Active Stirling: Performance Update Stirling Council Agenda Item No.6 Date of Community Planning & Meeting: 28 March 2019 Regeneration Committee Not Exempt Active Stirling: Performance Update Purpose & Summary This report serves as the performance reporting information required from Arm’s Length External Organisations, (ALEOs), as part of the Council’s audit regime. The report updates Committee on the performance of Active Stirling for the period April - December 2018, against the Service Specification within the current Contract. Recommendations Committee is asked to: 1. consider and comment on the performance update information. Resource Implications The Agreement is contained within current budgets to the value of a £1.7M financial year 2018/19. Legal & Risk Implications and Mitigation There are no legal or risk implications associated with the contents of this report. 1. Background 1.1. Active Stirling is operating against its original contract now until March 2019. A further contract extension was issued in December 2018 to enable the new contract to be finalised to commence at the start of financial year 2019/20. 1.2. The Council is now the Sole Member of Active Stirling, and the organisation has adopted revised Memorandum and Articles of Association accordingly. The organisation has a new Board of Directors, and has recently agreed appointments from amongst its Independent Trustees to the posts of Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer. 2. Considerations 2.1. Active Stirling continues to play a key role in both the strategic leadership of sport and physical activity across the Council area via the Sport, Physical Activity and Healthy Living Strategy, and to deliver a range of operational services via the core contract, Active Schools, Community Sports Hubs, changing lives through sport and physical activity programmes, club development and support, performance sport and commercial activity. 2.2. The organisation works much more closely with the Council now than in the past, reflective of the sole member status and the changes in strategic expectations. 2.3. The performance period captured in this reporting period concludes in December 2018, and therefore just at the start of the Peak pool closure period. Pool attendances were actually above target for the reported period. 2.4. Active Stirling’s performance return against specification is included as Appendix 1. Summary points to note are as follows: 2.4.1. Pool attendance across all pools including those in schools is very slightly above target; 2.4.2. 18.5% of the population of Stirling West are recorded as service users; 15% of Stirling East; 14% of Bannockburn: 13% of Castle wards; 2.4.3. Rural service users unsurprisingly are lower: 12% of Dunblane and Bridge of Allan’s population; 6.5% of Trossachs and 5.4% of Forth and Endrick wards; 2.4.4. The highest number of Active Stirling membership cards holders reside in Stirling East ward, the lowest urban community membership is Castle, the lowest rural community membership is Forth and Endrick; 2.4.5. 64% of users are from the Stirling Council area; 2.4.6. The next annual customer feedback is due in April 2019. The last reported figure is from 2017 and showed that from 975 respondents, 86% said that Active Stirling offered a good range of activities; 79% that the services were good value for money; and 78% that the facilities were well run; 2.4.7. The Exercise Referral programme numbers are above target for the period; 2.4.8. Active Schools performance has increased in terms of activity sessions, participant sessions and numbers of distinct participants; 2.4.9. The number of clubs affiliated to Club Sport Stirling has increased since the last reporting period; 2.4.10. Swimming remains the activity with the highest number of participants in sports development activity by a significant margin; 2.4.11. Community Sports Hub activity has increased and is now stabilised, enabling the Council funded post to be seconded to Active Stirling and additional external resources secured from sportScotland; 2.4.12. User visits at Stirling Sports Village remains static; 2.4.13. The number of regional and national events hosted at Stirling Sports Village during this period is lower than that recorded in the previous period; 2.4.14. Attendance at non swimming indoor sports and leisure facilities is below target by c 500 per 1,000 population; and 2.4.15. Participants in health and wellbeing classes has decreased since the last reporting period. 2.5. The contract specification work measures set elements of Active Stirling’s activity. The organisation continues to work in partnership with the Council and other community planning partners to increase the impact of sport and physical activity, with a particular focus on changing lives. 2.6. Two recent successes worthy of note here. Firstly Active Stirling, working with the Council and the Clackmannanshire and Stirling Alcohol and Drugs Partnership was successful in an application to a hugely oversubscribed ‘Changing Lives thorough Sport and Physical Activity’ funding opportunity provided by sportScotland. The programme funded by this award will work with the Forth Valley Recovery Community to increase the use of sport and physical activity as a positive intervention for those in recovery from problematic substance use. 2.7. In February 2019, the long standing Twilight Basketball programme delivered in Raploch for young people from across the Council area was recognised by Scottish Sports Futures when Active Stirling and the Council’s Youth Team were awarded the Partnership of the Year accolade. 3. Implications Equalities Impact 3.1. The contents of this report were assessed under the Council’s Equality Impact Assessment process and it was determined that an EqIA was not required as the report is procedural. Fairer Scotland Duty 3.2. The contents of this report were considered in terms of the Fairer Scotland Duty and were determined not to be of strategic importance. Sustainability and Environmental 3.3. There is no direct sustainability impact on the Council’s duty relating to climate change. A Strategic Environmental Assessment is not required. Other Policy Implications 3.4. The contents of this report are in line with the Sport, Physical Activity and Healthy Living Strategy and the Stirling Plan. Consultations 3.5. Active Stirling was consulted on the contents of this report. 4. Background Papers 4.1. EqIA relevance check. 5. Appendices 5.1.

