  • Stewart2019.Pdf
    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.

The Falkirk Council air quality monitoring results for all pollutants measured have shown a slight decrease in National Air Quality Strategy (NAQS) objective exceedances from 2018 for certain pollutants. There were three NAQS objective exceedances in 2018 and there were two recorded in 2019. Specifically, these were: Two exceedances of the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) NAQS (annual mean) objective limit (40µg/m3) at (non-automatic) diffusion tube locations: - NA27 Falkirk West Bridge Street (47µg/m3); and - NA114 Glasgow Road, Camelon (41µg/m3). No other NAQS exceedances were recorded throughout the Falkirk Council air quality monitoring network in 2019. The NA27 NO2 diffusion tube is located on Falkirk West Bridge Street which is within the Falkirk Town Centre Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). This AQMA was declared in 2011 in recognition of the potential to exceed NAQS objectives for NO2 and Particulate Matter (PM10). The NA114 NO2 diffusion tube is located on Glasgow Road in Camelon, Falkirk and is outwith any Falkirk Council declared AQMA.
