Item No 1.1 the City of Edinburgh Council Item no 1.1 + + EDIN BVRG H THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL Leader’s Report The City of Edinburgh Council 11 March 2010 1 Haiti Earthquake Disaster There has been an incredible response to the Edinburgh Disaster Response Committee (EDRC) emergency appeal to raise funds for the Haiti earthquake. Over f300,OOO has been raised. Through the international charity Mercy Corps, with its European HQ in Edinburgh, the funds will focus on the longer term, giving support to those affected by the earthquake to help rebuild their Iives . Several high profile fund raising events have taken place, including the sell out ‘Poets for Haiti’ event, led by the Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy and Don Paterson. This was an amazing event with a fantastic posse of poets giving their services for free to the delight of the audience at Scotland’s biggest ever poetry reading. Edinburgh Makar, Ron Butlin, was the first poet up, setting the scene with The Magicians of Edinburgh. What an excellent finale it was to the Edinburgh City of Literature “Carry a Poem” campaign. Other city organisations have also been involved in fund-raising including NHS Lothian, the University of Edinburgh, the Royal Bank of Scotland and staff within the Council. Over 20 schools across the city have used a variety of ways to help the campaign including ‘Hats for Haiti’ and ‘Pyjama Day for Haiti’ events and the donation of proceeds from school cafes. Much more is still required to support the longer-term rebuilding efforts in Haiti. Please support the appeal in any way that you can. Donations can be made at: www.mercvcorPs.org.uk/haiti or by phoning 0845 245 0686. 2 Saughton Fire A major fire at Saughton Mains on 29 January severely damaged 16 flats and resulted in 15 homes being evacuated, a mix of privately owned and Council tenancies. Residents were transported to a rest centre and provided with food, drink, clothing and essential toiletries. Many are in emergency temporary accommodation and receiving ongoing support and advice. We are currently working with residents to look at more appropriate temporary accommodation. 1 A range of Council staff responded immediately to this incident and assisted with ensuring residents received immediate support and advice. Residents cannot return home at the moment, due to the safety of the buildings and also until the possibility of danger from asbestos is resolved. A 2-phase approach will be taken to carrying out the repairs which will take approximately 1 year. Thanks to all the staff that helped deal with this emergency. 3 Innovative Finance Attracting new investment to Edinburgh is critical to the city’s sustainable economic development and lies at the heart of the Council’s strategy. To attract investment, in what are still difficult and uncertain economic conditions, the City of Edinburgh Council has been exploring options for innovative and incentivised funding mechanisms to unlock economic development in key areas of the city. Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) offers the potential to fund infrastructure delivery, driving growth and development, by capturing the “tax increment” from locally generated incremental business rates revenues that would not have arisen were it not for the delivery of enabling infrastructure. These revenues are used to meet debt repayments on the initial investment. The advantage of TIF is that it funds urban regeneration and major capital projects without raising taxes or diverting funding from other priorities. The increased local tax uplift can be re-invested in further improvements creating a virtuous cycle of wealth creation and development which invests in successful areas to expand both the local and national economy. After detailed investigation and analysis, working in collaboration with Forth Ports PLC, a pilot TIF scheme has been identified in the Leith docks area which we believe has the potential to act as a catalyst for economic development across the whole Edinburgh waterfront area. Without such investment there is a real risk that the development of Edinburgh’s waterfront could be delayed for a considerable period. A proposal will shortly be submitted to the Scottish Government. I am confident that it will be approved allowing us to take forward in partnership this progressive, ambitious and exciting pilot project which the Council and the Edinburgh business community have long campaigned for. 4 Usher Hall I was delighted to take a tour of the new wing at the Usher Hall, which is now open to the public. Despite some critics’ sour views of the extension, I believe it is a fantastic new addition to the grade A-listed building, completing the second phase of a major refurbishment of the Lothian Road concert hall. 2 The Usher Hall's refurbishment was made possible with the support of funding from the Scottish Arts Council, Cities Growth Fund, Scottish Enterprise, Heritage Lottery Fund, private donations, trusts and foundations. Since the venue reopened for last summer's Edinburgh International Festival, record audiences have enjoyed the wide variety of concerts and shows on offer. They have been enjoying greatly improved facilities including: 0 better disabled access; 0 lift access to all floors; 0 increased cloakroom and washroom facilities; and 0 new and improved bars. It also boasts a new cafe/bar, a bigger and better box office area, new hospitality spaces and re-sited and extended office accommodation. Carefully chosen art works enhance the interior. The final phase of refurbishment work is ongoing. These Public Realm landscaping works adjacent to the Usher Hall will create a pedestrianised, flexible space which will revitalise the area and lend it an appealing, 'arts quarter' ambience. This phase of works is progressing well and I look forward to seeing the end result this summer. 5 Maximising Opportunities for Learning EDGE 2010 On 25 & 26 February the Council hosted the Edge 2010 conference at Edinburgh Castle. This brought together delegates from library, information services and the media from across the UK and beyond to discuss service delivery and promoting learning, digital inclusion and general good practice. The conference also provided a platform to launch the Council's new 'virtual library' service: httD://vourlibrary.edinburqh.aov.uk/ which provides a range of online resources and services including links to the library catalogue, downloadable e-books and audio books and access to a blog, newsletter, online image library and community information. This will help the Council deliver first class library services to even more people in our communities, especially those who might not traditionally visit a library. I participated in the second day of the conference and was very impressed by the content and scope of the programme. I was also encouraged by the considerable distances that some delegates had travelled, with participants drawn from the USA and New Zealand. Citv Reads at Central Library A new project at Central Library is proving a great success in attracting new and younger audiences. The Reference Library is hosting monthly author events for audiences of up to 150 people. Writers have included lain Banks, A.L. Kennedy, James Kelman and Michel Faber. 3 In March Nobel prize winning author J M G Le Clezio will feature and in April there will be the opportunity to hear Ian Rankin on his 50th birthday. In te r-School Recycli ng Cha I I eng e As part of our efforts to boost recycling in the city, several Edinburgh Primary Schools are participating in an inter-school challenge to increase recycling in their neighbourhood. The recycling collected from the red and blue kerbside recycling boxes in the area surrounding each school will be weighed and measured. The winners will be announced in June. Duke of Edinburgh Award The numbers participating in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) has increased over the last two years. In 2007/08 over 1,000 young people took part and this has increased to over 1,200 in 2008/09. The Council has also been working with young people with additional support needs. Work in partnership with the Royal Edinburgh Hospital has allowed 24 young people with mental health issues to benefit from tailor made DofE programmes, which develop interpersonal skills and build self-confidence. There is also a programme at Castlebrae High School, encouraging pupils who are at risk from exclusion to become involved in the awards. Currently, there are 16 Edinburgh secondary schools involved in the scheme and four are in the process of joining. There are around 180 volunteer leaders. Sporting Excellence The sporting talents of young people in Edinburgh are being recognised as more achieve sporting excellence. In 2008/09 over 80% of pupils attending the Sports Academy were selected for regional or national squads. Around 90 pupils from 19 Edinburgh secondary schools attend the academy, which features badminton, basketball, cricket, cycling and football programmes. The Council is looking to extend its sports academy to primary school age children and to collaborate with independent schools. Oaklands School Oaklands School ran a fantastic ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ event for National MOVE Day. This event stuck closely to the show’s format. I am delighted that it won the British National MOVE Award. It is a well deserved tribute to the school’s high aspirations for, and expectations of, its pupils. 6 Promoting Economic Development The Economic Development Division is focussed on improving the economic performance and potential of the city. Over the last year or so it has made great strides in several areas. The Economic Development division reports: 4 Investment We have supported f326m of new private sector investment achieving more than half our target for the next three years and have supported 834 people experiencing some sort of disadvantage into work and training this year.

