Statistical Information 3.1 The report includes information from each of the partners and a ward by ward summary of notable incidents. Appendix 1 shows the Hotspot map for the Motherwell area, Appendix 2 Housing & Social Work Services, Appendix 3 Strathclyde Police and Appendix 4 the Tactical Assessment from Strathclyde Fire & Rescue. Appendix 5 provides an inaugural report from Street Base North who are providing outreach services for young people with potential alcohol and drug abuse issues in the Craigneuk and Wishawhill area. 3.2 With reference to Appendix 2, anti - social statistics throughout the Motherwell area remain static. Ward 16 had issues with youths harassing local residents. These issues are being addressed by community safety partners. The Jerviston area within ward 17 has been more settled of late. The majority of complaints within Ward 18 are noise related because of the high concentration of Tower Blocks. 3.3 Mediation figures have increased significantly since the last report; the team have resolved 2 neighbour disputes in Ward 18 which will prevent the need for further action to be taken, and have provided advice and guidance to 7 disputes across wards and are actively working on 2 cases. decreased since the last report, the team are actively working on 2 cases within ward 16, we are confident if parties come on board with the service that positive outcomes can be achieved. 23 3.4 Mediation and Housing staff continue to carry out information sharing sessions which are proving beneficial.

Community Safety partners have worked closely together in regard to the issues that have affected the Jerviston area, and it has been noted that there has been a general improvement within the area.

Cross Cutting Themes Inclusion & Equality Workforce Development Digital Inclusion 7. Measuring Impact and Reporting Performance Appendix Foreword on Strategic Alignment Phase Previous Planning Arrangements The North Lanarkshire Community Learning & Development Partnership has been working together over the past four years to deliver its most recent 2014-18 Strategy, including its accompanying six Locality CLD Action Plans which were published in 2015. The CLD Partnership strategy, and resulting action plans, covered 39 Areas of Key Focus and several cross cutting themes agreed by partners and based on local needs. Recent work to review the impact of the strategy has shown a range of successfully delivered outcomes, as highlighted by the recent Education Scotland inspection of the NL CLD Partnership in 2017. Significant progress has been made across the 39 Areas of Key Focus, however partners have recognised that many of the needs highlighted in 2014 will still require to be supported on an ongoing basis. One example of this is the significant long-term investment made towards our digital inclusion project, Digital NL, which is now two years into a three year programme of funding. Changes within the Current Community Planning Partnership The previous CLD plan was linked closely to the wider North Lanarkshire Partnership (NLP) Community Plan. Partners have agreed that the local CLD plan for 2018 onwards should, similarly, be directly linked to Community Planning structures.

Purpose of Report 1.1 On Thursday, 13 September 2012 the Boundary Commission for Scotland published its revised proposals for United Kingdom Parliamentary Constituencies for an eight week final public consultation period. This report advises the Committee of those revised proposals and makes recommendations on action in response to the final consultation. 2. Background 2.1 At its meeting on 1 December 201 1, the Committee noted the statutory requirement for a review of United Kingdom Parliamentary Constituencies, the initial proposals formulated by the Boundary Commission for Scotland and the consultation arrangements. The Committee then agreed to appoint a Working Group to give consideration to the initial proposals and, at its meeting on 15 December 2011, the Council noted the recommendations of the Working Group and approved, for submission, a consultation response. 2.2 At its meeting on 1 December 2011 the Committee noted also that, following the initial twelve week consultation period, the Boundary Commission for Scotland would publish on its website the representations received and the record of the public hearings and would invite written comments during a further period of four weeks. This was done and, at its meeting on 14 March 2012, the Council noted the consultation responses and approved a submission which, with the benefit of additional considerations arising from the consultation responses, adhered to the initial consultation submissions made by the Council. 2.3 Having considered all responses, the Boundary Commission for Scotland has now published revised proposals for an eight week final public consultation period.

Applications are being sought for 2022-23, the second round of funding. 1.2 The document provides further information on: the background and strategic context of the VDLIP the application process eligible organisations eligible project types / sites example projects and case studies 1.3 The programme was first launched in 2021/22 and this guidance may be subject to further development and refinement in future years. 2. ABOUT THE VDLIP 2.1 Scotland has almost 11,000 hectares of vacant and derelict urban land sites which can blight communities, harm wellbeing, and limit opportunities. However those sites could offer so much more - they could help solve some of society’s biggest challenges, including around climate change and inequality. 2.2 By prioritising the reuse of persistent vacant and derelict land, and protecting our existing natural capital, we can ensure that future investment goes into areas where it is needed the most, supporting shared ambitions for place, community regeneration, town centres, and 20 minute neighbourhoods. 2.3 The £50 million VDLIP is a capital programme scheduled over the next five years to help with tackling persistent vacant and derelict land and supporting place based approaches to delivering regeneration and sustainable inclusive growth, as part of a ‘just transition’ to net-zero by 2045.
