This strategy sets out the several legislative requirements of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004 which is detailed below. In addition to this the Community Safety Partnership will also produce an Antisocial Behaviour Policy document, which sets out in more detail, how agencies will respond to antisocial behaviour in Inverclyde. Whilst overall incidents of antisocial behaviour reported to both Inverclyde Council and Police Scotland have reduced over the previous three years, partners do acknowledge that antisocial behaviour can have a serious impact on the lives of our residents and have a negative impact on communities across Inverclyde.

  • © Patricia M`Cafferty, May 2004. Abstract
    PATRICIA MCCAFFERTY WORKING THE 'THIRD WAY': NEW LABOUR, EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS, AND SCOTTISH DEVOLUTION THESIS PRESENTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY, DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW MAY 2004 © PATRICIA M`CAFFERTY, MAY 2004. ABSTRACT Labour's election victory in 1997 was heralded as a new era, the dawn of a Third Way, a novel attempt to chart a unique political course overcoming the perceivedlimitations of both New Right and Old Labour. In this thesis I explore the era of New Labour generally and, in particular, the impact of the Third Way on working lives. Key to my analysis is New Labour's attempt to synthesise oppositional interests,in particular those of capital and labour. This involves a crucial rhetoric of flexibility, competitivenessand partnership. My research explores the rhetoric of New Labour in relation to the reality of this new force in power. It does this by: " drawing out key features in the development of New Labour, especially its relation to Old Labour; " examining central elementsof New Labour ideology; " arguing that Scotland should be seen as central to the transition from Old to New :Labour; " utilising a case study of industrial relations developments in a major electronics factory in the West of Scotland and, to a lesser extent, key developmentsin public sector employment. My main finding is that where New Labour's ideology promisespositive benefits, the form of its implementation has negative impacts for workers. Since I take New Labour as a process, my thesis concludes with a more speculative exploration of possible future developments,both in relations to New Labour's role in them, and their possible impact on the New Labour project.

  • Publication Scheme
    Glasgow City Region City Deal Guide to Information Available City Deal Publication Scheme The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (the Act) requires Scottish public authorities to produce and maintain a publication scheme. Authorities are under a legal obligation to: • publish the classes of information that they make routinely available • tell the public how to access the information and what it might cost. To comply with their obligations, the eight Member Authorities involved in the City Deal, including Glasgow City Council as lead authority, have each signed up to the Model Publication Scheme 2013 produced by the Scottish Information Commissioner. This scheme can be found on the Scottish Information Commissioner’s website: http://www.itspublicknowledge.info/ScottishPublicAuthorities/PublicationSchemes/PublicationSchemeResources.aspx Whilst each Model Publication Scheme applies to all information published by each Member Authority, this Guide to Information relates specifically and only to information held by Glasgow City Council as Lead Authority in relation to the City Deal. The purpose of this Guide is to: • allow the public to see what information is available (and what is not available) in relation to the Glasgow City Region City Deal • state what charges may be applied • explain how to find the information easily • provide contact details for enquiries and to get help with accessing the information • explain how to request information we hold that has not been published Although we are not under a statutory obligation to publish a separate Publication Scheme for the City Deal, we have chosen to do so in order to demonstrate our commitment to transparency and accountability, and to make it as convenient as possible for City Deal information to be located.

  • Foi-18-02763 Information Requested
    From On Behalf Of McMillan SM (Stuart), MSP Sent: 21 April 2017 15:52 To: Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport Subject: Inverclyde CMU Dear Cabinet Secretary, I write to ask for further clarity on the status of the maternity unit at Inverclyde Royal Hospital, and when an ultimate decision over its future is likely to be made. As you may be aware, the Inverclyde Local Development Plan, published by Inverclyde Council, has been released for consultation. Within this document there are several proposals which may have an effect on the Inverclyde maternity unit, and indeed the hospital in general. The Housing Need and Demand Assessment undertaken identifies a Housing Land Requirement in the Inverclyde Housing Market Area with 1691 further private development houses between 2017-2024. The favoured location for these houses are located at the former IBM site at Spango Valley, as well as the old Inverkip Power Station - which has been earmarked for over 600 units alone. These proposals are not without their difficulties, as the congestion on the A78 will no doubt greatly increase. Moreover, Port Glasgow and Greenock are interconnected primarily by the A8, a singular main road. This is prone to flooding which can cause arduous delays in transport. Recently, AP Jess, a butcher factory that operates on a section near the main road went on fire, which meant that the A8 was closed for a over a day, bringing traffic flow in and out of Greenock to a virtual standstill. Should a scenario like this ever happen again then people who rely on Inverclyde Royal Hospital - particularly women in labour - would be greatly affected.
