In 2004-2005 the Prudential Code replaced the longstanding Section 94 system of capital control. The basic principle of the new system is that Councils will be free to invest so long as their capital spending plans are affordable, prudent and sustainable. This principle continues to be followed in preparing this programme. 2. The Housing Asset Management Plan sets out the key aims and objectives for the Council’s assets held on the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) to ensure they are used in an effective and efficient manner and links directly to the Housing Investment Programme. The Housing Asset Management Plan and the results of the Stock Condition Survey inform the key decisions in terms of the future investment in the Council’s housing stock. In order to continue to update and refine the Council’s stock condition information, a rolling programme of in-house stock condition surveys was aligned with the cyclical maintenance programme. 3. The total proposed investment over the 5 years of the 2019/20 - 2023/24 Housing Investment Programme is £280m. The total proposed investment over the next 3 years of the 2019/20 – 2021/22 is £193.4m the expenditure profile is detailed on page 9. 4. Over the life of this 3 Year Housing Investment Programme, £97.7m will be spent on improving and maintaining our existing council housing stock to the required housing standards. As well as the continued requirement to maintain our stock to the Scottish Housing Quality Standard - Details of the SHQS are set out in Appendix 1, the Scottish Government launched the Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing (EESSH) in 2014. This new standard came into effect on 1 April 2015, it is aimed at improving the energy efficiency of social housing and will replace Criteria 35 of the SHQS. The EESSH sets a minimum Energy Efficiency rating for landlords to achieve that varies dependent upon the dwelling type and the fuel type used to heat it – Details of the standard are set out in Appendix 2. The target date to achieve the first EESSH milestone is 31 December 2020; therefore, the impact of EESSH has been considered as part of identifying priorities within the Housing Investment Programme. 5. The continued improvement and maintenance of the Council’s housing stock at the levels stipulated by the required housing standards will continue to influence the Council’s investment priorities, the impact of which will be monitored throughout this programme and within future updates of the Housing Asset Management Plan. Maintaining these standards, through HRA investment, supported by prudential borrowing, is a key element in the Council’s strategy of stock retention detailed in the Local Housing Strategy and the Housing Asset Management Plan. 6. The addresses identified in the programme are all subject to further on-site inspection before the proposed work can be confirmed and excludes owner occupied dwellings. 7. Projects identified for a site start in a particular year may not be completed in the same year, providing greater continuity of work and expenditure. 7 8 2019/20 - 2021/22 HOUSING INVESTMENT PROGRAMME APPROVED EXPENDITURE PROFILE 2019/20 2020/21 2021/22 £m £m £m Year 1 of 3 Year 2 of 3 Year 3 of 3 HOUSING QUALITY STANDARD WORK Elemental Works External Fabric 8.000 8.000 6.000 Window & Door Replacement 0.000 12.000 12.000 Kitchen / Bathroom Renewal 3.500 3.500 3.500 Electrical 2.000 2.000 2.000 Sub-Total 13.500 25.500 23.500 Energy Efficiency Works Replacement Heating 1.400 2.100 2.800 Combined Heat & Power Extension 3.600 0.000 0.000 Heating Upgrade (High Flats) 2.700 0.000 0.000 Sub-Total 7.700 2.100 2.800 Estate Work Estate Improvement Works 3.500 3.500 2.200 Sub-Total 3.500 3.500 2.200 Priority Areas Other Priority Areas 1.850 2.000 2.000 Sub-Total 1.850 2.000 2.000 Health & Safety Sub-Total 3.350 3.850 0.350 NON IMPROVEMENT EXPENDITURE New Build Housing 10.500 2 8 . 500 36.000 Sub-Total 10.500 2 8 . 500 36.000 Property Buy-Backs 6.000 6.000 6.000 Other Works (LHS Initiatives) 1.300 0.700 0.700 Sub-Total 7.300 6.700 6.700 Total Expenditure 47.700 72.150 73.550 Resources Prudential Borrowing 29.415 41.258 56.704 CFCR 9.680 9.362 8.983 SEEPS Grant 0.680 0.000 0.000 Scottish Government Grant: New Build Grant 5.925 19.530 5.863 Scottish Government Grant: Buy Backs 2.000 2.000 2.000 Total Income 47.700 72.150 73.550 9 10 2019/20 - 2021/22 HOUSING INVESTMENT PROGRAMME HOUSING QUALITY STANDARD WORK ELEMENTAL WORKS External Fabric Works The addresses noted below have been identified from the Stock Condition Survey and asset management database as being due for consideration to have either roughcast and/or roof covering replaced; however, their inclusion in the final programme is subject to an on-site survey, technical feasibility study and modelling exercise to achieve full compliance with SHQS & EESSH.

