  • Trace Fossils from Lower Palaeozoic Ocean-Floor Sediments of the Southern Uplands of Scotland M
    Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Earth Sciences, 73, 67-87, 1982 Trace fossils from Lower Palaeozoic ocean-floor sediments of the Southern Uplands of Scotland M. J. Benton ABSTRACT: The Ordovician and Silurian rocks of the Southern Uplands of Scotland have been interpreted as sediments deposited on the northern margin of the Iapetus Ocean. Trace fossils are abundant at many localities in ocean-floor turbidites and mudstones that usually lack all other evidence of life. Twelve ichnogenera are present, and they are mainly meandering locomotion and feeding trails and burrow networks: Dictyodora, Caridolites, Helminthoida, Neonereites, Nereites, Protovirgularia, Gordia, Megagrapton, Paleodictyon, Chondrites, Plano- lites and Skolithos. The trace fossils occur in at least five distinct assemblages and the composition of these was probably controlled by the frequency and nature of the turbidity currents, and possibly by the oxygen content of the mudstones. Where turbidity currents were weak, abundant Dictyodora, together with Caridolites, Neonereites, Nereites, Protovirgularia and Gordia occur in various combinations. Where currents were stronger, traces such as Gordia, Paleodictyon and Megagrapton may be exhumed and cast on turbidite soles, and the sand may contain Skolithos. The 'deep-sea' Nereites trace fossil facies is divisible into several assemblages, presumably environmentally controlled. KEY WORDS: Iapetus Ocean, ichnology, mudstone, Nereites Facies, Ordovician, shale, Silurian, turbidite. Deep-sea trace fossil assemblages of the Ordovician and 1. Geological setting Silurian are poorly known. The Lower Palaeozoic turbidites and associated mudstones of the Southern Uplands of Scot- 1.1.

Isles, Legal and Licensing Services Manager, J. Wilson, Licensing Team Leader, K. Mason, Democratic Services Officer, I. Tunnah, Licensing Standards Officer, Inspector M. Wynne, PC C. Lackenby, PC P. Robertson. ANNUAL REPORT – CHIEF CONSTABLE POLICE SCOTLAND 1, There had been circulated copies of the Annual Report by the Chief Constable, Police Scotland. The Legal and Licensing Services Manager advised that the Chief Constable had a statutory duty to provide a report to the Board on an annual basis. Inspector M. Wynne was present on behalf of the Licensing Inspector. In responding to questions raised by Councillor Weatherston in relation to protecting children from harm as had been reported in the Jedburgh and Kelso area, PC Lackenby advised that anti social behavior had been identified during the summer of 2012. This had been dealt with by local integration officers based in schools and an improvement had been seen. Police Officers agreed to keep Members informed if a similar situation arose in the future. It was noted that Test Purchasing was now intelligence led. Previously large media campaigns had made licence holders aware of when test purchases were taking place in certain towns but it was noted that it was unsustainable to carry on doing this and also the volume of test purchase failures did not merit such campaigns.

Resilient Communities is an initiative supported by local, scottish, and the UK Governments, the principles of which are, communities and individuals harnessing and developing local response and expertise to help themselves during an emergency in a way that complements the response of the emergency responders. Emergencies happen, and these can be severe weather, floods, fires, or major incidents involving transport etc. Preparing your community and your family for these types of events will make it easier to recover following the impact of an emergency. Being aware of the risks that you as a community or family may encounter, and who within your community might be able to assist you, could make your community better prepared to cope with an emergency. Local emergency responders will always have to prioritise those in greatest need during an emergency, especially where life is in danger.

The site is included in the adopted Scottish Borders Local Plan as housing alloca- tion EC6 and is 4.9 ha in size, and is expected to provide 60 housing units. The brief includes the development vision for the site and aims to lead to a high quality development. As the site is located at the edge of Clovenfords it is important that the development fits into to the surrounding countryside and reflects the small scale of the existing settlement. The brief also highlights where development contributions will be sought. The planning brief should be read in conjunction with the developer guidance in Annex A. 2 Clovenfords West Planning Brief Local context Clovenfords is located within the Central Borders, approximately 3 miles west of Galashiels and connected via the A72. This village is situated by a bridging point over the Caddon Water and is surrounded by undulating hills. This is a well connected settlement with regular bus ser- vices between Edinburgh, Peebles, Galashiels and Mel- rose.
