To ask the Scottish Executive what consideration it has given to further reform of local government. 22 Jan 2003 · General Question

To ask the Scottish Executive what consideration it has given to further reform of local government.

Answer · Andy Kerr · 30 Jan 2003

We are committed to strengthening local governance and improving public services and are bringing forward a number of measures to achieve this. The Local Government in Scotland Bill, approved by Parliament earlier this month, places local authorities at the heart of community planning, replaces CCT with Best Value and gives local authorities the power of well-being. We will also be publishing a Local Governance Bill before the end of this parliamentary session which will seek to improve the governance of our local authorities.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether #27 million was made available to fund implementation of Part 1 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001, as referred to by Mr Jack McConnell in his answer to question S1F-1518 on 20 December 2001; if so, how this money was allocated, how much was allocated to each local authority and what the reasons were for each allocation and how each local authority has spent its allocation.

Answer · Des McNulty · 24 Jan 2003

£27 million was made available to local authorities to assist with implementation of Part 1 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 (homelessness provisions). Specifically local authorities are required to apply the funding to increase the provision of temporary accommodation; to increase and improve the provision of advice and assistance, and to develop and deliver local homelessness strategies. Funding was allocated over three years, from 2001-02 to 2003-04. The table sets out the allocations to each local authority. The funding was allocated according to a formula, agreed with COSLA, based on the level of homeless applications receive by each authority. A small amount of funding was retained for later allocation (as agreed with COSLA) following councils' further assessment of need.Based on the guidelines given about the purposes of the funding, local authorities have drawn up local outcome agreements which set out the outcomes authorities expect to achieve. These outcomes are all in line with the purposes set out above.<TABLE BORDER CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=7 WIDTH=491><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">Local Authority</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">2001-02</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">2002-03</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">2003-04</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">Total</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">Aberdeen City</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">105,200</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">424,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">390,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">919,200</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">Aberdeenshire</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">88,900</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">356,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">330,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">774,900</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">Angus</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">88,900</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">356,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">395,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">839,900</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">Argyll and Bute</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">56,300</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">219,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">210,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">485,300</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">Clackmannanshire</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">72,600</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">275,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">298,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">645,600</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">Dumfries and Galloway</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">88,900</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">356,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">330,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">774,900</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">Dundee</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">88,900</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">287,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">270,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">645,900</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">East Ayrshire</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">72,600</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">287,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">270,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">629,600</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">East Dunbartonshire</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">56,300</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">219,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">210,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">485,300</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">East Lothian</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">72,600</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">310,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">320,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">702,600</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">East Renfrewshire</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">50,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">219,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">210,000</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP">479,000</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="33%" VALIGN="TOP">Edinburgh</TD><TD WIDTH="15%" VALIGN="TOP">235,600</TD><
