  • Caithness County Council
    Caithness County Council RECORDS’ IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference number: CC Alternative reference number: Title: Caithness County Council Dates of creation: 1720-1975 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 10 bays of shelving Format: Mainly paper RECORDS’ CONTEXT Name of creators: Caithness County Council Administrative history: 1889-1930 County Councils were established under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889. They assumed the powers of the Commissioners of Supply, and of Parochial Boards, excluding those in Burghs, under the Public Health Acts. The County Councils also assumed the powers of the County Road Trusts, and as a consequence were obliged to appoint County Road Boards. Powers of the former Police Committees of the Commissioners were transferred to Standing Joint Committees, composed of County Councillors, Commissioners and the Sheriff of the county. They acted as the police committee of the counties - the executive bodies for the administration of police. The Act thus entrusted to the new County Councils most existing local government functions outwith the burghs except the poor law, education, mental health and licensing. Each county was divided into districts administered by a District Committee of County Councillors. Funded directly by the County Councils, the District Committees were responsible for roads, housing, water supply and public health. Nucleus: The Nuclear and Caithness Archive 1 Provision was also made for the creation of Special Districts to be responsible for the provision of services including water supply, drainage, lighting and scavenging. 1930-1975 The Local Government Act (Scotland) 1929 abolished the District Committees and Parish Councils and transferred their powers and duties to the County Councils and District Councils (see CC/6).

SPRING CONFERENCE 2019 The Changing Nature of Conservation Saturday 6th April, Clements Hall, York, 9.15am – 4.45pm The nature conservation movement in Britain has seen enormous changes over the past century or so, from the first tentative steps to protect species and sites to national and international initiatives to manage whole landscapes in harmony with the natural world. Great changes are likely to occur within the present century, too, so it is timely to review past progress and consider how our relationship with the landscape and its wildlife may alter in future years. This conference brings together representatives from major conservation bodies, who will present personal views of the changing nature of conservation: • Sir John Lawton, keynote address: ‘Making Space for Nature: past, present and future’ • Rob Stoneman (YWT): ‘The Wildlife Trusts: from preservation to dreams of a Wilder Future’ • Laurence Rose (RSPB): ‘4319 years of bird conservation’ • Richard Baker: ‘Alien pest invaders’ • Jeremy Purseglove: ‘Making Space for Water’ • Tim Thom (YWT): ‘Getting to grips with peat’ • Phil Lyth (Farming and Wildlife): ‘Farming with Wildlife in a changing world’ • Brian Walker: ‘Changing attitudes in the Forestry Commission’ There will also be displays and bookstalls.
