KINROSS COUNTY COUNCIL CC2 CONTENTS Identity statement area Reference Code: GB 252 CC2 Title: Kinross County Council Date(s): 1738-1975 Level of description: Fonds Extent and medium of the unit of description: 40 linear metres Context area Name of creator(s): Employees and contacts of the Council Administrative / Biographical history: Kinross County Council was an elected body established, like other county councils, by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889 (52 & 53 Vict., c. 50). County councils inherited almost all the functions of commissioners of supply, and those of county road trusts and local authorities set up under the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Acts. They also took over some administrative powers from the justices of the peace, but not their licensing or judicial functions. The responsibilities of the commissioners of supply for police matters were transferred to standing joint committees made up of commissioners of supply and county councillors. County councils were required to appoint full-time county medical officers of health and sanitary inspectors, and the local public health functions of parochial boards in landward areas were transferred to district committees of the county councils. The Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929 (19 & 20 Geo. V, c. 25) 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 main impact was in the areas of the poor law and education. County councils were now responsible for education everywhere except in the four counties of cities, and for the poor law and public health except in the counties of cities and large burghs. Under the 1929 Act Kinross County Council was combined for most, but not all, purposes with Perth County Council to form Perth and Kinross Joint County Council. Combined services originally included education, poor law, roads, police, major health services, lunacy and mental deficiency. Kinross County Council was to remain responsible for minor services as well as any services delegated by the Joint County Council.County councils were abolished in 1975 and their powers transferred to regional, islands and district councils (Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, c.65). Tayside Regional Council was the main successor Page 1 of 64 KINROSS COUNTY COUNCIL CC2 CONTENTS authority to Perth and Kinross County Council, although part of southern Perthshire was encompassed within the boundaries of Central Regional Council. Commissioners of supply were first established in Scotland in 1667 to collect the cess, or national land tax, on a county basis. The Commissioners were themselves the substantial landowners of the county, defined after the Union as those possessing property, superiority or liferent of lands with a minimum annual value of £100 Scots. They gradually acquired duties other than tax collection, although that remained their main function. During the eighteenth century they collected various assessed taxes such as window and horse tax, and with the justices of the peace were responsible for county roads, bridges and ferries. They became an important institution of local government and provided a voice for the views and concerns of landowners. In some counties attention was paid to police and vagrancy matters, and taxes could be levied for prisons, asylums and county buildings. Almost all their functions were transferred to the new county councils in 1890 (Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, 52 & 53 Vict., c.50), with one important exception. Commissioners of supply formed part of the membership of standing joint committees, which were the police authorities in counties until 1930, and also were required to approve all capital works undertaken by county councils. Both standing joint committees and commissioners of supply were abolished in 1930 (Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929, 19 & 20 Geo. V, c.25). The Poor Law (Scotland) Act 1845 (8 & 9 Vict., c.83) established parochial boards throughout Scotland in rural parishes and towns, and a central Board of Supervision in Edinburgh. The constitution of the boards in rural areas depended on whether or not they imposed a poor rate. If they did not, they would be composed of the heritors and kirk session; if they did, they were required to add to the heritors and kirk session a varying number of members elected locally. Only a minority of parishes were legally assessed for poor rates in 1845 but most were by 1862. The entitlement to poor relief remained unchanged and excluded the able-bodied unemployed. Each parochial board was required to appoint an inspector of the poor who was in charge of the day-to-day administration of relief. Other functions were added to the duties of the boards, in particular those under the Public Health (Scotland) Act 1867 (30 & 31 Vict., c.101), which included the regulation of lodging houses, removal of nuisances, Page 2 of 64 KINROSS COUNTY COUNCIL CC2 CONTENTS construction of sewers, water supply and the control of infectious diseases. They were given the power to appoint medical and sanitary inspectors and to form special drainage and water districts. The public health powers of boards in the landward area were transferred to county councils by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889 (52 & 53 Vict., c.50). Special drainage districts and water districts were transferred to sub-committees of county councils. Parochial boards and the Board of Supervision were replaced by wholly elected parish councils and a Local Government Board for Scotland under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1894 (57 & 58 Vict., c.58). The new councils acquired a few additional functions, including the power to acquire buildings for public offices, ground for recreational purposes and the administration of rights of way. They could also take over the administration of some parish trusts. Parish councils were abolished by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929 (19 & 20 Geo. V, c.25), which transferred their functions to the county councils, district councils and town councils.

  • PERTH and KINROSS COUNCIL Environment Committee
    8 (16/487) PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCIL Environment Committee 9 November 2016 Flood Protection Schemes - Bankfoot and Coupar Angus Report by Executive Director (Environment) This report describes the Council’s investigations into potential flood protection schemes in two separate areas – Bankfoot and Coupar Angus. The report recommends that flood protection schemes are not taken forward in both areas as they are not economically viable. The report also notes that the Council will continue to manage flood risk in the Bankfoot and Coupar Angus areas by implementing the actions set out in the published Tay Flood Risk Management Strategy and Local Flood Risk Management Plan. 1. BACKGROUND / MAIN ISSUES 1.1 Under the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act (the 2009 Act), SEPA and lead local authorities recently published new Flood Risk Management (FRM) Strategies and Local FRM Plans. These documents set out a range of structural and non-structural actions that SEPA and responsible authorities will take to manage and, where possible, reduce the risk of flooding over the next six years. 1.2 The Environment Committee approved the publication of the Tay Local FRM Plan on 1 June 2016 (Report 16/241 refers). The final documents can be viewed at the following links: http://apps.sepa.org.uk/FRMStrategies/tay.html http://www.pkc.gov.uk/frmplans 1.3 The 2009 Act provides local authorities with discretionary powers to promote new flood protection schemes. Only those flood schemes which have been included in the FRM Strategies, the Local FRM Plans and the national priority list will be taken forward in the next six years.
