Businesses in Argyll depends heavily on road transport and moving on a daily basis along this route are food supplies, fuel & oil, fresh seafood, building materials, animal and fish food, livestock, round timber and wind turbines to name a few. Tourist and commuter traffic also depend highly on trunk road routes in Argyll in particular connections to the Central Belt. Communities served locally by the road network include some of the most fragile in the country, with these roads often providing the sole means of access to vital lifeline services. Poor conditions and long journey times along the routes can place a significant constraint on the ease and comfort with which residents can access employment and lifeline services such as health, education, retailing and banking. At the same time, the poor condition of the network also acts as a barrier to growth among local businesses by adding to journey times, increasing the cost of transport, increasing vehicle operating costs and restricting labour catchment areas.

  • Children's Services
    The Highland Council Redesign Board Workshop Agenda Item 14 February 2017 Report No Council Redesign: Children’s Services Report by Review Team Leader Summary This report provides a final report from the Council Redesign team which was tasked to examine Children’s Services. It provides information on the service and specific recommendations on further work that could achieve savings and improvements in future service delivery and outcomes for children. 1. Background 1.1 Two functions were identified for review: looked after children and children in residential care. Looked After Children encompasses all placement types: residential care; fostering; adoption; kinship and looked after at home. The council is responsible for these functions although a range of partner agencies have some Corporate Parenting responsibilities. 1.2 Looked after children (LAC) This function involves the planning, intervention and support for looked after children and aftercare services for formerly looked after children. This is a statutory, regulated function with little discretion for the Council as standards are set nationally in regulation and with consequences on the size of expenditure. 1.3 Residential care This function relates to our duty to provide appropriate accommodation for looked after children. It involves in-house and commissioned places for looked after children, and the coordination of placements. This is a statutory, regulated function but with discretion for Council in relation to the type of accommodation used. The main legislation is contained in the Children (Scotland) Act 1995; the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001; and the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. Placement services are regulated and inspected by the Care Inspectorate regardless of the provider.

Hard copies will be subject to a £50 charge. NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Development/Project Mowi Scotland Limited proposes a new Atlantic Salmon farm in Kilbrannan Sound, named North Kilbrannan, situated just north of Cour Bay and about 9 km north from the existing Carradale North farm. The proposed infrastructure is 12 pens of 120 m circumference each, arranged in a 2x6 regular grid; associated moorings to the seabed; a feed barge; and 3 ancillary single point moorings. North Kilbrannan has a SEPA Controlled Activities Regulation (CAR) Licence (CAR/L/1168182) to operate up to a biomass of 2475.54 tonnes. Benthic Environment Uneaten food and faeces are the main components of particulate waste generated at a fish farm, which may impact the benthic environment. This assessment considers the impacts of the proposed North Kilbrannan farm, arising from organic (carbon) deposition and in-feed treatment residues.
