Regeneration. Falkirk town is the main administrative and retailing centre for the area. It has a vibrant town centre which has been popular with shoppers for its mix of the usual high street retailers and specialist shops. Like all town centres, it has suffered during the economic downturn due to the closure of major chains such as Woolworths and HMV, and vacancy rates have increased. However, it retains its position as a major shopping centre within the Scottish retail hierarchy. Throughout our area, some 5,600 people are employed in the retail sector. Partly because of recent closures of retail premises due to economic downturn, employment in this sector has fallen from over 7,400 in 2008. Over 1,000 of this reduction took place in 2010/11. Some businesses continue to show faith in our area and a new Tesco store opened in Camelon in early 2012. There is some competition from neighbouring centres such as Livingston and Stirling and new out of town centres in Glasgow and Edinburgh. The Council commissioned a retail survey as part of the Local Development Plan currently being prepared which has provided up to date information on local shopping patterns which were shown to have remained similar to those in the previous survey ten years before – in spite of the rise of internet shopping. In 2010, Falkirk Council attracted regeneration funding through its successful bid to the Scottish Government’s Town Centres Regeneration Fund to make a number of architectural and environmental improvements around Falkirk town centre and Falkirk Old and St Xxxxx’x Xxxxxx Church. A further bid for Heritage Lottery Funding to upgrade frontages within the conservation area in the Town Centre is currently being progressed. Work has been completed on the regeneration of the two of area’s district centres – Bo’ness and Stenhousemuir. The regeneration of Stenhousemuir town centre included the opening of a new library, park facilities and retail provision, including a new Asda store. The Bo’ness Townscape Heritage initiative has also been completed but the regeneration project for the harbour and foreshore has been put on hold. A masterplan for Xxxxx town centre was unveiled in early 2012 including a library. shops, a car park and a town square and the planning process has commenced. Demolition has already taken place of some of the old blocks which had to be swept away to allow the new development to take place. Initial plans for the regeneration of Grangemouth town centre have not progressed a...

Regeneration. The £1 billion Dundee Waterfront development - including the prestigious V&A Dundee visitor attraction - offers a substantial programme of construction employment across five major zones along the River Tay as incremental development of the overall project takes place over the next decade and beyond. Dundee Waterfront will also create a major boost to tourism for both Dundee and Angus with an estimated three million additional visitors to the area and £1billion of business and leisure tourism spending between 2016 and 2025. Dundee City Waterfront encompasses 240 hectares of development land stretching 8km along the River Tay. The £1 billion transformation is a strategic, forward-looking 30 year project (2001-2031) that is transforming the City of Dundee into a world leading waterfront destination for visitors and businesses through the enhancement of its physical, economic and cultural assets. Infrastructure works are well advanced and the new V&A Museum Of Design Dundee, International Centre for Design is on course to open in summer 2018. Hotels, businesses and retailers are already reaping the rewards of the ongoing city transformation while expectant of significant growth as a further 7,000+ jobs are created. The Wellgate Shopping Centre will undergo a £21m investment next year to include an eight screen cinema and food hall, now due to be completed in 2019. In 2012, leisure visitors generated over £142 million in expenditure and business tourism generated over £55 million to the local economy and this is projected to rise significantly as the Waterfront project develops. Currently in the final stage of the infrastructure project (2001-2031), the city landscape is changing at a steady pace. Most of the £1 billion investment has already been committed, many developments have been completed and many are underway. The £1 billion Dundee waterfront project spans five focussed development zones, which are strategically positioned in order to benefit from the existing city fabric and expertise. Individually each zone is important in the local economic outlook, together they are transformational. Life Sciences and Digital Media Dundee is home to one of the UK's most dynamic life science clusters with 18% of Scotland's life science companies based in Dundee and 4,000 people employed locally in the sector. Dundee is also the location of one of Europe’s most accomplished hubs for computer games and mobile digital content development. Over 3,300 people in 350 busin...

Regeneration. Our Regeneration outcomes focus on improving the support to the business and social enterprise sectors in North Lanarkshire, developing and maintaining a high quality infrastructure which attracts investment and drives economic and social regeneration, and developing Ravenscraig and our existing town centres. These local outcomes fit comfortably within National Outcomes 1 and 2. Our focus on developing strong and sustainable communities incorporates many of our priorities for the Fairer Scotland Fund programme in terms of regenerating our most disadvantaged communities and as such connects with National Outcomes 7 and 10. Local Outcome National Outcome Improved support to North Lanarkshire’s business and social enterprise sector 1, 2 High quality infrastructure which attracts investment and drives regeneration 1, 2 Development of Ravenscraig and our existing town centres as centres of economic activity 1, 2 Strong sustainable communities and more attractive places to live 1, 7, 10 Theme 2 – Lifelong Learning Our Lifelong Learning theme incorporates our commitment to learning from early years through to adult learning opportunities and recognises the importance of ensuring the provision of support to progress those most in need toward learning and training opportunities and ultimately, sustainable employment. Our lifelong learning outcomes therefore contribute largely to National Outcomes 3 and 4 with our focus on raising attainment, improving our vocational education opportunities and our commitment to adult learning. It should also be noted that we are committed to ensuring that we provide support to those young people and adults most in need to ensure they can access education, training and employment opportunities, and, as such, some local outcomes contribute to National Outcome 7, as well as 2, 5 and 8. We continue to deliver our community planning outcomes of ‘Improved curriculum and expanded vocational education opportunities’ and ‘Increased participation in alternative curricula options’, but our performance indicators for these outcomes are output-based and therefore sit ‘below the waterline’ of this Agreement.

Regeneration. Successful regeneration of forest cover including commercial species and maintenance of biodiversity is of fundamental importance in sustainable forest management. It is a legal requirement under the Forest Practices Code 2000 to successfully regenerate forest after harvesting, o All techniques will take account of how much tree cover is to be removed, what site preparation is required to promote growth and what will be the source of new growth i.e. seed, nursery plants or advance growth of seedling, coppice or lignotuberous origin. o Where a stand has less than 20 live trees per hectare over 10m tall remaining, the coupe shall be mapped as stocked or have 65% of 16m2 plots stocked and no understocked patch shall exceed 1 ha in size nor should the total understocked area exceed 20% of the coupe. Forest Practices Code 2000 While this is a trial to establish new silvicultural treatments it remains subject to the requirements of the Forest Practices Code. It is important to remember that the Warra Trials are about finding alternatives to cleafell burn and sow silvicultural in wet eucalypt forests, the successful regeneration of eucalypts is a priority. The Warra 8G trial design provides Productivity The productivity achieved was one of the highest in the Warra Trial, and three times higher than that at the original SGS coupe. o 2186 tonnes or m3 harvested o 4.5 ha or approximately 15% of the coupe o 20 working days to complete Xxxxxxx 2006 A number of factors contributed to the improved productivity, including the design of the operation, moving from the focus on single tree selection to fairways and groups, previous experience of the contractors and forest structure with a large volume of regrowth eucalypt and less dangerous old growth stems. Many of the smaller regrowth trees were pushed, with the root ball then being cut from the trunk. This provided a further productivity gain.
