  • 2010 Air Quality Progress Report for Falkirk Council
    2010 Air Quality Progress Report for Falkirk Council. In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management July 2010 Falkirk Council - Scotland July 2010 Local Jon Flitney Authority Officer Department Environmental Health Address Abbotsford House, David’s Loan, Falkirk, FK2 7YZ. Telephone 01324 504950 e-mail [email protected] Report Progress Report 2010 Reference Date July 2010 2 Progress Report - 2010 Falkirk Council - Scotland July 2010 Executive Summary A review of the Council’s monitoring data for 2009 shows that the 15-minute objective continues to be breached in the Grangemouth AQMA. In 2009 the Grangemouth Moray site recorded 65 exceedances. This is greater than the 35 allowed by the objective. All SO 2 monitors outside the AQMA met the 15-minute objective, with all sites meeting the hourly and daily SO 2 objectives. A breach of the 2010 annual PM 10 objective was recorded at the Falkirk West Bridge St site in 2009. This result will be used in the Falkirk Town Centre Further Assessment. Therefore the Council will wait for this report to be completed before considering whether to adjust the current AQMA. Since the 2009 USA the Council has declared three AQMAs for NO 2, two are in Falkirk Town Centre and one in the Haggs and Banknock area. In addition, the Banknock area near Cowdenhill Quarry remains subject to a Detailed Assessment for PM 10 . An Action Plan update for the Grangemouth AQMA is given. The Council continues to work on the measures outlined in the plan. In addition, a statement by INEOS about their tail gas treatment and other SO 2 emission reduction work is also included in this report.

  • Falkirk Community Safety Partnership Strategic Assessment 2011/14 Falkirk Community Safety Partnership Foreward
    Falkirk Community Safety Partnership Strategic Assessment 2011/14 Falkirk Community Safety Partnership Foreward t is with great pleasure that we present the 2011/14 Falkirk Community Safety Partnership Strategic Assessment. This is particularly important as it is the first time the Community Safety IPartnership in Falkirk has prepared a Strategic Assessment. This assessment has been prepared at a challenging time in light of the global economic downturn. It is certain that this will have a direct impact on available resources for all service providers and emphasises the need for all agencies to work more closely together to ensure that the right services are provided to the right communities at the right time. Whilst we cannot hide from the realities of the current economic climate there is a great deal to be optimistic about. The challenges we face come at an exciting time for the Community Safety Partnership where a great deal of good work has already been done to ensure Falkirk remains a safe place to live, work, visit and invest. Against a backdrop of good performance why then the need to carry out a Strategic Assessment? It is clear from this assessment that it is essential that we focus delivery in the communities of greatest need to ensure the good performance is maintained and improved to the benefit of the people we serve. We believe this assessment provides the Community Safety Partnership with a framework in which to both work and measure success over the coming 3 years and to have a real community focus. We would urge you, the people we are here to serve, to continue to work with ourselves to tackle the challenges identified in this strategic assessment.

Its strategic framework seeks to deliver enhanced access to housing, jobs and local facilities, integration of land use with transport, and a high quality of development; all within the overall context of caring for the environment. The Plan recognises that this can only be achieved by the Councils, key agencies, local communities and the private and voluntary sectors working in partnership. 1.2 A NEW STRUCTURE PLAN A STRUCTURE PLAN REVIEW – TOWARDS 2025 1.2.1 In April 1996, following Local Government re-organisation, Clackmannanshire and Stirling Councils were charged with the responsibility of working together to prepare a new Structure Plan to replace Central 2000, the Structure Plan of the former Central Region. The Plan was approved by Scottish Ministers subject to a number of modifications in March 2002. These changes have now been incorporated. 1.2.1 The Structure Plan was approved in 2002 with subsequent alterations in June 2004 (renewable energy) and August 2004 (Indicative Forestry Strategy). This current review extends the time frame of the plan from 2017 to 2025, updating the Plan to reflect current legislation, Scottish Planning Policy, changing circumstances and updated Census, population and household information.
