FAILURE TO STOP - ADVICE FOR DRIVERS Over the course of this winter, police in the local area have spent their time dealing with fail to stop accidents in the Gourock area. These have resulted in drivers being subsequently traced and charged with failing to stop and exchange details at the scenes of accidents. Some of the reasons the police are hearing during their enquiries is that the driver of the offending vehicle was unaware that they had to stop and provide details and they believed the damage to be minor. Drivers who have just passed their test, should make themselves aware of their responsibilities to other road users. Those more mature drivers, who have not sat a test recently should keep themselves up to date with the rules of the road. For avoidance of doubt, should you hit an unattended vehicle you should make attempts to trace the owner. If you have an accident where names and addresses have not been exchanged you should report this to police within 24hrs. If in doubt contact police on 101 and ask.

The framework has evolved since then, to now capture key elements of what the Scottish Government considers to be a high-performing planning service. These include: • speed of decision-making • certainty of timescales, process and advice • delivery of good quality development • project management • clear communications and open engagement • an overall ‘open for business’ attitude This Framework gives a balanced measurement of the overall quality of the planning service in Inverclyde, identifying what happened in 2016-17 as well as what is planned for 2017-18. It will form the basis on which the Scottish Government will assess planning performance against the backdrop of Inverclyde Council determining planning applications considerably faster than the Scottish average and benefitting from an up-to–date Local Development Plan and on-track replacement.

In procuring the various details, the Publisher has availed himself of every means of information in his power. To the magistrates, the clergy, merchants, ship-owners^ and office-bearers of public institutions, he offers his respectful thanks for their obliging and valuable assistance.
