Will the Portfolio Holder for Finance, Corporate Support and Housing furnish me with all costs incurred by North Ayrshire Council in defending this claim (including cost of officers time preparing papers for Zurich Insurance to defend claim, and officers time attending Kilmarnock Sheriff Court to give evidence at the hearing) and who was responsible for the edict not to pay compensation?" (b) A question by Councillor Cullinane to the Cabinet Member for Finance, Corporate Support and Welfare Reform in the following terms:- “The £43million contract for the Largs Campus has been awarded to Morrison Construction, a company named in the Scottish Affairs Select Committee Report as having used the Consulting Association blacklist to identify, deny employment to or terminate the jobs of trade union members. The contract was awarded by hub West Scotland. However, as it is a North Ayrshire Council led project, can the Portfolio Holder advise me what representations, if any, they have made to hub West Scotland about Morrison Construction winning the contract and how does the award of the contract conform with this Council’s previous commitment that companies exposed as having blacklisted workers should be excluded from Council contracts?” North Ayrshire Council, Cunninghame House, Irvine KA12 8EE 2 9.

No such Question shall require the suspension of Standing Orders in order to be considered or reconsidered.'" 11.2 Other Motions (a) a Motion by Councillor Cullinane, seconded by Councillor McNamara in the following terms:- "At the Council meeting of 24th March 2014 I proposed a motion calling on North Ayrshire Council to become an Ethical Care Council and sign up to the UNISON Ethical Care Charter. As an amendment, which was accepted, the issue was referred to the “Living Wage and Ethical Care Working Group A key component of the UNISON Ethical Care Charter is payment of the Living Wage to all social care workers. The final Working Group report recommended that North Ayrshire Council did not sign up to the Charter because, it was stated by officers using guidance from the Scottish Government, that the Council could not legally mandate external care providers to pay the Living Wage. That was a position that the Labour members of the Working Group challenged throughout the lifespan of the Group. Given that the Scottish Government have performed a u-turn and now accept that a Living Wage for all care workers can be achieved, North Ayrshire Council agrees to sign up to the UNISON Ethical Care Charter." 12. Urgent items Any other items which the Provost considers to be urgent.

    EAST AYRSHIRE the community plan planning together working together achieving together Contents Introduction 3 Our Vision 3 Our Guiding Principles 4 The Challenges 8 Our Main Themes 13 Promoting Community Learning 14 Improving Opportunities 16 Improving Community Safety 18 Improving Health 20 Eliminating Poverty 22 Improving the Environment 24 Making the Vision a Reality 26 Our Plans for the next 12 years 28 Our Aspirations 28 2 Introduction Community planning is about a range of partners in the public and voluntary sectors working together to better plan, resource and deliver quality services that meet the needs of people who live and work in East Ayrshire. Community planning puts local people at the heart of delivering services. It is not just about creating a plan or a vision but about jointly tackling major issues such as health, transport, employment, housing, education and community safety. These issues need a shared response from, and the full involvement of, not only public sector agencies but also local businesses, voluntary organisations and especially local people. The community planning partners in East Ayrshire are committed to working together to make a real difference to the lives of all people in the area. We have already achieved a lot through joint working, but we still need to do a lot more to make sure that everybody has a good quality of life. Together, those who deliver services and those who live in our communities will build on our early success and on existing partnerships and strategies to create a shared understanding of the future for East Ayrshire.

Dingwall, venue for the SPNS‟s Autumn conference, is at the head of the Cromarty Firth, the sunlit water in the distance. The complex history of place-naming in this area is epitomised by the names for Dingwall itself. This is from Old Norse Þingvöllr, „assembly field‟, testifying to its importance under Norse rule. The Gaelic Inbhir Pheofharain is formed of the usual Gaelic word for a river mouth and a P-Celtic stream name (cf. Welsh pefr, „radiant, beautiful‟), also found at several other places in eastern Scotland as far south as the Peffer Burns and Peffermill in Lothian, as well as Peover in Cheshire. Those attending the conference may learn of the story behind an unofficial Gaelic name, Baile Chàil, „cabbage town‟.
