There is a lot of complete nonsense being spun in the media today about the alleged refusal of Scotland to contribute to the financial support of the Royal family. Front page splashes on the Times and the Telegraph has been gleefully picked up by broadcasters and others. The population  has now been led to believe that Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish Government are somehow snubbing the Queen and refusing to pay a fair share of the costs of maintaining her in the style to which she is accustomed,

We have been here before.

Last December, the journalist Hamish Macdonnell spun stories in the Daily Mail and the Spectator. I debunked them here.

So what are the facts?

The Crown Estate is public land and the Crown Estate Commissioners a statutory corporation responsible for managing the Crown Estate. The net revenues from the Crown Estate are public revenues which are currently paid to HM Treasury.

The Royal Family is financed by through a Sovereign Grant established under the Sovereign Grant Act 2011. Section 1 of the Act provides that the Grant is paid by the Treasury each year from funds voted by Parliament (the UK Parliament).

The Scottish Government has no responsibility whatsoever to provide any funding for the Royal Family since it is a reserved matter. Scottish taxpayers pay towards the Sovereign Grant in the same way as they contribute to all areas of reserved expenditure.

The sum of money comprising the Grant is calculated by reference to the net surplus revenue paid to the Treasury by the Crown Estate Commissioners. The first step in the calculation (Section 6 of the Act) is to calculate 15% of the revenue in the financial year two years prior.

The money is not paid directly from the net Crown Estate revenues. That would be illegal. The Crown Estate revenues are merely used as a reference point. Other reference points could (and should have) been used.

I suggested at the time the Bill was rushed through Parliament (see here and here) that the profits of the Stilton cheese industry might be a candidate. Ian Davidson MP suggested GDP. George Osborne himself said “I completely accept that I could have brought other mechanisms before the House, but the Crown Estate is a large commercial property company that is run in a pretty conservative way. It is not a bad proxy for how the country and the economy are doing.”

With the proposed devolution of the management and revenues of the Crown Estate in Scotland the net profits remitted to the Treasury will shrink slighty from any given base and thus the 15% will reduce very slightly (Scotland only contributes around 3% of the net revenue).

The UK Parliament and the Treasury are free at any time to alter the formula and the Smith Commission recognised that it might be necessary. Indeed, a statutory review is due in April 2016. The problem they have at the moment is in fact that the Sovereign grant has grown faster than expected due to the London property market and George Osborne and the Royal Trustees are busy negotiating a reduction in the Grant.

The Palace official who briefed the media would, in a more distant age, probably have been taken out and shot. Quite why the Palace wants to pick an entirely unfounded and counter-productive attack on the Scottish Government is not clear.

Meanwhile, confusion reigns at precisely the moment when, with the Scotland Bill being debate in Parliament, we need calm negotiation.

UPDATE 2130

Buckingham Palace has released a statement as follows.

“Sir Alan Reid Keeper of the Privy Purse said today: “Yesterday’s media briefing on the Sovereign Grant report 2014-15 was intended to highlight some of the issues that may arise when the first review of the Sovereign Grant begins in April next year. The comments and observations were about a principle and never intended to be a criticism of Scotland or of the First Minister or to suggest that the First Minister had cast doubt on the continued funding of the Monarchy.

The principle is about what happens if profits from certain Crown Estate assets, such as those in Scotland, are not paid to the Treasury and the impact that may have on the calculation of the Sovereign Grant in future years. This question will form part of next year’s review.

As we made clear at the briefing, Scotland contributes in many ways to the Treasury’s consolidated fund – out of which the Sovereign Grant is paid. We said explicitly that to imply Scotland would not pay for the Monarchy was simply wrong and we accept unreservedly the assurances of the Scottish Government that the Sovereign Grant will not be cut as a result of devolution of the Crown Estate.”

The recently published national litter strategy, Towards a litter free Scotland, makes clear that prevention is a key focus and aims to encourage personal responsibility and reduce the need for expensive clean-up and enforcement.

Zero Waste Scotland commissioned Eunomia Research and Consulting to research ways in which community level activities can best be developed and supported to bring about litter prevention.

