Thinning interventions will be careful not to overly destabilise stands, however due to varying levels of previous management this remains a potential risk.

  • Balloch Charrette Report Final Issue 16Th May 2016
    Balloch Charrette Report Final Issue 16th May 2016 Executive Summary Balloch is a village situated on the southern tip of Loch Lomond and as such, is viewed as a southern gateway to the National Park as well as a destination in its own right for day trips and short stays to enjoy the Loch. The Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and West Dunbartonshire Council, supported by Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Government, appointed 7N Architects and Nick Wright Planning to carry out a Charrette in Balloch in March 2016. The purpose of the Charrette was to undertake an appraisal of Balloch in its current state through a series of design-led workshops to identify opportunities for co-ordinated action that can benefit the local community, the visitor economy and make Balloch an even better place. A series of community design workshops were held at the National Park Headquarters in Balloch, supported by targeted engagement at local schools, local businesses and community group engagement and an active online discussion on the LIVE Park facebook page. This Charrette Report pulls together the outcome of the Charrette process and sets out a series of indicative proposals and recommendations shaped by the local community that can go forward for use by partners locally to act as a collective action plan for the future of Balloch. It acts as a framework that ensures development in Balloch works best for the village. 7N Architects 7 Randolph Place Edinburgh EH3 7TE tel +44 (0) 131 220 5541 www.7Narchitects.com Balloch’s idyllic setting, viewed from the South East The Charrette 01 Balloch’s idyllic setting, viewed from the South East Introduction Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and West Dunbartonshire Council appointed 7N Architects and Nick Key areas of focus for the Wright Planning to carry out a Charrette in Balloch in Charrette were identified February/March 2016.

  • A898 100 Erskine Bridge
    A898 100 Erskine Bridge Temporary Closure of Bridge Footpaths / Cycletracks Consultations 09/SW/1203/001 November 2009 Service is our passion. People, our strength Management and Maintenance of the Scottish Trunk Road Network 09/SW/1203/001 A898 100 Erskine Bridge Temporary Closure of Bridge Footpaths/Cycletracks Consultations EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recent tragic deaths of two teenage girls on 4th October 2009 have once again brought suicides at Erskine Bridge back into focus. On 16th October there was a further male suicide. In particular, Clydebank Community Council has strongly recommended that the bridge footpaths and cyclepaths be closed until enhanced suicide prevention measures are installed. As a result Transport Scotland instructed Amey to carry out consultations with relevant parties to ascertain their views on temporary closing the Erskine Bridge footpaths and cycletracks. This consultation process identified: • Despite the pedestrian/cyclist survey being carried out during poor Oct/Nov weather, it demonstrated a demand for use of the footpaths and cycletracks on the bridge. This demand is likely to be greater during summer months. • All 6 parties/organisations contacted (councils, police, sustainable transport and cycling groups) are strongly opposed to a temporary closure of the footpaths and cycletracks on the bridge. • One of the main points raised by the cycling groups was that a diversion of approximately 22km involving riding on some very busy roads would be completely unacceptable. The same diversion would apply to pedestrians. • Strathclyde Police would not support, nor be able to man the temporary closure of the footpaths and cycletracks. • Closure of the footways/cycletracks is likely to result in non-compliance of the restrictions and increased risk exposure to regular non-motorised users and other road traffic (i.e.

  • Localisation and William Macewen's Early Brain Surgery Part I
    Journal of the History of the Neurosciences 2004, Vol. 13, No. 4, pp. 297–325 Localisation and William Macewen’s Early Brain Surgery Part I: The Controversy? Malcolm Macmillan School of Psychology, Deakin University, Burwood, Victoria, Australia ABSTRACT Neurosurgery for the removal of brain tumours based on localising signs is usually dated from the 1884 operation by Bennett and Godlee. However, within weeks of that operation claims were made on behalf of William Macewen, the Glasgow surgeon, to have been the real pioneer of such surgery. According to Macewen’s protagonists, he had conducted seven similar operations earlier than Bennett and Godlee and, in a notable 1888 address, Macewen described these seven pre-1884 cases and a number of others operated on after 1884. This paper, which is in two parts, contains an evaluation of the claims made for the priority of Macewen’s pre- 1884 operations. Part I deals mainly with Macewen’s work in fields other than brain surgery that are relevant to it and sets out the facts of the controversy. It begins with a brief biography of Macewen, describes his pioneering work in antiseptic and aseptic surgery, his work on osteotomy and bone regeneration, and his use in brain surgery of the knowledge so gained. Part I concludes with an examination of the battle waged in the newspapers between Macewen’s and Bennett’s and Godlee’s supporters, and of previously unpublished correspondence between Macewen himself, David Ferrier and Hughes Bennett. The primary records of the patients on whom Macewen operated, together with other materials relevant to the controversy, are examined in Part II.

Recommendations I recommend that Committee: i) notes the progress of the River Clyde Flood management Strategy project; and, ii) Approves the River Corridor Supplementary Development Guide for issue as a document which gives guidance for new developments on the River Clyde. Ward No(s): Citywide: X Local member(s) advised: yes No Consulted: yes no 2 1 Introduction The aim of this report is to set out progress to date in the River Clyde Flood Management Strategy (RCFMS), the delivery mechanisms proposed and most specifically present for approval the River Corridor Supplementary Development Guide, a copy of which is attached. 2 Background to the Study The Halcrow and W.A. Fairhurst & Partners Joint Venture (HFJV) was appointed by Glasgow City Council (GCC) in May 2003 to undertake the RCFMS. The study adopted a catchment wide approach to help deliver a strategy for the council to manage flood risk along the River Clyde. The aim of RCFMS was to identify flood risk from the River Clyde within the City and beyond and to develop design solutions within Glasgow. The results of this study will play a fundamental role in supporting the regeneration of the River Clyde waterfront and demonstrates the Council’s commitment to delivering comprehensive flood defence and quay wall stability solutions in Glasgow.