It's where the rich use public transport." Enrique Peñalosa, one time mayor of Bogota. The last ten years have seen achievements that Edinburgh can be proud of. We are the only city in Scotland that saw seen walking, cycling and public transport all strengthen their role between the 2001 and 2011 censuses. Edinburgh now boasts the highest share of travel to work in Scotland by each of foot, cycle and bus and the highest share in the UK for bus. We have also bucked Scottish and UK trends in car ownership; despite increasing affluence, a lower percentage of Edinburgh households owned a car in 2011 than 2001. The next five years promise to be an exciting time. We have delivered the first phase of the new Tram line, and can finally enjoy all its benefits. Transport for Edinburgh will be working to deliver increased integration and co-ordination of the wider public transport network. Edinburgh is joining the growing list of progressive UK cities putting people first through applying 20mph speed limits.

  • Edinburgh Tram Line One Environmental Statement Non
    EDINBURGH TRAM LINE ONE ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY 1. Introduction This document is the Non-Technical Summary of the Environmental Statement (ES) for the Edinburgh Tram Line One. The full ES was published in December 2003, to accompany the deposit of a private Bill before the Scottish Parliament seeking authority to build and operate Line One. Edinburgh Tram Line One is a 15½ kilometre circular tram route serving central and north Edinburgh. It forms part of a network of three routes being promoted by the City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) through transport initiatives edinburgh (tie), a company set up to deliver several major public transport schemes over the next 10 to 15 years. The ES has been prepared for Line One in accordance with the standing orders of the Scottish Parliament and determinations by the Presiding Officer, which require that projects approved by private Act of Parliament must be subject to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). EIA in Scotland is governed by the Environmental Impact Assessment (Scotland) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999 No. 1). The information presented in the ES must be taken into account by Parliament in making its decision to authorise Line One. The ES must also be made available for comment by interested parties and any comments or representations they make must additionally be taken into account. The Non-Technical Summary has been prepared for the non-specialist reader to assist in understanding the project and the main environmental issues associated with it. It provides a summary of the information presented in the full ES, in particular describing: • the design of the project and the way it will be constructed and operated; • its impacts on the physical, natural and human environment; • the measures that will be undertaken to minimise these impacts.