The approaches researched which were believed, based on practitioner experience, to have the most potential to prevent littering, were grouped into five ‘options’ as a way of presenting the findings and discussing future considerations for community level litter prevention. The options are not discrete entities but can be combined or used in succession. These, in no particular order, are:

•             Option 1: Litter Pick PLUS – clean-ups designed to maximise the litter prevention impacts;

•             Option 2: Community campaigns;

•             Option 3: Monitoring and citizen science;

•             Option 4: Incentives – used to motivate behaviour change;

•             Option 5: Wider community approaches,including

o             Option 5a: Community green space and street improvements – re-purposing sites for community use as green spaces; and

o             Option 5b: Wider community building – to develop a sense of civic pride leading to litter prevention effects.

A fund for Third Sector community based litter prevention projects is now open for applications.

The grant fund is to support Third Sector organisations to trial community based options for litter prevention activity. Learning captured from the projects funded will contribute to the establishment of best practice for community led approaches, supporting community action at a local level.

Citizen Income is the best solution to the injustices of our current tax and benefit system; but as Abba Eban once said, “Men and nations behave wisely when they have exhausted all other resources.” So, it may be some time before we are ready to recognise the folly of our current system and the wickedness of what the current Government is trying to pass off as ‘welfare reform’. However the fact that the Green Party has included the idea of Citizen Income in its 2015 manifesto is certainly a hopeful sign.

In essence the idea is very simple: replace the current mess of benefits, tax credits and allowances with one simple system where each individual receives an unconditional income. It is like getting £200 every time you pass Go.

This idea seems radical to some, impossible to others, but its benefits could be enormous. The Centre for Welfare Reform is committed to promoting Citizen Income and so, in order to encourage debate I thought I’d provide a summary of its main benefits. Here are my top twenty reasons to love Citizen Income.

1. Justice – Each of us has a basic right to exist. Citizen Income gives each of us enough to live on.

2. To Hell with Poverty – Citizen Income directly attacks poverty, by establishing the highest feasible minimum income.

3. Simple – The current benefit system is so complex that about £17 billion goes unclaimed because people don’t know what they are entitled to receive.

4. Affordable – The funding necessary for Citizen income is already being spent on benefits, pensions, tax credits or hidden inside tax allowances.

5. Cheap – The current system is incredibly complex and expensive to administer.

6. Rational – The current system is so complex that even the people running it don’t understand it. The DWP even claimed it was impossible to calculate the impact of their policy changes on disabled people. This makes rational policy-making impossible.

7. Universal – We all need income security and we all need to remember that we are one community – bound together by common rights and duties.

8. Respectful – The current system is shaming for people who need benefits, damaging human dignity and also increasing social division.

9. Liberating – Citizen Income frees people from a whole range of poverty traps that make it harder for people to earn, save, form a family or take risks. Strong foundations enable people to do more for themselves and others.

10. Adaptable – Citizen income can be adjusted to transparently reflect the differences in age or disability that may be relevant to income.

11. Secure – Ultimately the only real securities on earth are the ones we give each other. Citizen Income commits us to work together to ensure everyone has their basic needs secured.

12. Living Wage – Better wages will come when people are not forced by fear and destitution into the labour market.

13. Family – Giving a citizen income to each parent and recognising the work of parents who care for their children or other relatives makes for strong families.

14. Community – Citizen Income makes it easier for people to contribute to their communities in ways that make sense. Volunteering, neighbourliness and community development all become easier.

15. Capacity – In order to win a modest increase in income many disabled people are forced through pointless or harmful hoops – all to prove they ‘cannot work’. This whole inept system could be swept away.

16. Business – Currently Government tries to increase employment by a schemes and incentives which merely increase bureaucracy and reduce efficiency. Citizen Income lets people set up their own business or strike their own deals with employers.

17. Creative – Too many people are not making the most of their skills and gifts for fear of losing a job they hate. Citizen Income could unleash human creativity.