The PBB has identified 3 core budget categories for each council service – A. Transformation Options. B. Efficiency Options C. Stop/Reduce Options. The latter category, arguably contains many of the more unpalatable option a number of which could have more impact on rural communities than urban. These include – Fintry Nursery Closure, Withdraw Specialist Teachers (Music), Reduce Grey Bin Collection to 4 weekly, Introduction of Charge for Brown Bin Collection, Introduction of Road End Bin Collections, Stop Treatment of Invasive Plant Species, Reduce Frequency of Grass Cutting, Reduction of supported bus service budget by 50%, Increase Council Tax on Long-Term Unoccupied properties etc. Community Engagement: There have a series of meeting throughout the Stirling Council area including a well-attended one at Balfron High on 2nd December.

  • Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland
    THIS REPORT RELATES STIRLING COUNCIL TO ITEM 9 ON THE AGENDA STIRLING COUNCIL CORPORATE OPERATIONS 28 MAY 2015 NOT EXEMPT LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR SCOTLAND FIFTH REVIEW OF ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS 1 SUMMARY 1.1 This report updates Council on the Local Government Boundary Commission (LGBC) for Scotland’s fifth review of electoral arrangements and presents three further options for the purpose of agreeing a consultation response. 2 OFFICER RECOMMENDATION(S) The Council agrees:- 2.1 to consider the Local Government Boundary Commission’s proposal and the 3 options presented in paragraphs 3.5 to 3.17 of this report and to agree a response from the Council to the LGBC. 3 CONSIDERATIONS BACKGROUND 3.1 The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland is required to conduct electoral reviews for each local authority area in Scotland at intervals of between 8 and 12 years. Their fourth reviews were conducted in 2004- 2006 and these resulted in the current multi-member wards used for local government elections in 2007 and 2012. 3.2 The fifth review began in 2014 with consultation, firstly with Councils and then with the public, on the numbers of councillors for each council. This stage resulted in the proposal that Stirling Council should have 23 elected members based on population and levels of deprivation. 3.3 The current stage of the review is to determine ward boundaries. The Commission’s proposals for revised ward boundaries for the Stirling Council area are now open for consultation responses from local authorities. After considering responses from councils the LGBC will conduct a 12-week public consultation between July and October 2015.

    SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Issued on behalf of The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland Not for Publication, Broadcast or use on Club Tapes before 0001 Hours on 26 May 2016 Recommendations for councillor numbers and wards submitted to Scottish Ministers The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland has submitted its recommendations on councillor numbers and wards for each of Scotland's 32 council areas to Scottish Ministers. These recommendations arise from the 5th Reviews of Local Government Electoral Arrangements which began in February 2014. The recommendations provide for 351 wards and 1219 councillors across Scotland, an overall decrease of 2 wards and 4 councillors relative to existing arrangements. Under the recommendations, representation of the electorate within council areas will be more evenly shared between councillors and across Scotland there will be greater equity in electoral representation. Ronnie Hinds, Chair of the Commission, said: "Today we have submitted to Scottish Ministers our recommendations for electoral arrangements which we believe are in the interests of effective and convenient local government across Scotland. These recommendations set out the number of councillors for each council area and the boundaries of the wards they will represent. We are grateful to councils and to the public who responded to our consultations over the last two years. Their input has been invaluable in shaping our proposals and while we must take account of our obligations under the legislation and consider the interests of the whole council area, we have been able to take on board many of the views expressed. The legislation which governs our reviews places equality of representation at the heart of what we do and we have delivered a set of recommendations that significantly improves electoral parity across Scotland and so provides for fairer local democracy and more effective local government ." 1 A summary of the recommendations for each council area is contained in the appendix to this release.

  • May 3Rd 2012 New Directions for Local Councils an Action Plan for Green Councillors in Scotland Message from Patrick Harvie MSP and Alison Johnstone MSP
    The Scottish Green Party Manifesto for local elections May 3rd 2012 New Directions for local councils An action plan for Green Councillors in Scotland Message from Patrick Harvie MSP and Alison Johnstone MSP In 2012 local elections come out of the shadows. For the first time in 17 years council elections are being held in their own right. It is a chance for people to cast their votes on local issues, for the parties that present the best policies for their area, and for the candidates who can show real commitment to that area. We believe that Green candidates are worthy of those votes. Greens in local councils have already shown that they can make a difference. Examples are given throughout this manifesto. Our candidates come to you with track-record of hard work at community level, of developing constructive ideas, of listening to people; and of shaking up the status quo. The voting system also means that every Green vote counts. In 2007 the first Green councillors were elected in Scotland, in Glasgow and Edinburgh. We have Green Party members on Aberdeenshire Council as well now. We expect their numbers to swell in this election, with many more councils having a Green voice on them for the first time. But the election is about more than committed candidates. It takes place at a unique time in our politics. At a UK level the Coalition Government, unchallenged by a scarcely credible opposition, continues its slash and burn approach to public services with scant regard to the needs of the country both now and in the future.

