  • Kingdom of Strathclyde from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Kingdom of Strathclyde From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Strathclyde (lit. "Strath of the Clyde"), originally Brythonic Ystrad Clud, was one of the early medieval kingdoms of the Kingdom of Strathclyde Celtic people called the Britons in the Hen Ogledd, the Teyrnas Ystrad Clut Brythonic-speaking parts of what is now southern Scotland and northern England. The kingdom developed during the ← 5th century–11th → post-Roman period. It is also known as Alt Clut, the Brythonic century name for Dumbarton Rock, the medieval capital of the region. It may have had its origins with the Damnonii people of Ptolemy's Geographia. The language of Strathclyde, and that of the Britons in surrounding areas under non-native rulership, is known as Cumbric, a dialect or language closely related to Old Welsh. Place-name and archaeological evidence points to some settlement by Norse or Norse–Gaels in the Viking Age, although to a lesser degree than in neighbouring Galloway. A small number of Anglian place-names show some limited settlement by incomers from Northumbria prior to the Norse settlement. Due to the series of language changes in the area, it is not possible to say whether any Goidelic settlement took place before Gaelic was introduced in the High Middle Ages. After the sack of Dumbarton Rock by a Viking army from Dublin in 870, the name Strathclyde comes into use, perhaps reflecting a move of the centre of the kingdom to Govan. In the same period, it was also referred to as Cumbria, and its inhabitants as Cumbrians. During the High Middle Ages, the area was conquered by the Kingdom of Alba, becoming part of The core of Strathclyde is the strath of the River Clyde.

Case Study 15 10. How to Access Further Information 16 11. Feedback, Monitoring & Review 17 12. Appendices 18 2 1. Introduction Clackmannanshire and Stirling Health and Social Care Partnership, Clackmannanshire Council and Stirling Council are delighted to present this joint Short Breaks Services Statement for local carers and cared for people in the Clackmannanshire and Stirling area. The Partnership is required under the Carers (Scotland) Act 2016 to publish a Short Break Services Statement, as the Act recognises short breaks and respite to be an area in which carers need a more robust, reliable and accessible framework. In developing the Statement, the Partnership has relied heavily on the thoughts and opinions of adult and young carers who have responded to our consultation process. The Partnership has also produced a local Carers Strategy due to be published by the end of March 2019. The Strategy can be viewed as a complementary document to this Statement. Although the Short Break Services Statement is a formal document required by law, the Partnership is aiming for the Statement to be a genuinely useful and accessible document that can be relied upon by carers and cared-for persons. The area of Clackmannanshire and Stirling offers a range of short break opportunities to carers in which innovative and creative services can be provided. Indeed, it is the aim of the Carers (Scotland) Act 2016 that short breaks are viewed more holistically than before – for example, short breaks are not solely traditional respite services in a care home, but can be a wide range of community-based breaks and activities which may help alleviate the strain and pressures which often accompany the caring role.

  • West Dunbartonshire Council
    WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL Report by the Chief Executive Community Participation Committee: 19 November 2008 ___________________________________________________________________ Subject: Scottish Parliament Constituency Boundaries 1. Purpose 1.1 The Committee, at its meeting on 17 September 2008, requested a background report on the current proposals to amend the constituency boundaries for the Scottish Parliament. 2. Background 2.1 Legislation provides for regular reviews of constituency boundaries and the new boundaries will be in effect for the next Scottish Parliament elections to be held in May 2011. Reviews are carried out by the Boundaries Commission for Scotland. 2.2 The Commission published its provisional proposals for the review on 14 February 2008. These proposals advertised in the local press and notices with explanatory information were lodged for consultation in council offices and main libraries. The proposals were submitted to Council at its meeting of 27 February. They comprise:- 1) linking two of West Dunbartonshire’s wards, Clydebank Central and Clydebank Waterfront, with part of the Renfrewshire Council area to create the North Renfrewshire and Clydebank Burgh Constituency; and 2) joining the Kilpatrick Ward with Dumbarton, Lomond and Leven wards and two wards of Argyll and Bute Council to form the Dumbarton and Helensburgh County Constituency. 2.3 The Council duly objected to the proposals for both constituencies on the grounds that Kilpatrick Ward should not be split from the other two Clydebank wards and that the linking of Clydebank Central and Clydebank Waterfront wards with areas in Renfrewshire Council was anomalous and unacceptable. 2.4 Where a local authority submits an objection to a proposed boundary, a Local Inquiry must be held.

The Fire Brigades Act, 1938, set up a centrally co-ordinated service throughout the UK and required local authorities to make arrangements for an effective fire service. In 1938 there were 185 fire brigades in Scotland. In 1941, as a consequence of the war, a National Fire Service was established and this remained in place until the introduction of the Fire Services Act 1947, which returned the service to the control of local authorities, who were permitted to form joint arrangements for the administration of both police and fire services. Local government re- organisation in 1975 gave responsibility for fire brigades to the Regional Councils and the area boundaries were adjusted to match the regional boundaries. In 1996 the Fire Brigades were re- established as independent joint local authorities with representation on their boards from the relevant unitary Councils. They retained the same boundaries as the pre-1996 regions. In 2004 the Fire Brigades changed their names to Fire and Rescue Services. Central Area Fire Brigade was formed in 1947 when the Fire Services Act, 1947, restored responsibility for fire brigades to local authorities after the wartime National Fire Service. Under this legislation, joint arrangements were possible and therefore Stirling, Clackmannan and Dunbartonshire set up a joint fire brigade. Stations included Dumbarton, Alloa, Balfron, Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Larbert and Falkirk.