18. Sustainable – The fundamental failure of the current economic system is that it creates and distributes new money via banks through the creation of debt. Citizen Income is democratic Keynesianism – money goes to people, not banks.

19. Global – There is a global movement for Citizen Income which will also help restore global justice and enable the spread of effective human rights around the world.

20. Scrap the DWP – Integrating the tax and benefit system means that we can finally close down the worst Government department in Whitehall – the Department of Work and Pensions.

In time Citizen income will seems as natural and right as the NHS or a free school education. It is an idea whose time has come and anyone interested in making society better must pay it attention.

A project that last year encouraged over 400,000 Scottish people to share lunch with their neighbours has been awarded Scottish Government funding to help more communities be involved in this year’s events.

Big Lunch Scotland will receive almost £50,000 to give communities the chance to apply for a grant that could go towards food, insurance, outdoor games or furniture to host their own get-together.

From now until September, communities who may have faced barriers to taking part in the past will be able to apply for grants of up to £150.

The Big Lunch is the Eden Project’s annual UK-wide event aimed at building community spirit and getting neighbours talking. While events kick off on June 7, communities are encouraged to run events throughout the summer.

In addition, the Scottish Government funding will also offer grants of up to £500 to help support participants of the Big Lunch Extra Programme develop ideas in their community such as cookery classes, babysitting services or community cinemas.

Minister for Community Empowerment Marco Biagi met with Edinburgh and Midlothian Big Lunch organisers and their neighbours to officially open the new funding schemes.

He said: “Around 400,000 Scottish people – including me – took part in The Big Lunch last year, and I hope the Scottish Government’s funding boost of nearly £50,000 will make it possible for even more people to take part over the summer.

“We’re often guilty of not making enough time to get to know the people who live next door to us, never mind the ones who live down the street. The Big Lunch is a simple way to reconnect with our neighbours and is having a powerful impact on communities.

“From the people I’ve met who have attended Big Lunches in the past it’s clear to see the benefits of this annual event. People feel more involved their community, they have a stronger sense of community spirit and they feel less isolated.

“The Scottish Government recognises the importance of empowering communities and giving them the confidence to shape their own futures. These grants will remove financial barriers and will make sure everyone has an opportunity to be involved in The Big Lunch.”

Feedback from the 2014 Big Lunch found that 97 per cent of people who took part would recommend the event to their friends, and 84 per cent said it made them feel better about their neighbourhood.

Emily Watts, Campaign Manager for The Big Lunch in Scotland, said: “We always say that you don’t need much money to hold a Big lunch when everyone brings something to the table and that is still true – but there are times when a small amount of help can mean the difference between your community getting involved and not.

“To be eligible you need to be able to tell us how you would use the grant to enable your community or street to take part, and what barriers it would help to overcome. For existing Big Lunch participants, you must be able to tell us how you will engage a new section of the community with the grant.”

Central Scotland locals and community groups are being encouraged to put their allotments, orchards and community gardens on the map, by taking part in an online survey.

Europe’s largest greenspace initiative, the Central Scotland Green Network (CSGN), is conducting the research to map community growing spaces across the central belt.

Participants will be able to trace the boundary and entrances of their growing spaces, as well as answering a few questions about the places they grow in, such as the numbers of trees or plots.

The data will be used to identify the size and distribution of these vital resources and campaign for improvements for the benefit of local communities.

Keith Geddes, Chair of the CSGN, said: “Encouraging community growing is central to the CSGN vision of creating an environment which supports healthy lifestyles and good mental and physical well-being.

“This groundbreaking research will support our work in increasing the area of land used by communities for growing plants, fruit and vegetables and I would encourage locals in Central Scotland to take part in the survey.”

The CSGN is Europe’s largest greenspace initiative which seeks to transform Central Scotland into a place where the environment adds value to the economy and where people’s lives are enriched by its quality.

As one of the Scottish Government’s national developments for Scotland in the third National Planning Framework, the CSGN is changing the face of Central Scotland, by restoring, transforming and greening the landscape of an area stretching from Ayrshire and Inverclyde in the west, to Fife and the Lothians in the east.

