    Community Safety Partnership Report Issue 2022 September 2018 Community Safety Community Safety is about protecting people’s rights to live in confidence without fear for their own or other people’s safety ensuring that people are safe from crime, disorder and danger and free from injury and harm and communities are socially cohesive and tolerant; are resilient and able to support individuals to take responsibility for their wellbeing The Community Safety Partnership aims to improve community safety across Moray by identifying and addressing immediate concerns in order to protect the most vulnerable and at risk and be proactive to ensure that communities feel safe. The CSP comprises of various Moray Council services, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, NHS Grampian, tsiMORAY and Registered Social Landlords. WATER SAFETY With the continuing warm weather it is always tempting to go swimming to cool off. Water may look safe, but it can be dangerous. Learn to spot and keep away from dangers. You may swim well in a warm indoor pool, but that does not mean that you will be able to swim in cold water. The dangers of water include: • it is very cold • there may be hidden currents • it can be difficult to get out (steep slimy banks) • it can be deep • there may be hidden rubbish, e.g. shopping trolleys, broken glass • there are no lifeguards • it is difficult to estimate depth • it may be polluted and may make you ill Moray Local Command Area - Community Policing Inspectors Elgin Wards - Inspector Graeme Allan [email protected]

  • An Introduction to Traditional Building Materials and Practices Elizabeth

    An Introduction to Traditional Building Materials and Practices Elizabeth

    THE PATTERN OF MORAY BUILDING An introduction to traditional building materials and practices Elizabeth Beaton Introduction In 1962 a book was published in England that looked at buildings not through the eyes of the architectural historian, not for their ancient or modern associations, their illustrious family connections nor their style or plan form, but solely for the materials from which they were constructed and the sources from whence those materials came. This study revealed a rich heritage of visual interest, a wide variation of types and textures of walling and roofs and the reasons for these variations. The buildings included were mainly secular and ranged from the manor to the small cottage, from the medieval gatehouse to the suburban villa. Different types of stone, clay, brick, wood, plaster and metal all found their way into this study.' This paper attempts to identify buildings and their materials in similar vein in a small geographical area in north-east Scotland, taking into account the differences of history, communications and social pattern. Here too, examples are drawn mainly from the field of domestic archi­ tecture. The District of Moray (Fig.12.1), combining since 1975 most of the old counties of Moray and Banff, is an area of geographical, geological and economic variety. The hills and plains, coast and glens that make up the varied landscape are also the source of different building materials and local building typology. Though there is a considerable survival of medi­ eval fabric in the District, compared with other similar sized areas in the north of Scotland and some important 16th and l 7th century tower houses such as Brodie Castle and Innes House (1640-53), the greater part of the traditional domestic buildings date from the later l 8th and l 9th centuries.

    transport guide FOREWORD The Moray Forum is a constituted voluntary organisation that was established to provide a direct link between the Area Forums and the Moray Community Planning Partnership. The Forum is made up of two representatives of each of the Area Forums and meets on a regular basis. Further information about The Moray Forum is available on: www.yourmoray.org.uk Area Forums are recognised by the Moray Community Planning Partnership as an important means of engaging local people in the Community Planning process. In rural areas - such as Moray - transport is a major consideration, so in September 2011 the Moray Forum held its first transport seminar to look at the issues and concerns that affect our local communities in respect of access to transport. Two actions that came from that event was the establishment of a Passenger Forum and a Transport Providers Network. This work was taken forward by the Moray Forum Transport Working Group made up of representatives of the Area Forums, Moray Council, NHS Grampian, tsiMORAY, and community transport schemes. In September 2013 the Working Group repeated the seminar to see how much progress had been made on the actions and issues identified in 2011. As a direct result of the work of the Group this Directory has been produced in order to address an on-going concern that has been expressed of the lack of information on what transport is available in Moray, the criteria for accessing certain transport services, and where to go for further advice. The Moray Forum Transport Working Group would like to acknowledge the help of all the people who provided information for this Directory, and thereby made a contribution towards the integration of public, private and community transport services within Moray.

A few changes have taken place since the first sheets were printed, but, so far as is known, they are unimportant, It is believed the Directory now issued may be fully depended upon as a Book of Reference, and a Guide for the County of Moray and the Upper District of Banffshire, Giving names and information for each town arid parish so fully, which has never before been attempted in a Directory for any County in the JTorth of Scotland, has enlarged the present work to a size far beyond anticipation, and has involved much expense, labour, and loss of time. It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance. It has become so large that it could not be sold at the figure first mentioned without loss of money to a large extent, The price has therefore been fixed at Two and Sixpence, in order, if possible, to cover outlays, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/blacksmorayshire1863dire INDEX.
