Councillor Drysdale made reference to the issue of road traffic collision casualties, fatal and non-fatal, and that targets are set by SFRS without any clear way of directly influencing the number of causalities, he queried to what extent this was an appropriate measure of the effectiveness of the service, Area Manager Pryde advised that this was a key risk within Perth and Kinross, SFRS as part of a multi agency group were focussing activity on providing support through educational work with schools and through the Road Safety Group to try and continue to drive the figures down further. Councillor Drysdale further stated that although he noted the number of casualties had improved he further queried to what extent were the injuries/casualties to drivers and passengers of vehicles and what extent were to pedestrians/cyclists. In response, Area Manager Pryde Page 6 of 156 PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCIL HOUSING AND COMMUNITIES COMMITTEE 22 AUGUST 2018 advised that any road traffic collision they attend will come in via the Ambulance Service or Police Scotland. He advised that they only respond to incidents where people require to be extricated from a vehicle, if the incident involved a pedestrian or a cyclist then the Fire Service would not normally attend. Councillor Wilson made reference to the number of fire safety visits that were being carried out and queried whether there was a targeting strategy for these visits. In response Area Manager Pryde advised that SFRS have a risk rating profile for every premise which is completed prior to carrying out the fire safety visit and reviewed after the visit and will record any significant improvements made. Councillor McCole made reference to unwanted fire alarm systems and the fact that a significant number of the accidental fire alarms set off were due to equipment failure, she queried whether there were any statistics which would help identify any make or model of file alarm systems or repeat offenders or locations where the fire alarms go off persistently. In response Area Manager Pryde confirmed that every time SFRS attend an unwanted fire alarm call operational crews implement the unwanted fire alarm signal policy. The crew will record information from engagement with, the owner/occupier of the premises and will offer support and advice to identify the cause and put in place any remedial actions identified in order to prevent repeat calls. Area Manager Pryde further advised that SFRS have the figures for the whole Tayside area and if any specific issues arise these will be targeted, however there is the ability to feed the local information into the National Fire and Rescue Service to identify any national trends. Councillor Brawn queried our readiness to deal with the potential threat caused by wildfires in rural areas, Area Manager Pryde advised that there is a national lead for wildfires, and there is a wildfire strategy for Scotland, he assured members that SFRS have the correct resources to deal with wildfires in this area. Resolved: The performance of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service in Perth and Kinross area for the first quarter, 1 April to 30 June 2018, as detailed in Report 18/251, be noted.

  • Community Investment Fund Opens to Applications This Week
    Community Investment Fund opens to applications this week Community groups and organisations in Perth and Kinross could share in part of a major funding opportunity that opened on Friday 14 September 2018. The Council's Community Investment Fund (CIF) will, between 2018-19 and 2019- 20, provide £1.2million to community-led projects that address local issues which meet the priorities of the five Local Action Partnerships (LAPs) that cover Perth and Kinross - Strathearn and Strathallan; Perth City; Kinross-shire, Almond and Earn; Eastern Perthshire; Highland and Strathtay. Each Action Partnership is made up of representatives from public services, the local community, and Councillors from the area. Their purpose is to tackle local inequalities by setting priorities to work for and with the community. Applications of between £3,000 and £50,000 to the CIF will be accepted from a wide range of organisations - Community Councils, Development Trusts, parent teacher partnerships, social enterprises, registered charities, community interest companies and other constituted community organisations. The CIF is not open to applications from individuals or businesses. Council Leader, Councillor Murray Lyle explained: "The Community Investment Fund is here to provide funding, or part funding, towards community-led projects and initiatives that respond to ward priorities and tackle inequalities, making a positive impact on as many people as possible and meet needs that are not currently addressed in other ways. Consideration will be given to applications for a range of reasons - for example, community management of a local facility or improvements to a community building; developing outdoor spaces; the running of community events or activity programmes; training volunteers where this can be shown to have wider value; and purchasing equipment or materials to benefit the local community.

  • Perth and Kinross Council on 23 February 2011 (Article 110/11 Report 11/72) Were Taken Into Account in Preparing This Report
    PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCL 3 OCTOBER 2018 INITIAL FINDINGS OF THE REVIEW OF THE SCHEME OF ESTABLISHMENT FOR COMMUNITY COUNCILS IN PERTH AND KINROSS Report by Head of Democratic Services (Report No. 18/324) PURPOSE OF REPORT This report seeks to update members on the initial findings from consultation with community councils on the review of the Scheme of Establishment of Community Councils (the Scheme) in Perth and Kinross. The report also outlines suggested amendments to the current Scheme. 1. BACKGROUND / MAIN ISSUES 1.1 The current Scheme of Establishment for Community Councils was adopted by the Council on 23 February 2011 (Report 11/72 and Article 110 refer) following public consultation. The Council also approved a model constitution for a community council and model standing orders for community council meetings. 1.2 The Council also agreed in February 2011 that community council elections should be held on a common day across Perth and Kinross and these have been held in November 2011 and November 2015. 1.3 It is now seven years since the Scheme and the model documents were adopted, and in addition to several issues which have been raised in relation to the language in the model documents (e.g. provisions re the co-option of members; the code of conduct for community councillors; procedures for handling complaints; funding arrangements), it is important to ensure that the arrangements for supporting the community councils meet their needs and those of the Council. 1.4 As community empowerment continues to develop, the representative role of community councils will continue in that context and it is important that the Scheme of Establishment for Community Councils and associated documents recognise and facilitate that role.

  • Perth & Kinross Council: the Audit of Best Value And
    The Audit of Best Value and Community Planning Perth & Kinross Council Prepared for the Accounts Commission August 2008 The Accounts Commission The Accounts Commission is a statutory, independent body which, through the audit process, assists local authorities in Scotland to achieve the highest standards of financial stewardship and the economic, efficient and effective use of their resources. The Commission has four main responsibilities: • securing the external audit, including the audit of Best Value and Community Planning • following up issues of concern identified through the audit, to ensure satisfactory resolutions • carrying out national performance studies to improve economy, efficiency and effectiveness in local government • issuing an annual direction to local authorities which sets out the range of performance information they are required to publish. The Commission secures the audit of 32 councils and 41 joint boards (including police and fire and rescue services). Local authorities spend over £18.9 billion of public funds a year. Audit Scotland is a statutory body set up in April 2000 under the Public Finance and Accountability (Scotland) Act 2000. It provides services to the Auditor General for Scotland and the Accounts Commission. Together they ensure that the Scottish Government and public sector bodies in Scotland are held to account for the proper, efficient and effective use of public funds.

BACKGROUND/MAINISSUES 1.1 In June 2012 the Scottish Government issued the Strategic Guidance for Community Planning Partnerships: Community Learning and Development (CLD). Although directed at Community Planning Partners and recognising the crucial role played by a wide range of services and organisations, the Strategic Guidance for CLD clearly identifies the role for local authorities, stating that the Scottish Government expects local authorities “to provide clear leadership and direction, and to drive the action needed to ensure we maximise the contribution of CLD partners in the reform of public services.” 1.2 The Requirements for Community Learning and Development (Scotland) Regulations 2013 state that every local authority must produce a CLD three year plan. This must specify: how the authority’s provision of CLD is co-ordinated over three years any action other persons may take in providing CLD any needs for CLD that may not be met over the three year period. 1.3 The purpose of CLD is to empower people, individually and collectively, to make positive changes in their lives, and in their communities, through learning. To achieve this, CLD focuses on: Improved life chances for people of all ages, through learning, personal development and active citizenship Stronger, more resilient, supportive, influential and inclusive communities.
