Megan Morrison became our first ever modern apprentice last August and then went on to win the SFHA, Scotland wide, Apprentice Challenge 2016 {picture: Inside back cover}. I’m glad to say Megan is now a full time employee of Fyne Homes within our Housing Department. Our scheme for 8 flats at Kilmun came off site this summer {Picture: inside front cover} and our scheme for a further 17 much needed properties at St Cuthbert’s, Dunoon comes off site this autumn. However, the big news is that additional Scottish Government Grant funding has been made available to accelerate social housing construction within Argyll and Bute. We have ambitious plans currently being drawn up to build approximately 100 new properties in various locations in Argyll and Bute over the next 2- 3 years …. so watch this space! My thanks go out to all the staff and committee members that have worked tirelessly over the last 3 years. May I wish my successor all the very best for their period in office, continuing to guide this dynamic group into the future and through all the challenges that it will no doubt encounter.

    SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Issued on behalf of The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland Not for Publication, Broadcast or use on Club Tapes before 0001 Hours on 26 May 2016 Recommendations for councillor numbers and wards submitted to Scottish Ministers The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland has submitted its recommendations on councillor numbers and wards for each of Scotland's 32 council areas to Scottish Ministers. These recommendations arise from the 5th Reviews of Local Government Electoral Arrangements which began in February 2014. The recommendations provide for 351 wards and 1219 councillors across Scotland, an overall decrease of 2 wards and 4 councillors relative to existing arrangements. Under the recommendations, representation of the electorate within council areas will be more evenly shared between councillors and across Scotland there will be greater equity in electoral representation. Ronnie Hinds, Chair of the Commission, said: "Today we have submitted to Scottish Ministers our recommendations for electoral arrangements which we believe are in the interests of effective and convenient local government across Scotland. These recommendations set out the number of councillors for each council area and the boundaries of the wards they will represent. We are grateful to councils and to the public who responded to our consultations over the last two years. Their input has been invaluable in shaping our proposals and while we must take account of our obligations under the legislation and consider the interests of the whole council area, we have been able to take on board many of the views expressed. The legislation which governs our reviews places equality of representation at the heart of what we do and we have delivered a set of recommendations that significantly improves electoral parity across Scotland and so provides for fairer local democracy and more effective local government ." 1 A summary of the recommendations for each council area is contained in the appendix to this release.

  • Transcript from Our Hustings Meeting in March 2016
    The Coalition of Carers in Scotland Fairer for Carers – Hustings Meeting 30th March 2016 Full Transcript of the Debate Opening Remarks Carole Ford, Scottish Liberal Democrats Well, good morning ladies and gentlemen. I think I will just say a word or two about myself because I think that looking at the panel here this morning, I am pretty much of an unknown quantity to most of you. I am actually a former head teacher and I was a head teacher of a secondary school for 14 years and so my experience of carers was dealing with and trying to support young carers and that was a real issue in schools and a real issue for the young people concerned and so that is my background and knowledge of dealing with the whole issue of caring. In a personal front also, I was a carer myself briefly for very elderly parents and have had the same personal experience that probably many of you have had and many of the carers across Scotland. In relation to the Carers Bill, as Donald said, the Scottish Liberal Democrats were very supportive of that Bill and gave it all the time, care and attention that it deserved and we are delighted that the Bill has now become an Act. The Scottish Liberal Democrats have identified two key priorities in this election and the first of these is obviously education. We consider that the Scottish education system has been seriously undermined under the current Government and we wish to put a penny onto income tax to rectify the situation Our second major priority is in fact mental health.
