North Ayrshire Council, Cunninghame House, Irvine KA12 8EE 4. Referral from Cabinet: Brodick Harbour Redevelopment (Page 25) Submit report by the Chief Executive on proposals by Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited to implement a comprehensive redevelopment of Brodick Harbour and requesting consideration of a recommendation by the Cabinet on the Council's financial contribution to the project (copy enclosed). 5. Leader's Report The Leader of the Council will report. 6. Committee Minutes (11 February to 20 March 2014) Submit for noting, the minutes of meetings of committees of the Council held in the period 11 February to 20 March 2014 (issued under separate cover). 7. Questions In terms of Standing Order No. 12 submit (a) a question by Councillor Marshall to the Cabinet Member for Finance, Corporate Support and Housing in the following terms: "A report to the Corporate Health and Safety Group on 6 February 2014 recorded 296 incidents of Aggression and Violence within the Education and Skills Service for the nine months to December 2013 – an annualised figure of some 400. How many of these incidents were reported to the Police and what remedial action is being taken to reduce the incidence of such aggression and violence to staff and pupils?" (b) a question by Councillor Marshall to the Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Regeneration in the following terms: "It was reported in February 2014 that Argyll and Bute Council had been successful in their application for £18.9M from the Scottish Government’s Tax Incremental Finance (TIF) Scheme. The funds will be used in the Oban and Lorn area, the Lorn Arc, to promote economic growth. It is noted that NAC’s bid for TIF in August 2011 for £15.2M for Irvine was unsuccessful. Can we have an assurance that North Ayrshire Council will emulate Argyll and Bute Council in seeking to apply for any future TIF funding to promote economic growth in the North Coast Tourist areas?" North Ayrshire Council, Cunninghame House, Irvine KA12 8EE 2 (c) a question by Councillor Reid to the Cabinet Member for Community and Culture Policy and Service in the following terms: "The Council endorsed free swimming across North Ayrshire last summer which was reported as a great success and certainly made the pools across Ayrshire considerably busier. A recent campaign during the Winter Olympics resulted in increased attendance at the ice skating in the Auchenharvie rink. This promotion reduced the cost of attendance by a small margin resulted in four fold increase in attendance at very small increase in costs to North Ayrshire Leisure. Can the Cabinet Member advise me if they can investigate the possibilities of extending free skating or reduced price skating for North Ayrshires young people during the school holiday periods when attendance in past has been very low? This would have health benefits and benefit the wider sporting community like the swimming promotion has?" (d) a question by Councillor Bell to the Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Regeneration in the following terms: "Since 2007 the claimant unemployment rate has doubled. What steps has the administration taken to attempt to improve the situation?" (e) a question by Councillor Cullinane to the Cabinet Member for Finance, Corporate Support and Housing in the following terms: "How many agency staff are employed by the Council?" (f) a question by Councillor Gallagher to the Cabinet Member for Finance, Corporate Support and Housing in the following terms: "How much has been spent by the Council, how much has been committed in contracts and how much is projected to be spent on purchasing and preparing the land at Longbar for the proposed new Garnock Academy and from which budgets?" 8. Treasury Management Strategy Report (Page 105) Submit report by the Corporate Director (Finance and Corporate Support) on the proposed Strategy for Treasury Management activities within the Council for the financial year 2014/15 (copy enclosed). 9. Revenue Estimates 2014/15 - Common Good and Trusts (Page 143) Submit report by the Corporate Director (Finance and Corporate Support) on annual income and expenditure in respect of the Common Good Funds and Trusts administered by North Ayrshire Council, and the proposed levels of grant funding to be made available for disbursement in 2014/15 (copy enclosed).

  • A BRIEF HISTORY of ST MOLIOS CHURCH SHISKINE This Booklet Is a Brief History of Church Life in and Round Shiskine, and in Particular of St Molios Church
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF ST MOLIOS CHURCH SHISKINE This booklet is a brief history of church life in and round Shiskine, and in particular of St Molios Church. The Red Church was opened for worship on 21st July 1889. This event testified to the faith and commitment of generations of Christian people. The expansion has continued. In 1962 a Guild Room and kitchen were added to the church. In 1964 the kitchen and Vestry were let out to the Board of health twice a week for physiotherapy. Thereafter the toilets were altered to ensure access, for disabled people and improvements to the kitchen and hall were carried out. The profits generated by this booklet will benefit the fund set up to enable improvements to the Church & Hall. The new manse was built in 1978. Services on Sunday are well attended both by our members and visitors who flock to the island every year. The church of Scotland has adjusted ministry on the island so that since 2005 our parish has been linked not only to Lochranza and Pirnmill, but also to Brodick & Corrie. The arrangement is made possible by the appointment of a minister and a part-time Parish Assistant resident in Shiskine manse. The Minister and Reader conduct three services each on a Sunday, ensuring the tradition of morning worship can continue. Worship is always at 12:00 noon at St. Molios. Visitors to other churche in the linkage need to consult "The Arran Banner" or the church notice board for times of services which vary. The Sunday Club meets at the time of morning worship weekly during term-time and is open to children from four to eleven.