    2010 Air Quality Progress Report for Falkirk Council. In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management July 2010 Falkirk Council - Scotland July 2010 Local Jon Flitney Authority Officer Department Environmental Health Address Abbotsford House, David’s Loan, Falkirk, FK2 7YZ. Telephone 01324 504950 e-mail [email protected] Report Progress Report 2010 Reference Date July 2010 2 Progress Report - 2010 Falkirk Council - Scotland July 2010 Executive Summary A review of the Council’s monitoring data for 2009 shows that the 15-minute objective continues to be breached in the Grangemouth AQMA. In 2009 the Grangemouth Moray site recorded 65 exceedances. This is greater than the 35 allowed by the objective. All SO 2 monitors outside the AQMA met the 15-minute objective, with all sites meeting the hourly and daily SO 2 objectives. A breach of the 2010 annual PM 10 objective was recorded at the Falkirk West Bridge St site in 2009. This result will be used in the Falkirk Town Centre Further Assessment. Therefore the Council will wait for this report to be completed before considering whether to adjust the current AQMA. Since the 2009 USA the Council has declared three AQMAs for NO 2, two are in Falkirk Town Centre and one in the Haggs and Banknock area. In addition, the Banknock area near Cowdenhill Quarry remains subject to a Detailed Assessment for PM 10 . An Action Plan update for the Grangemouth AQMA is given. The Council continues to work on the measures outlined in the plan. In addition, a statement by INEOS about their tail gas treatment and other SO 2 emission reduction work is also included in this report.

  • Camelon Co-Operative Society Ltd
    Camelon Co-operative Society Ltd CAMELON CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY LTD Geoff B Bailey In the year 1857 twelve of the inhabitants of Camelon, having heard of the success of the new method of trading inaugurated by the Rochdale pioneers some eight years previously, held a meeting, and having agreed to subscribe £1 each as capital, formed themselves into the “Camelon Pioneer Industrial Society Limited” under the “Industrial and Provident Societies Act, 1850”. They rented a small shop (now demolished) on the south side of the Main Street at the corner of Deantree Terrace, and having stocked it with grocery goods as far as their limited capital would allow, opened three nights weekly, the Committee taking turns in manning the shop. The shop started business on 25 April 1858. The concept of people grouping together as a co-operative was seen as antagonistic to more open forms of commerce and some tradesmen tried to oppose it. It was probably for this reason that in August 1861 Donald McIntosh, a blacksmith at Port Downie, placed a public notice in the Falkirk Herald intimating that he had no further interest in Camelon Pioneers Industrial Society. The beginning was small, but the progress, if slow was sure. In a comparatively short time a large shop was rented and kept open for more days, and according to one history “females” were appointed to take charge of the business. Actually, it started in 1862 with a single saleswoman who seems to have been employed due to her low costs. That person was Ann Drummond, who the Falkirk Herald reported “despite youthful age” was a great asset and increased sales and membership dramatically due to her hard work.

  • May 2016 Suzanne Burgess
    May 2016 Suzanne Burgess Saving the small things that run the planet Summary The John Muir Way, opened in 2014, stretches 134 miles through nine local authority areas including Falkirk. This B-lines project, the first in Scotland, has identified new opportunities for grassland habitat creation, enhancement and management along the route of the John Muir Way as it passes through Falkirk as well as 1.86 miles either side of this. Through this mapping exercise a number of sites have been identified including 49 schools and nurseries; 19 hospitals and care homes; 64 places of worship and cemeteries; 5 historic landmarks and buildings; and 5 train stations. Additionally, 4 golf courses (215.84 ha), 172 public parks and play spaces (681.36 ha) and 1 country park (64.83 ha) were identified. There are a number of sites within this project that have nature conservation designations, including 50 Local Nature and Conservation Sites and Local Wildlife Sites (1,089.17 ha), 5 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (675.84 ha) and 2 Local Nature Reserves (83.93 ha). A further 2 sites are managed as Scottish Wildlife Trust reserves totalling 7.59 ha and 9 have previously been identified as having an Open Mosaic of Habitat on Previously Developed Land with a total of 36.52 ha. By mapping new opportunities this will aid in the future development of projects that will provide real benefits to our declining populations of pollinating insects of bees, wasps, hoverflies and butterflies as well as other wildlife that these habitats support. 1 Contents Page Page Number 1.