The CSGN encompasses 19 local authorities across 10,000 sq km and has the potential to benefit 3.5million people, equating to 70 per cent of Scotland’s population.

The survey runs until 30th June 2015. It takes a few minutes to complete and the information will be used to increase the number and quality of community growing spaces across the region. The findings will be collated into a report which will be made available on the CSGN website.

Across the country groups are achieving remarkable things in their communities, a fact Local People Leading readers will know more than most.

This Community Empowerment (Scotland) Bill, which reaches Stage 3 in Parliament today, will take this one step further. By giving communities the powers and confidence to shape their own futures we can address inequalities more effectively.

The Bill will make it easier for communities to take control of land and property, and will provide a new right for communities to request to own, lease, use or manage land owned by the public sector.

It will also extend the community right to buy to the whole of Scotland, removing the restriction to rural areas, and will introduce a community right to buy neglected or abandoned land – even if there is no willing seller. 

Blight sites which have been an eyesore to communities for years could be brought back to life through the bill.

One of the rights I’m particularly excited for Scottish Community Alliance supporters to get involved with is the participation request. This means if you are a representative group for the community and you have an idea of how you can make your area better, you gain rights to be involved at the outset with the public body responsible for delivering that service. You could be in discussions with the council, the police, the health board – any public body in a devolved area. It means a place at the table in the earliest stage. 

There’s a massive difference between communities being asked for comment on ideas others have come up with, and communities being involved from the start in conceiving them. That’s what we want to see across the public sector.

The Community Empowerment Bill makes that right of community participation absolutely clear.

The Bill covers a range of issues but what underpins them all is that if you’ve got an idea, we want to help you make it happen.

Following approval in Parliament, I look forward to working with the Scottish Community Alliance and meeting more of the innovative groups who can bring the bill to life.

Together we need to make sure that the spirit of participation goes beyond Parliament and reaches out to every part of the country.

INITIAL NOTE ON SCOTLAND’S EU STRUCTURAL FUNDS

AND SCOTTISH RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

A)   ABOUT THIS NOTE

Information provided in this Note is provided on a “need to know” basis, seeks to avoid Euro jargon, and is based on available sources as indicated.

This Note is provided with a “health warning” since Programmes and their delivery arrangements are evolving rapidly. An EU Funds Update will appear regularly in the Senscot Bulletin.

Since this Note gives advance information about funding developments, some of which may not yet have been officially announced, those organisations seeking to make initial progress should take note of actions recommended in this colour.

An EU Funds Masterclass will be held at 1000 in the Teacher Building, St Enoch Square, Glasgow on Friday 26 June 2015. You can register here for this.

B)   BACKGROUND – SCOTLAND’S EU FUNDS WITHIN UK PROGRAMME

The European Union has a Common Strategic Framework for its 2014-2020 Funding Programmes – the European Union Structural and Investment Funds, designed to bring about social, economic and territorial cohesion across the EU:

•             European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and European Social Fund (ESF) – €11bn for the UK

•             European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) – €5.2bn for the UK

•             European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) – €243mn for the UK

Though Scotland has its own Managing Authority, Structural Funds in Scotland are administered as a Scottish Chapter of the UK National Partnership Agreement, as adopted by the European Commission on Wednesday 29 October 2014.

This note focuses on those parts of ERDF, ESF and the Scottish Rural Development Programme (SRDP) of most interest to organisations and associates of Senscot, Social Firms Scotland, Development Trusts Association Scotland and Scottish Community Alliance.  Where available, funding allocations to Scotland are taken from the Scottish Chapter of the UK Programme and allocated more specifically below where possible. More funding projections will be available in future EU Funds Updates.

C)   SCOTTISH STRUCTURAL FUNDS PROGRAMME 2014-2020

1)    Strategic Intervention Leads

In contrast to the centralised approach adopted for the two 2007-2013 Scottish Lowland and Uplands and Highlands and Islands EU Programmes, which were administered by two separate bodies, Scottish Structural Fund Programmes for 2014-2020 (ERDF and ESF) will be delivered through 14 different Strategic Intervention Lead Partners, each with a focus on which funds will be targeted, managed and co-financed to create transformational change and benefits.

