  • Overview of Allocated Funding
    Overview of allocated funding A combined total of £979,625 has been awarded to 116 community groups and workplaces through the Cycling Friendly programme with a further £821,991 awarded to registered social landlords across Scotland for improvement facilities to promote walking and cycling. More than 90,000 people will benefit from the funding. Setting Number funded Amount funded People impacted Community groups 48 £536,737 Data not collected Employers 68 £442,888 27,500 Social housing 33 £821,991 62,119 providers Total 149 £1,801,616 89,619 Kath Brough, Head of Behaviour Change at Cycling Scotland said: “We’re delighted to announce funding to 149 organisations across Scotland to encourage more people to cycle. Cycling Scotland work closely with partners to help employers, community groups and housing associations take advantage of the benefits of cycling and this round of funding will provide opportunity for over 90,000 people across Scotland to access improved cycling facilities.” Elderbank Housing Association, based in Govan, Glasgow, will receive £25,000 to install cycle parking for the 2,700 residents living across their properties, where currently there is no cycle parking. Jim Fraser, Estate Management Inspector, said “lack of storage has been a key issue for residents, especially those in older tenement buildings, so installing bike parking will remove a significant barrier to the uptake in bike ownership and cycling as a healthy activity. Govan is well established as an area of high deprivation and residents can often be found to have low household income and higher levels of household debt. This can impact greatly on people’s ability to access public transport beyond a limited geographical area and frequency due to a lack of sufficient finance.

  • Changes in Incapacity Benefit Receipt in MSP Constituencies, 2001 & 2008
    Scottish Observatory for Work and Health University of Glasgow Changes in incapacity benefit receipt in MSP constituencies, 2001 & 2008 January 2010 Judith Brown Joel Smith David Webster James Arnott Ivan Turok Ewan Macdonald Richard Mitchell Contact: Judith Brown Public Health & Health Policy 1 Lilybank Gardens University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8RZ [email protected] 1 Summary & Key Findings 1. The incapacity benefit (IB) rate was determined for MSP constituencies in 2001 and 2008. 2. There has been a decrease in the IB claimant rate in all the MSP constituencies except for six constituencies which show very small increases. 3. Glasgow Shettleston saw the largest fall in IB (8.3 percentage points), though it still had the highest rate of IB receipt in 2008, at 20.0% of the working age population. 4. This paper highlights the generally significant improvements in the levels of worklessness due to incapacity between 2001 and 2008 in MSP constituencies. However it confirms that there is considerable inequality across Scotland and a continuing need to prioritise interventions to improve social inclusion and work capacity. The Scottish Observatory for Work and Health is funded by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, NHS Lanarkshire, Scottish Centre for Healthy Working Lives and the Scottish Government Health Directorates. This work is based on data provided through EDINA UKBORDERS with the support of the ESRC and JISC and uses boundary material which is copyright of the Crown and the Post Office.

    AYRSHIRE MONOGRAPHS NO.25 The Street Names of Ayr Rob Close Published by Ayrshire Archaeological and Natural History Society First published 2001 Printed by The Cromwell Press Ltd, Trowbridge, Wiltshire Rob Close is the author of Ayrshire and Arran: An Illustrated Architectural Guide (1992), and is presently co-editor of Ayrshire Notes. 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.
