Council’s CAT Strategy 4. Support for community groups in 2018/19 5 Community groups views on the support offered 6 Number of CATs in 2018/19 7. Reporting 1. Introduction This is the second Community Asset Transfer (CAT) Annual Report for Dumfries and Galloway Council. Our CAT Strategy is about empowering local people to make use of their assets to provide services to help our communities thrive. Community groups across Dumfries and Galloway have embraced the opportunity to manage and acquire land and buildings and CATs are expanding at an increasingly fast rate. The Strategy Objectives were about the Council putting the customer first, minimising bureaucracy and supporting communities to develop their creative local aspirations. They were about responding to customer feedback and developing supports and systems that respond to customers’ needs. Councillors enthusiastically endorsed the Strategy back in March 2017 and the challenge for the first two years has been to put these very sound and progressive Objectives into practice. Our Council continues to work on changing its culture to become more engaging and empowering with its local communities. It has reshaped to be in a better position to work alongside communities to enable them to thrive at a time of fiscal restraint. CAT is part of that empowerment. We are having conversations with our communities about their priorities and inviting them to a more participative, community led relationship. CAT is part of that process.

    THE DOGS THAT DIDN'T BARK: POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND NATIONALISM IN SCOTLAND, WALES AND ENGLAND Nicholas Brooke A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 2016 Full metadata for this item is available in Research@StAndrews:FullText at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/8079 This item is protected by original copyright The Dogs That Didn't Bark: Political Violence and Nationalism in Scotland, Wales and England Nicholas Brooke This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 30th June 2015 1 Abstract The literature on terrorism and political violence covers in depth the reasons why some national minorities, such as the Irish, Basques and Tamils, have adopted violent methods as a means of achieving their political goals, but the study of why similar groups (such as the Scots and Welsh) remained non-violent, has been largely neglected. In isolation it is difficult to adequately assess the key variables behind why something did not happen, but when compared to a similar violent case, this form of academic exercise can be greatly beneficial. This thesis demonstrates what we can learn from studying ‘negative cases’ - nationalist movements that abstain from political violence - particularly with regards to how the state should respond to minimise the likelihood of violent activity, as well as the interplay of societal factors in the initiation of violent revolt. This is achieved by considering the cases of Wales, England and Scotland, the latter of which recently underwent a referendum on independence from the United Kingdom (accomplished without the use of political violence) and comparing them with the national movement in Ireland, looking at both violent and non-violent manifestations of nationalism in both territories.

    PUBLIC APPENDIX DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY COUNCIL COMMUNITY ASSET TRANSFER (CAT) DRAFT ANNUAL REPORT 2020/21 1. Introduction This is the fourth Community Asset Transfer (CAT) Annual Report for Dumfries and Galloway Council. Our CAT Strategy is about empowering local people to make use of their assets to provide services to help our communities thrive. Community groups across Dumfries and Galloway have embraced the opportunity to manage and acquire land and buildings and CATs continue to be a popular method of supporting empowerment. The Strategy Objectives are about the Council putting the customer first, minimising bureaucracy and supporting communities to develop their creative local aspirations. They are about responding to customer feedback and developing support and systems that respond to customers’ needs. Councillors enthusiastically endorsed the Strategy back in March 2017 and the challenge for the four years has been to put these very sound and progressive Objectives into practice and sustain this approach. Our Council continues to work on changing its culture to become more engaging and empowering with its local communities. It has reshaped to be in a better position to work alongside communities to enable them to thrive at a time of fiscal restraint. CAT is part of that empowerment. We are having conversations with our communities about their priorities and inviting them to engage in a more participative, community led relationship. CAT is part of that process. During the year 2019/20 we undertook our first Review of the Strategy and Procedure to ensure that it reflected our experience over the last three years. During 2020/21 and despite the challenges presented by COVID-19 restrictions the lessons learned have been acted upon.
