload items initiated in the previous year, there were the usual variations on the type of casework within each Council area. Weekly lists of planning applications received from the eleven Councils and the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Authority made up 610 of the new work items. These were monitored to identify applications raising potential archaeological issues. From the weekly lists, and through direct referrals from our planning colleagues, 818 new planning and listed building applications were identified as potentially raising archaeological issues, and a further 348 other items of new casework were also dealt with or initiated.

  • East Renfrewshire
    Community Council Meeting Updates Our focus….. Your priorities INTRODUCTION This report covers progress we have made in dealing with your priorities for the Eaglesham & Waterfoot Community Council area for the 5 week period 1st January to 7th February 2018. A list of these priorities is provided at the end of this report for your reference. This report aims to highlight emerging issues in your area, and to provide crime prevention advice and guidance to the members of the Community Council and to the residents that they represent. This document does not provide a comprehensive statistical breakdown of numbers of crimes reported as this does not provide any context for the reader. INFORMATION 1. Homes being broken into Acquisitive crime, and in particular thefts from domestic dwellings, remain high on our list of priorities due to the significant number of incidents that are occurring across East Renfrewshire. A considerable number of police resources are currently dedicated to investigating these crimes. One Attempted Housebreaking With Intent to Steal crime report has been recorded in your Community Council area. During the early hours of the morning on the 6th February a householder in Craighlaw Avenuw, Eaglesham, was awoken by the noise of person or persons attempting to break in to the house via the rear door, before making off. Enquiries are ongoing into this crime. A total of 11 individuals have been arrested since mid-January as part of a wide- ranging operation targeting an organised gang who have been committing crimes across the whole of Scotland. In addition to that a number of other arrests have been made by officers based locally in East Renfrewshire relating to thefts and/or attempted thefts.

  • East Renfrewshire Council Must Consult on the Content of the Integration Scheme and the Groups to Be Involved Are Set out in the Regulations
    NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Board 2o January 2015 Report by Julie Murray CHCP Director EAST RENFREWSHIRE HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE PARTNERSHIP INTEGRATION SCHEME PURPOSE OF REPORT 1. To seek approval for the Integration Scheme to establish an East Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership and agree to put forward to Scottish Ministers for approval. RECOMMENDATIONS 2. The Board is asked to approve the draft Integration Scheme for submission to the Scottish Ministers. BACKGROUND 3. The Public Bodies (Joint Working)(Scotland) Act 2014 requires health boards and local authorities to integrate planning for, and delivery of, certain adult health and social care services. Regulations made under the Act set out those functions that must be delegated by both the local authority and the health board. However it is also open to them to choose to integrate planning and delivery of other services, for example additional adult health and social care services, beyond the minimum prescribed by Scottish Ministers. 4. The Act requires health boards and local authorities to prepare jointly an integration scheme setting out how the joint working arrangements are to be achieved. There are a number of ways in which they can do this; the health board and the local authority can either delegate their functions to the other party, or both can delegate their functions to a third party known as an Integration Joint Board. This is the approach that has already been agreed by both the Council and the Health Board. The draft scheme, once approved by both parties, must be submitted to the Scottish Ministers for final approval.

  • LBAP Update Report & Rolled Forward Actions 2008-11
    Renfrewshire, East© Carts RenfrewshireGreenspace and Inverclyde LBAP © Sarvnas Simkus UPDATE REPORT AND ROLLED FORWARD ACTIONS FOR 2008-2011 Introduction The Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and Inverclyde Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) is a Partnership forum which aims to protect and enhance Biodiversity. Biodiversity is, simply put, biological diversity or the variety of living things. The LBAP was launched in 2004 and included 18 Action plans for 7 habitats and 11 species with species groups represented by fungi, plants, fish, birds and mammals. Since then the LBAP Partnership has been working to achieve actions included in the plan through habitat enhancement protecting species working with groups and partners raising the profile of biodiversity with the public and at the strategic level This report highlights some of the activities and events that have been taking place to promote biodiversity throughout the area. What’s been happening? Strategic Projects The Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership has a long-term objective to create an Integrated Habitat Network. It is an ambitious project which aims to improve and create quality habitats throughout the Glasgow & Clyde Valley area. The overall aim is to provide greenspaces which have value for both communities and biodiversity by improving quality and connectivity of greenspaces on a large scale level. The first stage of this work involves using mapping data and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) software to analyse where important habitats need to be located so species can move around effectively. This has important implications for the long-term survival of biodiversity from threats like global warming. Renfrewshire has a new Local Nature Reserve at Durrockstock Park.

  • Homes Near Top Scottish Schools Command £73K Price Premium
    NOT FOR BROADCAST OR PUBLICATION BEFORE SATURDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2018 HOMES NEAR TOP SCOTTISH SCHOOLS COMMAND £73K PRICE PREMIUM Parents pay a premium of almost £73,000 (36%) on average compared to average house prices across Scotland Average property prices have reached £277,134 near Scotland’s top 20 state secondary schools Parents need to pay an average of £72,973 more to live in the catchment area of a top performing state secondary school in Scotland, according to new research from Bank of Scotland showing that average prices in these areas have now reached £277,134. Home buyers are paying, on average, a premium of over a third (36%) when compared to houses in surrounding areas (£204,162). This is a significantly higher premium than last year, when the top 20 Scottish state schools were commanding a comparatively smaller premium of £41,441 on average or 22% more than other properties within the same local authority. This difference is due to a change in the mix of schools in the top 20 in the past year – with a number of new schools in relatively more expensive areas in the latest survey. New entrants such as Hyndland Secondary School in Glasgow and James Gillespie's High School in Edinburgh have driven up the average premium costing an average of 76% and 69% respectively than other homes in the same local authorities – topping the table in first and second position as the most expensive school catchments. There are six new entrants to the top 20 schools this year, all of which fall within the top 10 most expensive school catchments.
