(3) Local Governance Review The Local Governance Review, which would consider how powers, responsibilities and resources were shared across national and local spheres of government, and with communities was progressing, with the initial engagement phase nearing its conclusion. Neil Rennick explained that recently, a series of public engagement events focusing on community decision making had been held with the last event being held at the end of November 2018. The outcome of the events would Page 5 be collated and discussed with Cosla in the next few weeks. Thereafter Jonathan Smith asked for clarification on (1) whether there had been discussion with Aberdeen City Council and partners on the implementation of Social Security in Scotland in particular in relation to the roll out of universal credit and also whether this would be aligned to the budget allocation; and (2) the current position of the Scottish Crown Estates Bill and how local communities would be able to be involved in estate decisions? In response, Mr Rennick advised that (1) there had been discussions with local authorities regarding the funding of universal credit and that it was expected that the UK Government spending review in 2019 would cover a three year period and this would enable the Scottish Government to produce a three year budget rather than the annual budgets.

Partners then discussed areas which required further improvement and collective focus, during which Gordon MacDougall advised that there was to be an Education Scotland review of Skills Development Scotland in September 2019. With regards areas where further improvement was required, the Board agreed that it would be useful for the existing data on the current LOIP outcomes and improvement projects to be considered alongside the refreshed LOIP to set the context; enable effective scrutiny; and provide the evidence for the changes proposed. The Board also highlighted the importance of the refreshed LOIP reviewing all existing improvement aims and identifying deliverable stretched aims to ensure that the Partnership was being ambitious. In respect of delivering the aims, the Board agreed that Partners would need to discuss the resources required and contribution from Partners to achieve the aims and that the resources required should be detailed for the improvement projects in the refreshed LOIP for consideration. The Board resolved:- (i) to approve the recommendations; (ii) to enable the Board to effectively scrutinise the proposed refreshed LOIP, in particular Michelle Cochlan whether the stretch aims, and proposed improvement projects were meaningful, deliverable and ambitious, to request that at its meeting on 10 January 2019 the refreshed LOIP be 5 Topic Discussion/Decision Action By presented along with the existing LOIP data and that the data be aligned to evidence the proposed changes in the refreshed LOIP; and Michelle Cochlan (iii) to request that the improvement projects within the refreshed LOIP detail the resources required from Partners in order for the aim to be delivered. 8.

  • From Oil Wealth to Green Growth
    From oil wealth to green growth An empirical agent-based model of recession, migration and sustainable urban transition Jiaqi Ge1, Gary Polhill1, Tony Craig1, Nan Liu2 1 The James Hutton Institute 2 University of Aberdeen Abstract This paper develops an empirical, multi-layered and spatially-explicit agent-based model that explores sustainable pathways for Aberdeen City and surrounding area to transition from an oil- based economy to green growth. The model takes an integrated, complex system approach to urban systems and incorporates the interconnectedness between people, households, businesses, industries and neighbourhoods. We find that the oil price collapse could potentially lead to enduring regional decline and recession. With green growth, however, the crisis could be used as an opportunity to restructure the regional economy, reshape its neighbourhoods, and redefine its identity in the global economy. We find that the type of the green growth and the location of the new businesses will have profound ramifications for development outcomes, not only by directly creating businesses and employment opportunities in strategic areas, but also by redirecting households and service businesses to these areas. New residential and business centres emerge as a result of this process. Finally, we argue that industries, businesses and the labour market are essential components of a deeply integrated urban system. To understand urban transition, models should consider both household and industrial aspects. Highlights • An empirical, multi-layered

NNaavvyy,, NNGGAA,, GGEEBBCCOO Data SIO, NOAA, U.S. Navy, NGA, GEBCO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Aberdeen Harbour is Europe’s premier marine support centre for the energy industry and the main commercial port serving North East Scotland. The harbour was founded in 1136, and with a near-900 year history, is the oldest existing business in the UK. This document sets out our vision for the future of Aberdeen Harbour. It is an ambitious and transformational vision which articulates how we will continue to diversify our business and lead Scotland’s energy transition from oil and gas over the next 30 years to 2050 and beyond. There is an economic and environmental imperative in Scotland to diversify from North Sea oil and gas to meet the Scottish Government’s target of Net Zero Carbon by 2045. This shift to diversify our economy and reduce Scotland’s environmental footprint will require significant commitment, investment and collaboration between the public and private sectors and Aberdeen Harbour has a pivitol role to play.

  • Response from Nestrans to Discussion Paper No.6: Utilising the UK’S Existing Airport Capacity
    Airports Commission 6th Floor Sanctuary Buildings 20 Great Smith Street London SW1P 3BT 25 July 2014 Dear Sir, Response From Nestrans to Discussion Paper No.6: Utilising the UK’s Existing Airport Capacity. This submission is based upon an ‘update’ of an original Evidence Note on Air Links to London from the North of Scotland, commissioned jointly by Nestrans and HITRANS and first published in May 2012. A copy of that document was sent to the Airports Commission in March 2013, and was subsequently used by the two strategic transport partnerships to underpin submissions made to the Commission in response to its various ‘calls for evidence’ and discussion papers during the spring and summer of 2013. The ‘refresh’ of the Evidence Note, which forms the basis of this response to the Commission’s Discussion Paper No6, uses the latest 2013 CAA survey data for Scottish airports, whereas the earlier document had to rely on 2009 data. It also includes an up- dated policy overview, because there have been a number of significant developments in this regard in the intervening period and contains feedback from interviews with several important business figures in the North of Scotland about the importance of air links to London in serving their sector of the region’s economy. The full, recently completed, Update document can be found at: http://www.nestrans.org.uk/air- links-to-london-from-the-north-of-scotland.html Policy Update UK regional aviation policy exhibits some recent welcome signs of change: Flybe intervened - with Government support - to add additional flights to London from Newquay at regular fare levels, while the train services linking Cornwall to the capital were disrupted, and Government changed its long-running ambivalence to PSOs with the capital to keep the service running to its traditional home at Gatwick.
