(b) Best Value Elected Member’s Network On 4 July 1997 a Task Force report on Best Value had been discussed with the Secretary of State for Scotland when it was emphasised that elected members and senior officials must be jointly committed to making best value work.

SC157 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO STANDING ORDER NO. 17 - APPOINTMENTS PANEL On 26 June 1997, the Council had given notice of its intention to amend Standing Order Number 17 - Appointment of Committees and Panels - Appointments Panel. At its meeting on 11 April 1996 the Council established an Appointments Panel comprising 7 Members of the Resources Committee to deal with appointments to the posts of Chief Executive, Directors and Heads of Service. On 9 May 1996, the Resources Committee in appointing Members to the Panel agreed that the Panel would have the discretion to invite the Chair of the Committee appropriate to a particular appointment to attend meetings of the Panel. The membership of the Panel was set at 7, consequently, the Chair of the Committee appropriate to a particular appointment did not have voting rights. A report by the Director of Civic Services confirmed a proposal that the membership of the Panel be increased to 8 to include either the Committee Chair, Spokesperson or Chair of the Policy Executive appropriate to a particular Appointment. Decision The Council resolved:- (1) to amend Standing Order No. 17 - Appointment of Committees and Panels to provide for a change in the membership of the Appointments Panel from 7 to 8 Members to include either the Committee Chair, or Spokesperson, or Chair of the Policy Executive appropriate to a particular Appointment; and (2) that it be remitted to the Director of Civic Services to prepare and issue an addendum pending the annual review of standing orders to be undertaken in time for consideration by Council in Spring 1998.

  • Cambusbarron (Site #31)
    Site #31 Cambusbarron The Original 2017 Full-Length Chapter OutlandishScotland.com A Novel Holiday Travel Guidebook Outlandish Scotland Journey Cambusbarron Original 2017 Chapter 2 Cambusbarron: Site #31 Once a Contender for the Fraser’s Ridge Outlander Season FOUR Film Site We wrote this chapter (and published its entirety in the 2017 edition of the Outlandish Scotland Journey Part Four eBook) back when Cambusbarron’s Gillies Hill was a strong contender for Fraser’s Ridge—a long-term film site that would feature in Outlander’s Season Four: Drums of Autumn. In January of 2018 we learned that the plan to film in Cambusbarron had officially been abandoned. “The Outlander production team earlier sought permission to build [the Fraser’s Ridge] set in woods outside Cambusbarron, near Stirling. “However, this plan is no longer going ahead.” https://www.scotsman.com/news/outlander-cast-and-crew-return-to-fife-village-1-4669949 It is unclear whether the Outlander production team withdrew their request, or whether the Cambusbarron Community Council denied them permission to film in the area. Basically, it doesn’t matter. Cambusbarron is NOT an Outlander Season Four film site. To avoid renumbering all subsequent chapters, we replaced the original, full-length Cambusbarron chapter with a starkly abbreviated version in Outlandish Scotland Journey Part Four. Having spent weeks researching and writing it, however, we hated the idea of simply discarding it. So, we didn’t! Beginning on the next page, you’ll find this chapter’s original, 2017 manuscript. Outlandish Scotland Journey Cambusbarron Original 2017 Chapter 3 Cambusbarron: Site #31 Outlander Season FOUR Film Site—Maybe! [Internet-posted pic, ©unknown segment (enhanced)] This chapter is published as a “work in progress” because nothing has been filmed here—as of this writing.
