    EAST AYRSHIRE the community plan planning together working together achieving together Contents Introduction 3 Our Vision 3 Our Guiding Principles 4 The Challenges 8 Our Main Themes 13 Promoting Community Learning 14 Improving Opportunities 16 Improving Community Safety 18 Improving Health 20 Eliminating Poverty 22 Improving the Environment 24 Making the Vision a Reality 26 Our Plans for the next 12 years 28 Our Aspirations 28 2 Introduction Community planning is about a range of partners in the public and voluntary sectors working together to better plan, resource and deliver quality services that meet the needs of people who live and work in East Ayrshire. Community planning puts local people at the heart of delivering services. It is not just about creating a plan or a vision but about jointly tackling major issues such as health, transport, employment, housing, education and community safety. These issues need a shared response from, and the full involvement of, not only public sector agencies but also local businesses, voluntary organisations and especially local people. The community planning partners in East Ayrshire are committed to working together to make a real difference to the lives of all people in the area. We have already achieved a lot through joint working, but we still need to do a lot more to make sure that everybody has a good quality of life. Together, those who deliver services and those who live in our communities will build on our early success and on existing partnerships and strategies to create a shared understanding of the future for East Ayrshire.

  • Catrine's Other Churches
    OTHER CHURCHES IN CATRINE THE UNITED SECESSION CHURCH (Later: The United Presbyterian Church) he 1891 Census states that in its early days the population of Catrine “…contained a goodly sprinkling of Dissenters…some of whom travelled to Cumnock to the TWhig Kirk at Rigg, near Auchinleck; but a much larger number went to the Secession Church at Mauchline. The saintly Mr Walker, minister there, becoming frail and not able to attend to all his flock, this (ie.1835) was thought to be a suitable time to take steps to have a church in Catrine”. An application for a site near the centre of the village was made to the Catrine Cotton Works Company, but this was refused by the then resident proprietor who said that: “He could not favour dissent.” A meeting of subscribers was held on 16th June 1835 when it was decided to approach Mr Claud Alexander of Ballochmyle with a request for ground. Mr Alexander duly granted them a site at the nominal sum of sixpence per fall. (A fall was equal to one square perch – about 30.25 square yards.) Another meeting of subscribers on 12th April 1836 authorised obtaining a loan of up to £350 to cover the cost of erecting a building on the site at the foot of Cowan Brae (i.e. at the corner where the present day Mauchline Road joins Ballochmyle Street). James Ingram of St.Germain Street, father of the eminent architect Robert Samson Ingram of Kilmarnock, was appointed to draw out plans. A proposal was approved to place a bottle containing the County newspaper in the foundation.

  • Newmilns & Greenholm Community Action Plan 2021-2026 Profile
    Newmilns & Greenholm Community Action Plan 2021-2026 Profile 1. Brief Description and History 1.1 Early History Evidence of early habitation can be found across The Valley, with the earliest sites dating from around 2000 BC. To the east of Loudoun Gowf Course, evidence has been found of the existence of a Neolithic stone circle and a Neolithic burial mound lies underneath the approach to the seventh green. A site in Henryton uncovered a Neolith barrow containing stone axes (c. 1500 BC) and a Bronze Age cairn dating from about 1000 BC (the cairn itself contains cists which are thought to have been made by bronze weapons or tools). Following this early period, from around AD 200 evidence exists of not only a Roman camp at Loudoun Hill, but also a Roman road running through The Valley to the coast at Ayr. The camp was uncovered through quarry work taking place south of Loudoun Hill but tragically much of this evidence has been lost. According to local workmen, many of the uncovered remains & artefacts were taken with the rest of the quarried materials to be used in road construction projects. Typically, little is known of The Valley's history during the Dark Ages, but it seems likely that an important battle was fought around AD 575 at the Glen Water. In addition, given the strong strategic importance of Newmilns' position as a suitable fording place and a bottleneck on one of Scotland's main east-west trade routes, it is not unlikely that other battles and skirmishes occurred during this period.

  • East Ayrshire Council
    EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL SOUTHERN LOCAL PLANNING COMMITTEE: 21 JANUARY 2011 10/0842/PP: PROPOSED MINING OF COAL USING SURFACE MINING METHODS WITH RESTORATION TO IMPROVED PEATLAND AND WET HEATH HABITATS AT DALFAD SURFACE MINE, NEAR POWHARNAL SURFACE COAL MINE, SKEW BRIDGE, CRONBERRY APPLICATION BY SCOTTISH COAL Click for Application Details: http://eplanning.east- ayrshire.gov.uk/online/caseFile.do?category=application&caseNo=10/0842/PP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SHEET 1. DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION 1.1 Planning permission is sought for a surface mine at Dalfad providing for the extraction of approximately 700,000 tonnes of coal over an approximate 18 month extraction period plus an additional 18 months for start up and final restoration works. 1.2 The proposed site has been planned as part replacement for the existing Powharnal operational site which ceased coaling late in 2010. The current application is, in effect, an extension to the Powharnal / Gasswater mining complex and this is borne out by the application site boundary including the existing site offices, maintenance and coal handling facilities that serve the existing operational site. Coal from the site will be used principally for electricity generation. The applicant advises that the overall restoration strategy for Dalfad is to create a much improved moorland landscape with area of replacement habitats with high wildlife conservation value such as marshy grassland, peat bog and wet heath and other wetland habitats. 1.3 The proposed development will involve mineral recovery in three phases totalling an area of approximately 47 hectares with the remainder of the site being utilised for temporary overburden storage, water treatment lagoons and coal processing or remaining undisturbed.
