    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.

A study of how the Kennedys extended their influence across south-west Scotland and acquired an earldom has never been undertaken. This thesis aims to fill the significant gap in our understanding of how lordship operated in this region. In particular, analysis of the interactions between the Kennedys and the earls of Carrick, usually the monarch or his heir, demonstrates that the key factor in their success was their policy of close alignment and support of the crown.

Argyll covers the southwestern islands and western peninsulas of Scotland. While Ayrshire boundaries are well marked, Argyll is a bit more amorphous, encompassing a region that historically stretches into the Highlands. One of Ayrshire’s primary attractions is “Burns Country,” because the area was the poet Robert Burns’s birthplace as well as his predominant stomping grounds for most of his life. But Ayrshire also offers golfers some of the best links courses in the world. If you take the train from Glasgow to Ayr, the main town of Ayrshire, you can see one course after another in the sandy dunes along the shoreline. Argyll, which means the “coast of the Gaels,” encompasses islands such as Bute and Arran as well as the more remote Kintyre Peninsula. Kintyre is so sufficiently isolated that ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has long owned a ranch there where he and his family can retreat from prying eyes. It takes the better part of the day just to reach Kintyre, however, so I don’t dwellCOPYRIGHTED on its charms for too long in this MATERIAL chapter.

Executive Summary 1 2. Introduction 3 3. Socio-Economic Context 6 4. Socio-Economic Assessment 19 5. Wider Socio-Economic Effects 28 6. Tourism Context 35 7. Evidence on the Effect of Wind Farms on Tourism 42 8. Tourism Significance Assessment 45 Socio-Economic and Tourism Impact Assessment: North Kyle Energy Project 1. Executive Summary The proposed North Kyle Energy Project (proposed development) consists of 54 turbines with a combined capacity of approximately 226.8MW1 and is located approximately 6 km to the west of New Cumnock. The economy of the immediately surrounding area was formerly based on coal mining and textile manufacturing, which have since declined in importance. Partly as a result of declining employment opportunities, the area has a relatively old population, high unemployment and relatively high levels of deprivation. The economic impact of the proposed development has been assessed based on an analysis of the local economy and the experience of what has happened at other onshore wind farms, including case studies of other onshore wind developments in Scotland. The result of the economic analysis suggests that during the development and construction phase the proposed development is expected to contribute up to: • £18.7 million Gross Value Added (GVA) and 279 job years in East Ayrshire; and • £85.2 million GVA and 1,308 job years in Scotland. Development and construction impact of £18.7 million GVA and 279 job years in East Ayrshire During each year the operation and maintenance of the proposed development could contribute up to: • £1.9 million GVA and 26 jobs in East Ayrshire; and • £3.0 million GVA and 43 jobs in Scotland.

He has also contributed articles to Scottish Local History, Scottish Brewing Archive and other journals. He lives near Drongan with his long-suffering partner, Joy. In 1995 he was one half of the Scottish Handicap Doubles Croquet Champions. Cover design by David McClure. 1SBN 0 9527445 9 7 THE STREET NAMES OF AYR 1 INTRODUCTION Names have an important role in our lives: names of people, names of places, and names of things. In an enclosed, small community, these names remain informal, but as the community grows, and as travel and movement become commoner, then more formalised names are required, names which will prevent confusion. Formal and informal names can exist alongside one another. During the course of preparing this book, I agreed to meet some friends on the road between ‘Nick’s place’ and ‘the quarry’: that we met successfully was due to the fact that we all recognised and understood these informal place names. However, to a different cohort of people, ‘Nick’s place’ is known as ‘the doctor’s house’, while had we been arranging this rendezvous with people unfamiliar with the area, we would have had to fall back upon more formal place names, names with a wider currency, names with ‘public’ approval, whether conferred by the local authority, the Post Office or the Ordnance Survey.

    Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009: Ayrshire Local Plan District Local Flood Risk Management Plan Published by: North Ayrshire Council Delivering sustainable flood risk management is important for Scotland’s continued economic success and well-being. It is essential that we avoid and reduce the risk of flooding, and prepare and protect ourselves and our communities. This is first local flood risk management plan for Local Plan District No 12, Ayrshire, describing the actions which will make a real difference to managing the risk of flooding and recovering from any future flood events in Ayrshire. The challenge now is for North, East and South Ayrshire Council, Scottish Water, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), the Scottish Government and all other responsible authorities and public bodies to turn our local flood risk management plan into action. No 12 Local FRM Plan Ayrshire Local Flood Risk Management Plan June 2016 P a g e | II Foreword The impacts of flooding experienced by individuals, communities and businesses can be devastating and long lasting. It is vital that we continue to reduce the risk of any such future events and improve Scotland’s ability to manage and recover from any events which do occur. The publication of this Local Flood Risk Management Plan (FRM Plan) is an important milestone in implementing the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 and improving how we cope with and manage floods in the Ayrshire Local Plan district. The FRM Plan details how and when the actions to deliver the goals set in the Flood Risk Management Strategy are to be delivered in the first six-year planning cycle, from 2016 to 2022.
