Central Regional Council Finding Aid

The main records of Central Regional Council are held by Council Archives, 5 Borrowmeadow Rd, Springkerse Industrial Estate, Stirling. However, some duplicate records and some records which relate to current Falkirk Council area have been disaggregated from Stirling and are held in Falkirk so that the records can be held as locally as possible.

Central Regional Council was set up under the Local Government () Act 1973. Under the Act a two tier system of local government was instituted with regional councils responsible for regional wide functions. Regions had responsibility for education, social work, roads and road safety, public transport, careers service, highways lighting, trading standards, weights and measures, water and sewerage, flood prevention, coast protection, fire services, police services, civil defence, diseases of animals, strategic planning, industrial promotion, valuations and rating, electoral registration, registration of births, marriages and deaths, and industrial development (in co-operation with Districts)

The Act established nine regional councils and 53 district councils along with three islands councils (Orkney, Shetland and Western Isles) which were responsible for the functions of both district and regional councils. The regional councils were instituted in 1974 and acted as shadow authorities until 1975 when they assumed full powers. Regional councils and district councils were abolished under the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act, 1994 (c. 39). They were replaced in 1996 by a single tier form of local government with Central Regional Council covered the geographic area of Falkirk, Clackmannan and Stirling District Councils unitary authorities.

Central Regional Council. Planning Department Regional Councils had responsibility for Strategic planning, which involved decisions on the use of land for different purposes. They did not deal with individual planning applications or with Local Plans, which were District Council responsibilities. For full details of records relating to the local authority planning function see the Planning Finding Aid.

Strategic planning included responsibility for consulting on archaeological issues and Central Regional Council employed a Regional Archaeologist.

Central Regional Council. Education Department. The Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1973 transferred the duties of county councils for education to regional councils in 1975. In 1996 these responsibilities were transferred to the unitary authorities. For records of School Councils (1975-1989), School Boards, (1988-1996) and Schools, 1975-1996 see the Education Finding Aid

Central Regional Council. Social Work Department. Social Work departments were set up following the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 which gave responsibility for social work functions to local authorities. The 1968 Act gave local authorities the responsibility to protect children at risk from abuse and where necessary remove children from families in order to protect them. The 1968 Act has been amended by the NHS and Community Care Act, 1990 and the Children (Scotland) Act 1995. Additional responsibilities have been implemented by various Statutory Instruments. Social Work was a regional responsibility between 1975 and 1996. No Social Work case files have been transferred to Falkirk Archives.
