We intend to have this up and running by the end of January. Our supplier for clothing is Border Embroideries, now known as BE SCHOOLWEAR. We have not increased prices of our clothing for many years, however, as the company are increasing their prices from January 2017, I’m afraid that we will have no option but to increase our prices too. Clothing will no longer be available to order via the school office (apart from ties). Orders made online can be delivered to your home address (costs £4.99 or free delivery if you spend £50 or more). There will also be the option of free delivery to the school - the company will guarantee delivery to the school within 20 days of ordering. As you will be aware, BE SCHOOLWEAR have a shop in Falkirk (32 Vicar Street) where uniform can also be purchased. Yours sincerely Evelyn Macdonald HEADTEACHER Director : Robert Naylor Address: Sealock House 2 Inchyra Road. Grangemouth.

It will set out the Council’s overarching transport vision: “to provide a transport network… which allows people a reasonable choice of travel options as part of a safe, reliable, convenient, accessible and sustainable transport system”. A strategy of promoting walking, cycling, motorcycling and public transport with some car restraint will be evaluated against the three strategic outcomes of the Scottish Government’s National Transport Strategy: • Improve journey times and connections – to tackle congestion and the lack of integration and connections in transport which impact on our high level objectives for economic growth, social inclusion, integration and safety; • Reduce emissions, to tackle issues of climate change, air quality, and health improvement which impact on our high level objective for protecting the environment and improving health: and • Improve quality, accessibility and affordability, to give people a choice of public transport, where availability means better quality transport services and value for money or an alternative to the car.

The major achievement has been the development of the Regional Transport Strategy and its submission to the Transport Minister on the 30th March this year, on time and on budget. Credit for this goes not only to SEStran officers and the consultants involved but importantly to all the Partner Authorities who, through their officers and Board members, provided essential input to the process. This has been an excellent example of partnership in action and has built on the excellent relationships developed during the period when SEStran was a voluntary partnership. The Partnership’s revenue budget for 2006/7 has been successfully managed. The core budget has allowed the recruitment of staff and the establishment of business processes for an efficient operation. The transition budget has provided the necessary office accommodation, hardware and software for the Partnership and has allowed us to develop a highly suitable office environment for future business. On the revenue projects front we have made significant progress.