This is a list of contacts for Lead Partner Organisations, including Local Councils. Many of these may not yet be in a position to provide potential applicants with further information at this stage.

2)    Details of Strategic Intervention Leads

These are details of ERDF Strategic Intervention Leads, which are not under the heading of Promoting Social Inclusion, Combating Poverty and any Discrimination which are included in the box below. Funding estimates are based on Scottish Chapter of UK National Partnership Agreement with the EU Commission and allocated where possible.

The contents of this box, which feature ESF Strategic Intervention Leads, are probably of most interest to members concerned.

Promoting Social Inclusion, Combating Poverty and any Discrimination – €89mn ESF to be delivered by Scottish Government, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Partners.

This Scottish Government diagram shows how the 5 Social Inclusion Strategic Objectives below fit together and how these will be delivered.  These are the 5 Strategic Objectives:

Strategic Objective 21 – Financial Inclusion Programme, delivered through Big Lottery.

Big Lottery has announced a programme of awareness raising events in 5 chosen Financial Inclusion areas – Argyll and Bute, Dundee, Glasgow, Inverclyde and North Ayrshire. Further details as they become available will be posted in the EU Funds Update in the Senscot Bulletin. Big Lottery is seeking projects which should deliver:

•             a step change in financial inclusion in 5 areas

•             innovations in affordable credit, debt advice, money management skills etc

•             proposing a service delivery contract in each area that joins up what’s there, adds to it and innovates, including consortium bids

Bids might include:

•             Tailored action plans

•             Provision of financial and debt advice

•             Provision of fuel/energy advice

•             Set-up of first-steps banking services and credit unions

Big Lottery has so far issued a Tender Prior Information Notice as part of its tendering guidance. Interested organisations are invited to complete a short Questionnaire for 12 noon on Monday 06 July 2015.

Since these applications don’t have to be led by a public sector body, Senscot Partner organisations would like to explore a consortium bid. If your organisation might be interested in a partnership or consortium bid, can you please e mail Leslie Huckfield:les@huckfield.com

Strategic Objective 22 – Enhanced Employability Pipelines. Further details are provided here. Please refer to local authority contacts above. €170mn ESF is to be delivered by 32 Local Authorities. Five have already advertised for tendering or Expressions of Interest on Public Contracts Scotland. Further details about Employability Projects will be provided here as they become available.  This is the Note on Enhanced Employability Pipelines from Scottish Local Authorities Economic Development Group. If your organisation is interested, it’s probably a good idea to make contact with your local authority contact and register your interest. It’s also a good idea, if you’ve not already done do, to become more familiar with the main features of the Scottish Government’s Employability Pipeline.

Strategic Objective 23 – Disadvantaged Communities to develop long term solutions to increase active inclusion and reduce poverty.  Scottish Government is currently working how this will be delivered and information will be made available as soon as possible.

Strategic Objective 24 – Increase the Sustainability and Capacity of the Social Economy to deliver support to the most disadvantaged areas and groups.  Scottish Government is currently working how this will be delivered and information will be made available as soon as possible.  Senscot, SFS and DTAS are already working on proposals for new Networks and Consortia under this Strategic Objective and will be in touch with those interested.

Strategic Objective 25 – Support and Encourage Social Innovation and Solutions.Scottish Government is currently working how this will be delivered and information will be made available as soon as possible.

•             Youth Employment Initiative. This is a separate ESF initiative with €46.30mn matched by an amount from mainstream ESF, for NEETS aged 16 to 29. YEI is administered through Scottish Funding Council and 12 local authorities to focus on employer recruitment. Much of this will be delivered as a wage subsidy scheme and interested organisations might offer subsidised placements. YEI has two outcomes – sustained employment or entry onto and progress through accredited qualification. This initiative covers South Western Scotland and includes part of Argyll and Bute, Dumfries and Galloway, East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Glasgow City, Inverclyde, most of North Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire.  The Lead Partners’ Contact List above includes some Local Authority YEI contacts, with whom interested organisations should be in touch. Because of slow takeup difficulties, since Leslie Huckfield has been in touch with local authority and EU Commission officials, he would be pleased to hear from members on this at les@huckfield.com.

