Isles, Legal and Licensing Services Manager, J. Wilson, Licensing Team Leader, K. Mason, Democratic Services Officer, I. Tunnah, Licensing Standards Officer, Inspector M. Wynne, PC C. Lackenby, PC P. Robertson. ANNUAL REPORT – CHIEF CONSTABLE POLICE SCOTLAND 1, There had been circulated copies of the Annual Report by the Chief Constable, Police Scotland. The Legal and Licensing Services Manager advised that the Chief Constable had a statutory duty to provide a report to the Board on an annual basis. Inspector M. Wynne was present on behalf of the Licensing Inspector. In responding to questions raised by Councillor Weatherston in relation to protecting children from harm as had been reported in the Jedburgh and Kelso area, PC Lackenby advised that anti social behavior had been identified during the summer of 2012. This had been dealt with by local integration officers based in schools and an improvement had been seen. Police Officers agreed to keep Members informed if a similar situation arose in the future. It was noted that Test Purchasing was now intelligence led. Previously large media campaigns had made licence holders aware of when test purchases were taking place in certain towns but it was noted that it was unsustainable to carry on doing this and also the volume of test purchase failures did not merit such campaigns.

    RURAL AFFAIRS AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE RURAL HOUSING INQUIRY SUBMISSION FROM SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: RURAL HOUSING ENQUIRY As requested in your letter dated 17 January 2007, I am providing you with information on rural parts of the Scottish Borders area. Much of this information comes from the Council’s 2006 Housing Needs Assessment, which can be viewed in full at: www.scotborders.gov.uk//council/departmentsandservices/socialwork/housing strategy/21470.html We are aware that we lack greater information on homelessness in rural areas, and are requesting that we address this issue with our I.T. data supplier in order that we are able to access information on the level of homelessness in each settlement in the Scottish Borders. Population Table 1 shows the population of the main settlements in the Scottish Borders. Generally Scottish rural is defined as a settlement with a population less than 3,000, this means that Eyemouth, Galashiels, Hawick, Jedburgh, Kelso, Peebles and Selkirk are not classed as rural and for this reason will not be included in this analysis. Table 1 also shows Innerleithen/ Cardrona and Melrose/Darnick/Newstead have a population over 3,000 but these will be included in the rural analysis as they have been grouped, individually they have a population less than 3,000. Duns will also be used in the rural analysis as there a many smaller settlements just outside Duns which have been included in table 1.

  • Public Play Facilities Strategy - Eildon
    PUBLIC PLAY FACILITIES STRATEGY - EILDON Report by Service Director Assets & Infrastructure EILDON AREA PARTNERSHIP 27 June 2019 1 PURPOSE AND SUMMARY 1.1 This report sets out guidance and recommendations for the Eildon Area for future investment in Public Play facilities and proposals for the removal of obsolete play areas, agreed as part of the 2018/19 Capital Investment Plan and updated within the Capital Investment Plan 2019-20. The 2019/20 Capital Investment Plan has funding of £5.036m for investment within Outdoor Community Spaces over the 10 years. This presents a tremendous asset for communities, however also brings a maintenance burden, for which no additional revenue resources are being provided. As part of the original investment within the 2018/19 Capital Investment Plan, it was simultaneously agreed by Council to review the distribution of play equipment provision across play parks in the Borders, which can 1) inform decision making around future investment in communities and 2) guide the rationalisation of obsolete play facilities which are deemed no longer fit for purpose, ensuring a cost neutral impact on established budgets with the service. 1.2 The programme of investment in play facilities aims to improve community wellbeing and enhance activity levels for all ages with a beneficial impact on the health of the population. The programme of proposed projects across the Scottish Borders and an indicative timescale for delivery is provided at 3.2 for the period of 2018/19 to 2022/23. The programme proposes a range of provision including Children’s Playparks, Pump bike/Skate tracks and Fitness/Youth Shelter provision as well as the rationalisation of obsolete equipment, where this is no longer fit for purpose.