  • As You Know I Have Previously Informed You About the Changes To
    CONFIRMATION OF ARRANGEMENTS FOR FORTH VALLEY DIVISION POLICING MODEL WITHIN STIRLING AREA COMMAND I previously informed you about the changes to our Policing model through which we aim to deploy visible resources at the most effective times to deliver on Police Scotland, Forth Valley Division and local community priorities. Our aim was to implement the new policing model as close to 1 April as possible. Following appropriate consultation with staff regarding a new shift pattern that will align Community Officers more closely with that of their Response colleagues, I can advise that arrangements are complete to implement our new policing model on Monday 12 May, 2014. The new Community Officer shift pattern will be flexible enough to recognise specific community demands and responsibilities placed on Community Officers, whilst also enhancing the resources available to address calls for service from the public at peak times of demand. This will result in more officers working together towards meeting the needs and expectations of local communities. Response and Community Officers will operate as a single team on an aligned shift pattern with the same group of supervisors delivering jointly on local priorities. The new policing model reflects our staff establishment of 625 officers. This includes all ranks and specialist officers within the Divisional Criminal and Public Protection Units, as well as 354 uniform front line operational Constables. The latter have been distributed across the Division giving Falkirk Area Command 175 officers, Stirling Area Command and the remote rural area 114 officers and Clackmannanshire Area Command 65 officers. The number of operational officers deployed in Response and Community policing is based on the specific demands of both functions, as is the structure of the Area Command, which will be split into Stirling Sub Area Command and Balfron and Callander Sub Area Command.

  • BCS Paper 2016/16 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Constituency Considerations for Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stir
    Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2016/16 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Constituency considerations for Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stirling council areas Action required 1. The Commission is invited to consider alternative designs of constituencies for Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stirling council areas in furtherance of its 2018 Review of UK Parliament constituencies. Background 2. On 24 February 2016, the Commission began its 2018 Review of UK Parliament constituencies with a view to making its recommendations by October 2018 in tandem with the other UK parliamentary boundary commissions. 3. The review is being undertaken in compliance with the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, as amended. The Act stipulates a UK electoral quota of 74,769.2 electors and use of the parliamentary electorate figures from the December 2015 Electoral Register. The 5% electorate limits in the Act correspond to an electorate of no less than 71,031 and no more than 78,507. 4. The Act requires the Commission to recommend the name, extent and designation of constituencies in Scotland, of which there are to be 53 in total. 2 Scottish constituencies are prescribed in the Act: Orkney and Shetland Islands constituency and Western isles constituency. 5. The Act provides some discretion in the extent of the Commission’s regard to the size, shape and accessibility of constituencies, existing constituencies and the breaking of local ties. As this review is considered to be the first following enactment of the legislation (the 6th Review was ended before completion in 2013 following enactment of the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013) the Commission need not have regard to the inconveniences attendant on changes to constituencies.

  • Killearn Community Council
    Councillor Graham Lambie Forth and Endrick Ward Stirling Council Forth and Endrick News – Killearn – Wednesday, 15th February 2017 Arnprior Balfron Buchanan Buchlyvie Croftamie Drymen Fintry Gargunnock Killearn Kippen Strathblane Councillor Lambie Report New Waste Collection Service: There have been concerns raised about changes to waste and recycling collection policy. The new policy will see residents given 5 recycling boxes under the following collection timetable: 2 Week Collection: Brown Bin (Garden & Food Waste); Blue Bin (Plastic, Cans & Cartons); Grey Bin (Non-Recyclables); Blue Bin Small (Glass) 4 Week Collection: Green Bin (Paper & Cardboard) The service are keen to work with residents and CCs on this. For example with people living in flats sharing of bins will be a preference which should cut down on the number of bins. The service are also planning on running collections on a 7 day week basis – what time will this be – early Sunday mornings may not be appropriate. The service will be investing in new, rear loading collection vehicles which are easier to operate. Update: George Sommerville (Waste Services Manager) attended Balfron CC on Thursday 2nd Feb and updated the meeting re. the current position with the collection service. The main issues are listed below: o The new vehicles will be arriving in Feb/March 2017. Part of the delay was due to engine cut out switches which had to be installed after the Glasgow bin lorry tragedy. The 9 new vehicles will be leased and we are assured reliability will improve when they are all in service. Bin lorries can be tracked at http://my.stirling.gov.uk/binlorries o The service had lost about 30 staff via VS (Voluntary Severance) and valuable route knowledge was lost.

Foreword from Cllr. Scott Farmer Leader of Stirling Council SNP Group Although the Scottish National Party was the largest party at the 2012 elections, we have had an undemocratic Tory/Labour coalition run this Council for the last 5 years. This is your opportunity to change that and vote for an SNP group dedicated to providing quality services. Stirling SNP has a team of individuals who are representative of our diverse society, with a wealth of talent and life experience. We are the only party in this election fielding enough candidates to take overall control and rid Stirling once and for all this appalling Tory/Labour Administration. The economy and economic growth will be at the heart of an SNP Administration. We will harness the potential of the City Regional Deal and ensure the benefits are felt across all our communities. Stirling Council has lost the trust of its residents through the ill-fated Priority Based Budgeting Process (PBB).
