  • North Ayrshire Strategic Community Learning and Development Plan (Refresh) September 2018–2021
    North Ayrshire Strategic Community Learning and Development Plan (Refresh) September 2018–2021 North Ayrshire Strategic Community Learning and Development Plan (Refresh) September 2018 - 2021 Foreword I am delighted to present the refresh of North Ayrshire’s Strategic Community Learning and Development Plan. This new approach places importance on involving people, sharing priorities and ensuring workforce planning and governance arrangements underpin our commitment to meeting the needs of learners, especially those who are furthest from learning and difficult to engage, to make the most effective use of scarce resources. I particularly welcome the focus in the plan on the development of a Learners’ Voice network to ensure that learners in North Ayrshire are at the heart of developing the plan and making it responsive to their needs. CLD Strategic planning is becoming fully integrated within the Community Planning Partnership, the Local Outcomes Improvement Plan (LOIP), and we rely on the Community Empowerment team to help facilitate the partnership between learning providers and learners across the six localities. The strength of the North Ayrshire CLD Strategic plan will lie in the quality of the learning “partnerships” that we create and how we make the most effective and creative use of a diverse range of local learning assets. Our aim as a partnership is to develop a learning continuum which will provide informal, non -formal and structured certificated courses of learning, that lead to more skilled, qualified and confident communities, where people and families can grow and thrive. Our communities are integral to that partnership and we will rely on their sense of fairness and equity, matched to our commitment to delivering the Fair for All strategy, to enable us to commit the necessary resources to assist those with the greatest learning need.

There are rocky areas at Bath Rocks in the north- west and at the former boating ponds in the south-east. The nearby island of Arran can be seen to the west of the bathing water. The bathing water is also known locally as South Beach. It was designated as a bathing water in 1987. During high and low tides the approximate distance to the water’s edge can vary from 0–390 metres. The sandy beach slopes gently towards the water. For local tide information see: http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EasyTide/ Our monitoring point for taking water quality samples is located at the western end of the designated area (Grid Ref NS 23453 41997) as shown on Map 1. Monitoring water quality Please visit our website1 for details of the current EU water quality classification and recent results for this bathing water. During the bathing season (1 June to 15 September), designated bathing waters are monitored by SEPA for faecal indicators (bacteria) and classified according to the levels of these indicators in the water. The European standards used to classify bathing waters arise from recommendations made by the World 1 http://apps.sepa.org.uk/bathingwaters/ Health Organisation and are linked to human health.

  • Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2020
    North Ayrshire Research Briefing: Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2020 Main Points • North Ayrshire is the 5th most deprived Council area in Scotland (as in 2016) • 52 (28%) of North Ayrshire’s 186 data zones are in the 15% most deprived in Scotland (compared to 51 (27%) in 2016) • Deprivation is concentrated in The Three Towns and Irvine locality areas but Kilwinning and the Garnock Valley also have above average deprivation • North Ayrshire deprivation is mainly concentrated on the employment, income and health domains Background The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) has been published by the Scottish Government every three or four years since 2004. An updated (sixth) version was published on 28 January 2020. The SIMD offers an opportunity to assess relative deprivation across Scotland. Analysis is at data zone level of which there are 186 in North Ayrshire (average 727 population/344 households per data zone). All 6,976 Scottish data zones are ranked in order of relative deprivation. As such it is important to recognise that the SIMD does not measure absolute deprivation. Even if areas improve over time there will always be a “most deprived” data zone and there will continue to be 1,046 data zones in the 15% most deprived in Scotland. Indeed over time deprivation has become less concentrated in the major cities with a consequent increase in relative deprivation in other parts of Scotland. As well as an overall deprivation rank the SIMD provides a breakdown by seven ‘domains’ - income, employment, education, health, crime, housing and access. SIMD 2020 - Key Results 52 of North Ayrshire’s 186 data zones are in the 15% most deprived in Scotland, 1 more than in 2016.

  • Cumbrae Report Island
    Cumbrae Report Island: Cumbrae Date: 23/05/2019 This report has been produced by the Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law and Governance (SCELG) and Scottish Island Federation (SIF) in the framework of their collaboration with the Islands Team of the Scottish Government. The goal of this report is to capture the essence of the discussions that have taken place at the consultation event on Cumbrae. The report will be sent out to participants who authorised us to do so in order to receive further comments and feedback. The report is not to be considered as an indication of what will ultimately go into the National Island Plan, but it will inform the latter. The report is also not to be considered as an indication of the position of Scottish Government on any of the points mentioned therein. Introduction On 23 May 2019 a consultation event took place on Cumbrae between 7:30pm and 10:00pm. The event was attended by 15 people and the goal was to capture both what works well on the island and the challenges faced by the community on Cumbrae. The consultation is required by the Islands (Scotland) Act 2018, as a means to inform the National Islands Plan that Scottish Government will be presenting to Scottish Parliament on 4 October 2019. Cumbrae as a great place to live The consultation highlighted the following things that make living on Cumbrae great: ▪ Community ▪ Safety ▪ Environment ▪ Education ▪ Accessibility Participants to the Cumbrae event highlighted Cumbrae as a safe island with a friendly and welcoming community. Participants also underlined the close proximity of the island to the mainland as enabling residents to enjoy the benefits of island life whilst being able to access the mainland.

  • North Ayrshire Inclusive Growth Diagnostic
    North Ayrshire Inclusive Growth Diagnostic Evidence and scoring underpinning North Ayrshire’s inclusive growth diagnostic JUNE 2017 1. Background The North Ayrshire Inclusive Growth Diagnostic is a joint piece of work between the Office of the Chief Economic Adviser at the Scottish Government and North Ayrshire Council (NAC) which aims to assess what is holding back long-term sustainable inclusivity and growth in North Ayrshire. This is a pilot of the inclusive growth diagnostic tool at the Local Authority level and is an assessment of long-term prospects for transformational change in North Ayrshire – it looks at the legacy effects of industry decline from a social and economic perspective, and also potential areas for ‘inclusive growth’ in the region. This paper presents the prioritised inclusive growth drivers identified through the diagnostic, and the full results in annexes A and B. Activities The approach applied in North Ayrshire consists of the following stages: 2. Diagnostic Stage 1: Inclusive Growth Story The diagnostic process began by benchmarking North Ayrshire’s performance on a range of inclusive growth indicators against neighbouring local authorities and the Scottish average to identify high-level areas of achievement and challenge. This expanded the focus beyond the traditional measures of economic success and highlighted the areas to investigate through the diagnostic. The high level inclusive growth challenges identified in North Ayrshire include: Productivity and the legacy of industrial decline, as evidenced by low GVA per head, low business start-up rates, low business expenditure on Research and Development, and significant employment in low wage, low value sectors. Economic and social inclusion, as evidenced by lagging female labour market participation (relative to the Scottish average) and gender segregation in skilled/ higher paid occupations; high unemployment, in-work poverty and high levels of deprivation; and poor health outcomes, including mental health outcomes (which are both an outcome and driver of inclusion).
