BCS Paper 2016/31 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Constituency Considerations for City of Edinburgh and West Lothian Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2016/31 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Constituency considerations for City of Edinburgh and West Lothian council areas Action required 1. The Commission is invited to consider alternative designs of constituencies for City of Edinburgh and West Lothian council areas in furtherance of its 2018 Review of UK Parliament constituencies. Background 2. On 24 February 2016, the Commission began its 2018 Review of UK Parliament constituencies with a view to making its recommendations by October 2018 in tandem with the other UK parliamentary boundary commissions. 3. The review is being undertaken in compliance with the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, as amended. The Act stipulates a UK electoral quota of 74,769.2 electors and use of the parliamentary electorate figures from the December 2015 Electoral Register. The 5% electorate limits in the Act correspond to an electorate of no less than 71,031 and no more than 78,507. 4. The Act requires the Commission to recommend the name, extent and designation of constituencies in Scotland, of which there are to be 53 in total. 2 Scottish constituencies are prescribed in the Act: Orkney and Shetland Islands constituency and Western isles constituency. 5. The Act provides some discretion in the extent of the Commission’s regard to the size, shape and accessibility of constituencies, existing constituencies and the breaking of local ties. As this review is considered to be the first following enactment of the legislation (the 6th Review was ended before completion in 2013 following enactment of the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013) the Commission need not have regard to the inconveniences attendant on changes to constituencies. 6. At its meeting of 16 May 2016, the Commission adopted groupings of council areas as part of its approach to constituency design for the 2018 Review, which included a group comprising City of Edinburgh and West Lothian council areas. This paper offers some options for constituencies within that group. 7. The 2015 parliamentary electorates of the council areas in this group are as shown in Table 1 below: Council area Parliamentary Constituency electorate entitlement City of Edinburgh 328,664 4.40 West Lothian 127,843 1.71 total 456,507 6.11 Table 1: 2015 parliamentary electorates of council areas in the group. Document name 1 BCS2016_31_(Constituency_Design_City_of_Edinburgh_West_Lothian) Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2016/31 8. The existing constituencies in the group, their 2015 parliamentary electorates and their constituent wards are as shown in Table 2 below: constituency Electorate Wards Edinburgh East City of Edinburgh 10pt, 11pt, 60,452 12pt, 13pt, 14pt, 15pt, 16pt, 17pt Edinburgh North and Leith City of Edinburgh 4pt, 5pt, 6pt 72,954 11pt, 12pt, 13pt, 14pt Edinburgh South City of Edinburgh 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 60,328 15pt, 16pt Edinburgh South West City of Edinburgh 1pt, 2pt, 3pt, 66,458 6pt, 7pt, 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 11pt Edinburgh West City of Edinburgh 1pt, 2pt, 3pt, 68,472 4pt, 5pt, 6pt, 7pt, 11pt Linlithgow and East Falkirk Falkirk 1, 2pt, 6pt, 7pt, 8pt, 9pt 83,593 West Lothian 1pt, 2pt, 3pt, 6pt, 7pt, 8pt, 9 Livingston West Lothian 1pt, 2pt, 3pt, 4, 5, 78,737 6pt, 7pt, 8pt Table 2: 2015 parliamentary electorates of existing constituencies in the group. 9. City of Edinburgh currently has 5 constituencies wholly within the council area and West Lothian has one existing constituency wholly within the council area and one constituency that also lies in Falkirk Council area. Only one of the 7 existing constituencies has an electorate within the legislative limits: Edinburgh North and Leith constituency. A map of existing constituencies and council areas in the group can be found at Appendix A. 10. The constituency names in this paper are provisional. The Commission will have the opportunity to review all constituency names and designations prior to the publication of its Initial Proposals. Options 11. All constituencies in the following options have electorates that lie within 5% of the electoral quota and have areas of less than 13,000 km2. Option 1 12. Option 1 provides for 4 constituencies wholly within City of Edinburgh Council area, 1 constituency wholly within West Lothian council area and 1 constituency containing part of both council areas. A map of option 1 constituencies is at Appendix B1. An overview of option 1 constituencies relative to other electoral boundaries is at Appendix B2. 13. Edinburgh East and Leith constituency comprises City of Edinburgh wards 12 (Leith Walk), 13 (Leith), 14 (Craigentinny / Duddingston) and 17 (Portobello / Craigmillar) and part of ward 11 (City Centre) near Abbeyhill.

Edinburgh North constituency comprises City of Edinburgh wards 3 (Drum Brae / Gyle), 5 (inverleith) and 6 (Corstorphine / Murrayfield) and part ward 4 (Forth) Document name 2 BCS2016_31_(Constituency_Design_City_of_Edinburgh_West_Lothian) Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2016/31 extending from Newhaven to West Pilton. A map of the boundary in City of Edinburgh ward 4, which largely follows the existing constituency boundary and a community council area boundary, can be found at Appendix B4. 15.

