Names of Salmon Pools in Berwickshire

You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/164502/ Deposited on: 17 September 2018 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Eila Williamson (Glasgow, Scotland) Names of Salmon Pools in Berwickshire Introduction The River Tweed at around 98 miles in length is the second longest river in Scotland. From its source, the first 75 miles lie in Scotland, the next 19 miles forming the border between Scotland and England, while the final 4 miles to the North Sea are completely in England. It is divided into four main sections: Upper Tweed, Middle Tweed, Lower Tweed and Bottom Tweed.1 The focus of this paper is on the names of salmon pools in those parts of the river (in Lower Tweed and Bottom Tweed) which fall into the historical county of Berwickshire in Scotland, the place-names of which are being surveyed for the Recovering the Earliest English Language in Scotland: Evidence from Place-Names project, based at the University of Glasgow and funded for three years (2016–2018) by the Leverhulme Trust.2 While the project is surveying the major names for all 32 parishes in Berwickshire, more detailed survey is being undertaken for the four Tweedside parishes of Eccles, Coldstream, Ladykirk and Hutton which lie along the Anglo-Scottish border where the Tweed forms the boundary, plus the two neighbouring parishes of Foulden and Mordington.

Scottish Borders Average Cost Per Pupil
March 2016 Background Information and Data References School Roll Projections Every year the primary and secondary roll figures from the annual census are used as the starting point for calculating role projections. Birth numbers provided by the NHS and data regarding housing planned for the area over a five year period are then used alongside school rolls to calculate the number of existing and expected children within the catchment area. In the calculations an assumption is made that for every 100 houses built, there will be 30 primary and 15 secondary pupils added to the catchment school area. These figures are realistic in terms of national levels and local trends. Patterns within the Borders show that at most half of planned houses are actually achieved and therefore we use the figure of 50% of the planned housing in our calculations. These calculations provide a forecast of the school rolls expected should all pupils attend the relevant catchment school. This allows us to plan capital investment where required to meet occupancy needs. 2014/15 data from 2014/15 Scottish Government Pupil Number Annual Return 2015 Roll from 2015/16 Scottish Government Pupil Number Annual Return Occupancy calculated from School Capacity and Roll Number each year by Scottish Borders Council. Capacity versus Roll School capacities were last updated in 2006. They are currently only updated annually if a school has had any alterations that would affect its capacity. In October 2014, the Scottish Government produced new guidelines on how to define and calculate school capacities for primary schools. In the next few months Scottish Borders Council will conduct a piece of work to update school capacities based on these guidelines.

Here Will Be Efficiencies Which We Will Look at In-Year
BERWICK-UPON-TWEED TOWN COUNCIL Annual Town Report 2014/15 Introduction This year has been both challenging and difficult but has also been a reaffirming year for Berwick-upon-Tweed Town Council. Two local Council Elections are to take place shortly in Castle and Magdalene Wards to elect two new Town Councillors for Berwick-upon-Tweed Town Council and three more Town Council vacancies have been posted. Our former Town Clerk, Sue Finch has left the Authority and a new temporary Town Clerk is taking up post. We look forward now, to a better future for our town and we will all work together to make Berwick-upon-Tweed an example of a community which not only upholds the values and principles of public service but which recognises and welcomes innovation when it is to the benefit of our Town and its people. There will be efficiencies which we will look at in-year. We will be looking at how some of our services/initiatives are run and how they can be improved upon, but we would hope that the public would expect that of us. We will take the opportunity to get more involved in local communities and empower them. The Town Council will continue its work with partner organisations and businesses to serve the needs of the community and to provide all residents of Berwick with improved services and total commitment. The Council is looking at all Play Parks in the area and will endeavour to improve and replace all play equipment where necessary. Recent areas of concern which have arisen are the safety and storage of the Berwick Archives.

Rural Affairs and Environment Committee
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.
