Figure 2 - Reduction of Municipal Waste to Landfill 86 Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway Area Waste Plan 5 Foreword by Ayrshire, Dumfries & Galloway Waste Strategy Area Group Chair I am very pleased to present the first Area Waste Plan for Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway. Not least because this document has been prepared as part of a pioneering collective approach to the development of an Area Waste Plan which aims to achieve the objectives of the National Waste Strategy for Scotland (NWS:S). The geographical area covered by this plan matches the local authority boundaries for North Ayrshire, East Ayrshire, South Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway Councils. The membership of the group developing the plan, therefore, aimed to reflect the social, economic and political responsibilities of that area. The development of this plan has taken place during a period of radical change. Scotland, with its abundance of cheap landfill, has a poor record in its use of waste resources which have until now, mostly been consigned to landfill sites at the end of their useful life. European environmental policy seeks to change this through the reduction of waste to landfill by using waste in recycling, composting and energy recovery. It is likely there will be a financial cost associated with this change. It is hoped, however, that local people will see that these additional costs are outweighed by the long-term benefits, including a cleaner and healthier environment. Certainly the response to consultation on the draft plan was extremely supportive of the proposal put forward. In particular people want to see more recycling and want to see the provision of suitable facilities that will allow them to recycle. The local authorities are responding positively to the challenges we face in moving towards a more sustainable form of waste management. The comments received in the consultation and the support given by the public, have allowed us to seek to address the issues involved in advance of the legislative implementation dates. They are looking to reduce our position of high reliance on landfill – some 95% in 1998 to 28% by 2020. During that period recycling is set to rise to at least 52%. The plan acknowledges the need to raise public awareness of the issues surrounding waste and the need to educate everyone on how they can make their personal contribution to the realisation of the plan by reducing the quantity of waste generated and by participating in recycling schemes. All of us, as waste producers, have a responsibility to ensure the successful delivery of this plan and the shift to more sustainable waste-management practices. The large and extremely positive nature of the response to the consultation augurs well for the future. Alastair Dewart Local Authority Liaison Unit Manager, SEPA Chair Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway Waste Strategy Area Group 6 Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway Area Waste Plan Foreword by Scottish Executive Currently almost all of Scotland’s household waste goes to landfill sites. This has been a cheap and – for most of us – convenient way of putting waste out of sight and out of mind. But disposing of unsorted refuse in this way is, quite literally, a waste of the world’s resources. It is also a potent source of greenhouse gases and other emissions to the environment with waste management (mainly from landfills) contributing almost a quarter of the total amount of methane emitted in Scotland each year. Moving to a position where we produce less waste, reuse and recycle more and recover value from as much as possible of what is left is at the heart of the Scottish Executive’s approach to sustainable development. Nationally we have set a target of recycling or composting 25% of Scotland’s waste by 2006, but we aim to move beyond that to achieve higher levels of recycling and composting and minimise our use of landfill.

  • Moffat Academy Newsletter
    Moffat Academy Newsletter Summer 2019 Introduction Dear Parent/Carer Although the weather was certainly changeable over the holidays, I hope you all enjoyed this precious time with your children. The school is always very quiet when they are not in, so I was delighted to welcome them and the buzz they create last Wednesday. They all appear to have settled well and I am sure they will be enjoying getting to know their new teachers and making some new friends. We have enrolled a number of new pupils in our school and I would like to extend a warm welcome to them and their families. Exam Results Congratulations to all our senior pupils who received their exam results during the holidays. The examination picture across our entire senior phase was particularly strong. Our S4 pupils broke school records with 70% achieving 5 or more National 5 qualifications. Yet again, our statistics compare favourably with schools across the authority. There were some outstanding individual performances and these children should be commended. However, there are some pupils who may be feeling disappointed. Our message for them is to regroup, come and seek advice and work hard during this coming year to achieve all they possibly can. The excellent results across our senior phase is testament not only to the hard work of our pupils but also the dedication and commitment of our staff team. We are very fortunate that staff go above and beyond to ensure that our young people achieve all they are capable of. Staffing There has been a number of changes to our staffing to start the new academic session.

Community planning puts local people at the heart of delivering services. It is not just about creating a plan or a vision but about jointly tackling major issues such as health, transport, employment, housing, education and community safety. These issues need a shared response from, and the full involvement of, not only public sector agencies but also local businesses, voluntary organisations and especially local people. The community planning partners in East Ayrshire are committed to working together to make a real difference to the lives of all people in the area. We have already achieved a lot through joint working, but we still need to do a lot more to make sure that everybody has a good quality of life. Together, those who deliver services and those who live in our communities will build on our early success and on existing partnerships and strategies to create a shared understanding of the future for East Ayrshire.

Many people have between them provided hundreds or thousands of records and this publication would not have been possible without them. More particularly, before my recording from 1996 onwards, plant records have been collected and collated in three distinct periods since the nineteenth century by previous botanists working in Dumfriesshire. The first of these was George F. Scott- Elliot. He was an eminent explorer and botanist who edited the first and only Flora so far published for Dumfriesshire in 1896. His work was greatly aided by other contributing botanists probably most notably Mr J.T. Johnstone and Mr W. Stevens. The second was Humphrey Milne-Redhead who was a GP in Mainsriddle in Kircudbrightshire from 1947. He was both the vice county recorder for Bryophytes and for Higher Plants for all three Dumfries and Galloway vice counties! During his time the first systematic recording was stimulated by work for the first Atlas of the British Flora (1962). He published a checklist in 1971/72. The third period of recording was between 1975 and 1993 led by Stuart Martin and particularly Mary Martin after Stuart’s death. Mary in particular continued systematic recording and recorded for the monitoring scheme in 1987/88.

The discussion provides a historical context for the tax lists and includes an analysis of the distribution of hearths, kilns, smiddies, saltpans and furnaces as indicators of wealth, social status and evidence of social, economic and agricultural development. Comparison is provided with other Hearth Tax lists and with contemporary records such as the poll tax returns, and also from later records such as early census information. The Hearth Tax is also compared with different Wigtownshire records from earlier and later periods (Wigtownshire Charters, parish records and the statistical accounts).