Livingston constituency comprises West Lothian wards 3 to 7, including the settlements of Livingston, Bathgate and Armadale. 19. The electorate, ward composition, designation and suggested name of each constituency in option 1 is shown in Table 3 below: constituency Electorate Wards Edinburgh Central and South BC 77,615 City of Edinburgh 10, 11pt, 15, 16 Edinburgh East and Leith BC 75,482 City of Edinburgh 11pt, 12, 13, 14, 17 Edinburgh North BC 77,203 City of Edinburgh 3, 4pt, 5, 6 Edinburgh South West BC 75,334 City of Edinburgh 2, 7, 8, 9 Edinburgh West and Linlithgow City of Edinburgh 1, 4pt 76,551 BC West Lothian 1, 2, 8, 9 Livingston BC 74,322 West Lothian 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Table 3: 2015 parliamentary electorates of option 1 constituencies. 20. In option 1, 2 wards are divided between constituencies: they are City of Edinburgh wards 4 (Forth) and 11 (City Centre). 21. The advantages of option 1 are: 2 constituencies are comprised solely of whole wards; Only 2 wards are divided between constituencies; and Option 1 constituencies in the south of Edinburgh are most like existing constituencies. 22. The disadvantage of option 1 is: New Town / Broughton community council area lies in 3 constituencies. Option 2 23. Option 2 also provides for 4 constituencies wholly within City of Edinburgh Council area, 1 constituency wholly within West Lothian council area and 1 constituency containing part of both council areas.

  • Nationalism, Party Political Discourse and Scottish Independence: Comparing Discursive Visions of Scotland’S Constitutional Status
    Nationalism, party political discourse and Scottish independence: comparing discursive visions of Scotland’s constitutional status Abstract This article critically examines the predominant narratives which emanated from party political discourse in relation to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum. Utilising a methodological approach centring on political discourse analysis (Fairclough and Fairclough 2012), this paper analyses party manifestos and constitutional policy documents produced by the three largest political parties represented in the Scottish Parliament, namely the pro- independence Scottish National Party and two pro-union parties, Scottish Labour and the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party. The emergent discourse of each party is interrogated by drawing upon pertinent theoretical concepts from previous academic analyses of Scottish nationalism, with particular attention given to those which have deployed modernist and ethnosymbolist theoretical approaches when analysing the Scottish context. This facilitates a critical reflection on the contrasting and nuanced narratives of the Scottish nation’s past and future espoused by each political party vis-à-vis modernist and ethnosymbolist theory, illustrating the ways in which contrasting theorisations of nationalism are empirically tangible within political discourse, and are thus not simply theoretical abstractions. Key words: Scottish nationalism, Scottish independence, political discourse, ethnosymbolism, modernism Introduction As argued in the seminal work of Kedourie

  • 4. the Water of Leith As Stated in the Introduction, This Will Be a Briefer
    4. The Water of Leith As stated in the Introduction, this will be a briefer account than those for the other rivers, following the same template in the upper reaches, but focussing on tributaries past and present once within the city boundary of Edinburgh, until the last stretch through Leith. The sources of the Water of Leith are springs at near 400m height on the northern slopes of West Cairn Hill and Colzium Hill, in the Pentland Range. These feed three streams, rather unimaginatively named, ‘West Burn’, ‘Mid Burn’, and ‘East Burn’, which join together near the hamlet of Colzium, to form the Water of Leith, at Grid Reference NT 086 589. From here, the small river winds north-east for c2.5km until it enters Harperrig Reservoir. This large artificial body of water has a surface area of 94 hectares, and is shaped something like an open-mouthed flounder, with its tail to the south-west, where the Water of Leith enters, and with its jaws to the east. The reservoir was opened in 1860, and its function was to store water which could be used, especially during dry spells, to compensate for water abstracted from the springs referred to above, their effusions having been piped into the Edinburgh water supply. Reservoir water was released as needed to maintain the river flow which drove many mills in the 19th century. Somewhat perversely, its function has turned full-circle, as with the mills defunct, it now holds back water which would otherwise increase the risk of flooding in Edinburgh after heavy rain.

  • Leith Neighbourhood Network Inaugural Meeting, 30 May 2019
    Leith Neighbourhood Network inaugural meeting, 30 May 2019 This report based is on my notes taken at the meeting, and my recollections on 7 June 2019. The meeting was opened by Evelyn Kilmurry (North East Locality Manager – Place, City of Edinburgh Council). She stated that her role is to facilitate/support the network, and noted that there are three other neighbourhood networks (NNs) in northeast Edinburgh. NNs are ward-based, so in NE Edinburgh the NNs are Leith/Leith Walk, Craigentinny/Duddingston and Portobello/Craigmillar. The latter two NNs also had their inaugural meetings this week. Evelyn said that the aims of this meeting are to be informal, to enable networking, to find what Leith NN can do to make things better for Leith people. The point of NNs is to enable local people to have their say. Hence NN members are local people, not council staff or elected members. What is an NN? Evelyn stated that it is not a council service or committee, and that it is not a place to make service requests or complaints. NNs must meet at least once each year, to engage with local people and the wider community, e.g. on service development. Each NN is a place for community groups to work together with service providers to solve problems, and to deliver the priorities in the local improvement plan, e.g. action on child poverty, social isolation and loneliness, improving environment. It is up to the NN members to develop its membership. Hence we should start by looking into whether we want to grow or refine Leith NN’s membership, starting with the current list.
