These are the aims for managing local flood risk. The objectives have been grouped in three main ways: by reducing risk, avoiding increasing risk or accepting risk by maintaining current levels of management. Objectives Many organisations, such as Scottish Water and energy companies, actively maintain and manage their own assets including their risk from flooding. Where known, these actions are described here. Scottish Natural Heritage and Historic Environment Scotland work with site owners to manage flooding where appropriate at designated environmental and/or cultural heritage sites. These actions are not detailed further in the Flood Risk Management Strategies. Summary of actions to manage flooding The actions below have been selected to manage flood risk.

The risk of flooding to people, property, community facilities, utilities, the transport network, designated sites and agricultural land is summarised in Table 1. The damages associated with floods of different likelihood are shown in Figure 2. For this Potentially Vulnerable Area the highest damages are to residential properties followed by damages to non-residential properties. The A85 is also impacted at a number of locations. The location of the impacts of flooding is shown in Figure 3.

Tay Local Plan District Section 2 168 Objectives to manage flooding in Potentially Vulnerable Area 08/14 Objectives provide a common goal and shared ambition for managing floods. These objectives have been set by SEPA and agreed with flood risk management authorities following consultation. They were identified through an assessment of the underlying evidence of the causes and impacts of flooding. Target areas have been set to focus actions; they do not necessarily correspond to areas at risk in SEPA’s flood map. The objectives below have been set for Comrie Potentially Vulnerable Area.

Both were widows; both were of high rank; both were closely connected with some of the noblest families in the kingdom; both in the end reaped to the full the crop they had sown, for both survived to witness the utter destruction of their respective Houses. The elder of these ladies, the Baroness Nairne, was then seventy-six years old; she was the only daughter of the first Lord Nairne; she had married Lord William Murray, a younger son of the first Marquess of Atholl, and by doing so had brought to him her father’s title. Her influence had alienated her husband from the Revolution principles of the head of his family, and had sent him and their eldest son to join Lord Mar in 1715. But this unflinching Jacobite had influenced more than her 1 Principal authorities:—The Lyon in Mourning; Chronicles of the Atholl and Tullibardine Families; Henderson’s History of the Rebellion (5th edition, London, 1753); The Jacobite Lairds of Gask; Report of the Proceedings of the Board of General Officers on Lieut.-General Sir John Cope (London, 1749); Memorials of John Murray of Broughton; Jacobite Correspondence of the Atholl Family; Lord Macleod’s Narrative in Sir William Fraser’s Earls of Cromartie; The Lockhart Papers; The Albemarle Papers; Cottin, Un Protege de Bachaumont (Paris, 1887); The Chiefs of Grant; Historical MSS.

  • Parishes and Congregations: Names No Longer in Use
    S E C T I O N 9 A Parishes and Congregations: names no longer in use The following list updates and corrects the ‘Index of Discontinued Parish and Congregational Names’ in the previous online section of the Year Book. As before, it lists the parishes of the Church of Scotland and the congregations of the United Presbyterian Church (and its constituent denominations), the Free Church (1843–1900) and the United Free Church (1900–29) whose names have completely disappeared, largely as a consequence of union. This list is not intended to be ‘a comprehensive guide to readjustment in the Church of Scotland’. Its purpose is to assist those who are trying to identify the present-day successor of a former parish or congregation whose name is now wholly out of use and which can therefore no longer be easily traced. Where the former name has not disappeared completely, and the whereabouts of the former parish or congregation may therefore be easily established by reference to the name of some existing parish, the former name has not been included in this list. Present-day names, in the right-hand column of this list, may be found in the ‘Index of Parishes and Places’ near the end of the book. The following examples will illustrate some of the criteria used to determine whether a name should be included or not: • Where all the former congregations in a town have been united into one, as in the case of Melrose or Selkirk, the names of these former congregations have not been included; but in the case of towns with more than one congregation, such as Galashiels or Hawick, the names of the various constituent congregations are listed.

    8 PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCIL 11/463 Strategic Policy & Resources Committee – 14 September 2011 Annual Report for Following the Public Pound 2010/2011 Report by Head of Legal Services ABSTRACT This report describes the Council’s arrangements for Funding External Bodies and Following the Public Pound (FPP) and monitors the Council’s performance against the Code of Guidance for Funding External Bodies & Following the Public Pound for financial year 2010/2011. 1. RECOMMENDATIONS The Committee is asked to: a) note the contents of the report and the ongoing commitment by the Council to working in partnership with voluntary sector service providers and, b) confirm that adequate governance arrangements are in place for Following the Public Pound. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 ‘Following the Public Pound’ means ensuring that there is proper accountability for public funds used in delivering services and providing social benefits, irrespective of the means of delivering them. 2.2 Each Executive Director is responsible for ensuring that there is clear public accountability for public funds which are provided from their Service budgets to outside organisations. 2.3 In common with other local authorities, the Council uses a number of external organisations to assist in the provision of its services. These external organisations include both private and voluntary sector providers. 2.4 Many of these arrangements are established through a commercial tendering process which results in formal contracts. The Council also enters into partnerships with service providers, particularly in the voluntary sector, and manages these through Service Level Agreements. 2.5 The Council developed a code of guidance based on the Code of Guidance on Funding External Bodies and Following the Public Pound issued by the Accounts Commission in co-operation with COSLA.

  • Perth & Kinross Council Archive
    Perth & Kinross Council Archive Collections District council records Perthshire District Councils were formed under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929 (19 & 20 Geo. V, c.25) which abolished district committees, standing joint committees, commissioners of supply, parish councils, education authorities and other bodies, and transferred all or most of their functions to county councils. The Act required county councils to draw up a scheme of district councils, to be composed partly of directly elected district councillors and partly of the county councillors from electoral divisions within the district. District councils had various responsibilities delegated to them by the county council under a scheme of delegation. These might include the letting of houses, the upkeep of cemeteries and, until 1948, the poor law. District councils also administered special districts or committees responsible for certain functions such as scavenging or water supply, financed by additional rates. District councils were abolished in 1975 by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (c. 65) and replaced in Perthshire by Tayside Regional Council and Perth and Kinross District Council. CDC Central District Council, 1928-1975 Central District Council covered the Perthshire parishes of Auchterarder, Blackford, Crieff, Comrie, Dunning, Fowlis Wester, Glendevon, Logiealmond, Madderty, Monzievaird and Strowan, Muckhart, Muthill and Trinity Gask.
