How the Council Works- Decision Making Within Housing Services How the Council Works- Decision making within Housing Services Members of West Dunbartonshire Council are elected to represent West Dunbartonshire Council the people of the area. The Single Transferable Vote (STV) method of proportional representation is used. Voters in each ward 22 Elected Members indicate their preference of first, second etc candidates. A quota Labour (12), SNP (6), Independent (3), and formulae system then decides who is elected based on the SSP (1) preferences as indicated by the voters. There are 22 elected members in 6 multi-member wards Covering 6 wards (Clydebank Central, Clydebank Waterfront, Kilpatrick, Dumbarton, Clydebank Central, Clydebank Leven and Lomond). The current political make-up of the Council Waterfront, Kilpatrick, Dumbarton, is: Leven, Lomond Party Councillors Labour Party 12 Scottish National Party 6 Independents 3 Scottish Socialist Party 1 The Council usually meets every two months and is responsible for taking decisions, but it can delegate decisions to Committees, Sub-Committees or Officers. The Council meeting is attended by all the Councillors elected to West Dunbartonshire Council. Political administration and leadership The Council is currently led by a Labour Majority Administration and therefore does not rely on the support of other Members of the Council to get its policies approved. Councillor Douglas McAllister (Labour) is the current Provost and he is the Convener of the Council meeting. When votes are tied West Dunbartonshire Council the Provost has the option to use his casting vote to determine 22 Elected Members matters. Labour (12), SNP (6), Independent (3), SSP (1) Councillor David McBride (Labour Party) is the Spokesperson for Housing Services and is the Chair of the current Housing and Covering 6 wards Communities Committee. Clydebank Central, Clydebank Waterfront, Kilpatrick, Dumbarton, Councillors making Decisions Leven, Lomond The Council operates a traditional committee system with each committee having its own distinctive remit which allows it to make decisions on these subjects. An example of this is the new Housing and Communities Committee ( replacing previous HEED committee, Housing, Environment and Economic Development Committee) which makes decisions on housing management and community safety issues. Decisions at meetings of the Council or at a committee or sub- committee are usually taken after Councillors have had the opportunity to consider reports by the Council's professional officers. Standing orders govern how decisions are taken at meetings. (Copies of standing orders are available on the Council’s website). Individual Councillors cannot make decisions on their own; decisions can only be made by members at a meeting of the Council, its committees or subcommittees. You can view decisions taken by committees by accessing the Council’s library of committee minutes on the Council’s website. A timetable of committee meetings is also available on the Council’s website.

  • Proposed Plan
    West Dunbartonshire Local Development Plan Proposed Plan SEPTEMBER 2013 Foreword Welcome to the Local Development Plan for West Dunbartonshire. This is a plan for challenging economic times. It seeks to strike the correct balance between encouraging the development of our economy and communities whilst protecting the environment that makes West Dunbartonshire an attractive place to live, visit and invest. The Plan has a focus on ‘Our Changing Places’, those areas and sites within West Dunbartonshire where the Council wants or expects to see change. The Plan provides a positive framework to try and get these regeneration sites moving. The Plan identifies land for over 5,000 new houses. It identifies almost 50 hectares of land for new business and industrial uses throughout the authority area, providing opportunities for business and employment growth. It recognises the importance of strengthening our town centres and identifies opportunities within them for over 10,000 sq.m of new retail development. The Plan recognises it is time for the step-change to be made towards a more sustainable future. It sets a framework for renewable energy developments. Development is directed towards locations that can be accessed by public transport and away from areas that may be affected by more frequent and severe flooding. A framework is set to encourage all new development to contribute towards the creation of successful places. Our natural and heritage resources are protected. These include the Antonine Wall World Heritage Site and the Inner Clyde Special Protection Area which are both of international importance. Also protected are 8 Sites of Special Scientific Interest, 48 Local Nature Conservation Sites, the Kilpatrick Hills Local Landscape Area, 5 Conservation Areas and 141 Listed Buildings.

  • Planning Performance Framework Planning and Building Standards Service
    West Dunbartonshrie Council Planning Performance Framework Planning and Building Standards Service July 2016 Foreword Welcome to the fifth Planning Performance Framework and thank you for your interest in the Planning and Building Standards service in West Dunbartonshire. The Planning Performance Framework outlines our performance and shows our achievements, actions and improvements in 2015-16. It also outlines our proposed service improvements for 2016-17. A different approach to the assessment of last year’s Planning Performance Framework was taken whereby a peer review was undertaken by East Dunbartonshire Council who are part of our Solace Grouping. We also peer reviewed their Planning Performance Framework. Their feedback advised: “ Good example of a well-written, concise PPF report. As a result this is accessible to external stakeholders.” This review and the peer review of the East Dunbartonshire Planning Performance Framework helped shape this year’s Framework. West Dunbartonshire is one of the smallest local authorities in Scotland with just over 90,000 residents and is made up of rural, urban and waterfront locations. The Planning Authority excludes parts of Balloch and the countryside to the east and west of Loch Lomond which forms part of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park planning authority area. In 2015 the Senior Management structure of West Dunbartonshire Council was reviewed and a new smaller senior leadership team was created to drive the Council’s priorities from April 2016. Planning and Building Standards now sits under the Strategic Lead for Regulatory having moved from Regeneration and Economic Development. A number of the Council’s key capital projects are progressing well on site such as the new Clydebank leisure centre, the Dumbarton care home and a number of new schools: Bellsmyre co-educational campus; Kilpatrick special needs school; and the Balloch campus.