  • How to Fast Track Edinburgh's Trams
    HOW TO FAST TRACK EDINBURGH’S TRAMS. A STUDY OF TRANSPORT PROJECT DELIVERY PROCESSES IN LYON AND EDINBURGH WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THE SCOTTISH SYSTEM. Adam Priestley Steer Davies Gleave 1. INTRODUCTION Transport projects in France are delivered more speedily than in Scotland. When comparing project delivery in each country this statement applies to the vast majority of infrastructure projects undertaken. This includes implementation of relatively small scale measures to improve the existing transport network or service through to construction and delivery of major public transport schemes. This paper assesses the contention that elongated processes for approval and poor project management in Scotland generates negative publicity which leads to public disillusionment, which in turn creates a further barrier for effective delivery of major transport schemes. Research for the original paper was presented as the dissertation for MSc Transport Planning and Engineering at Napier University, Edinburgh. It assessed the procedures of transport delivery in Scotland and France using case studies of the tramways in Edinburgh and Lyon. The aim was to determine which aspects of the French system facilitate quicker project delivery without detracting from the validity of the process by, for example, compromising the rigour of decision-making or consultation. After briefly providing the context to each case study, this summary paper will focus on the key findings from the research and on identifying where differences between Scotland and France have been shown. This will provide some grounding from which to outline the recommendations for improving the speed and efficiency of transport project delivery in Scotland. During a time of change for the organisational structure of Scottish transport policy under the Transport (Scotland) Act 2005, the research aimed to specifically assess the roles of various organisations in project delivery in Scotland and France.

    DALRYMPLE CRESCENT A SNAPSHOT OF VICTORIAN EDINBURGH Joanne Lamb ABOUT THE BOOK A cross-section of life in Edinburgh in the 19th century: This book focuses on a street - Dalrymple Crescent - during that fascinating time. Built in the middle of the 19th century, in this one street came to live eminent men in the field of medicine, science and academia, prosperous merchants and lawyers, The Church, which played such a dominant role in lives of the Victorians, was also well represented. Here were large families and single bachelors, marriages, births and deaths, and tragedies - including murder and bankruptcy. Some residents were drawn to the capital by its booming prosperity from all parts of Scotland, while others reflected the Scottish Diaspora. This book tells the story of the building of the Crescent, and of the people who lived there; and puts it in the context of Edinburgh in the latter half of the 19th century COPYRIGHT First published in 2011 by T & J LAMB, 9 Dalrymple Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 2NU www.dcedin.co.uk This digital edition published in 2020 Text copyright © Joanne Lamb 2011 Foreword copyright © Lord Cullen 2011 All rights reserved.

  • Appointment of Chief Executive Officer
    Appointment of Chief Executive Officer LIVINGSTON JAMES 2 Contents Message from the Chair 3 Our Organisation 5 The Opportunity 8 The Role 11 Candidate Profile 15 Recruitment Process 18 3 Message from the Chair Thank you for your interest in this opportunity with Transport for Edinburgh. This is a hugely important time for public transport in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, with the new Borders Rail link, Edinburgh Airport undergoing significant passenger growth and expansion, and the new Edinburgh Gateway station at Gogar that will link passengers from the Fife line and North East Scotland to the airport, scheduled for completion in 2016. Transport for Edinburgh is central to this, and as we look to its future we are considering a long-term plan, in partnership with businesses and other key partners, which will continue to satisfy and service residents and visitors, improve transport links to the city centre and boost the local economy. Of course, Edinburgh is already a successful and competitive capital, and the city’s transport services play a vital role in that. But we must never rest on our laurels, especially as Edinburgh continues to grow in popularity as a place in which to live, work, invest, study and visit. We need to be prepared for that growth. There is work still to be done and a long way to travel but fortunately, there is much in our favour. Both bus and tram services achieved overall passenger satisfaction ratings of around 95% and impressive scores for value for money. Lothian Buses is highly valued, publicly- owned, profitable and returns an annual dividend which is invested in public services.

The maps of the AQMAs are available online at http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/airquality An AQMA is required when a pollutant fails to meet air quality standards which are set by the Scottish Government. Road traffic is by far the greatest contributor to the high concentrations of NO2 in the city. Earlier assessment work has shown that the NO2 contribution from each vehicle class is different within the AQMAs. For example, cars were shown to contribute the most at Glasgow Road AQMA, with buses having the largest impact along some routes in the Central AQMA (London Road, Gorgie Road/Chesser, Princes Street) and HGVs having a significant impact at Bernard Street. Therefore, in order to improve air quality, it will be necessary to keep all motor vehicle classes under review.