D)   SCOTTISH RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (SRDP)

•             The SRDP will be delivered through a number of schemes, not all of which are directly farming related. Schemes shown below are of more interest to members. Provisional funding estimates shown are fromScottish Rural Development Programme Guide, September 2014 and Scottish Government Rural Payments and Services:

•             Agri-Environment Climate Scheme – £350mn This Scheme includes preserving historic environment and improving public access. There was a short initial bidding round from mid March till May 29 2015. Details of the next bidding round will be shown here as soon as information becomes available.

•             Rural Broadband – £9mn to be managed by Community Broadband Scotland for community projects to create, improve and extend superfast broadband infrastructure in remote and rural Scotland

•             Environmental Co-operation Action Fund – £10mn for facilitation of cooperative projects where there is multiple landowning

•             Food Processing, Marketing and Co-operation £70mn to support development, including facilities, marketing and cooperative ventures

•             Forestry Grant Scheme – £252mn for creation of new and management of existing woodlands. This Scheme to be processed through Forestry Commission Scotland.

•             Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Fund – £10mn (this is new to SRDP) may include operational groups and include vocational training, coaching, workshops and visits. Further investigation is needed on degree of relationship to actual farming practices.

•             LEADER. A budget of £86mn, with Scottish Chapter or UK Partnership Agreement showing €51mn earmarked for Social Inclusion. 20 LEADER Local Action Groups are currently devising their local strategies. Previous projects have included community account management, cultural events, museums, footpaths, landscape activities, skills, employment and broadband – now extended to include Farm Diversification. Each Local Action Group (LAG) has received allocations of funding for local community development projects and for Farm and Rural Diversification (this is new for LEADER) and for cooperation.

Today we’re launching a search for 21 Stories for COP21.  We’d like you to tell us what you’re accomplishing, and we’ll share it with the world.  In December, world leaders meet in Paris to negotiate a climate treaty.  Transition Network is going to celebrate the remarkable thing Transition has become. A quiet revolution is happening, and gathering pace.  We plan to create a booklet, in many languages, telling the story of 21 diverse and amazing stories, as well as celebrating many more on our website over the next few months.  We need your help.  Let us tell your story.  

They can be large or small, they can be stories of a project or a process, a partnership that really worked, or a group that really made things happen.  They could be stories of new community gardens created, events that had impact, imaginative ways of saving energy, of people connecting, learning and having fun together. They could be about stuff that was built, or relationships strengthened, things that increased the sense of resilience and well-being in your area. What would you like our representatives at COP21 to hear, stories that show that a positive way of living with less is already happening?  With your help we can infuse COP21 with a sense of what’s possible.

We’ve created a simple form, it’ll take you a couple of minutes.  You can share them in your own language, we’ll translate.  Please share your stories and tell the world.  We need them by June 21st … thank you so much!

WIPE

WIPE is a group of independent artists, creative practitioners, urbanists, activists and others who like to work collaboratively to improve urban environments, support communities, and make better use of public spaces and vacant sites through creative and temporary projects.

£100k Bond

The previous developers placed £100k bond as a guarantee against the prospect of the gap site at New Street creating urban blight. WIPE are asking for that money to be transferred to the community as compensation for having to live with this gap site over many years. They would also ask that WIPE be given premises from which to operate so that they can more effectively act as a link between the developer and the wider community.The local perspective is that the planning conditions and agreements that have been made with the developers are completely ineffective in managing and controllingthis development.

Most recent update

The buildings being demolished just now include the listed historic community building (The Old Sailors Ark) and the social housing (McRae flats) to provide the third hotel on site on the Royal Mile. Residents are not being kept informed of progress or phasing making living here really hard as roads get closed and building work continues over weekends and evenings without neighbours being given any notification.

The developers are now gearing up their marketing strategy to get the Arches filled with bars and cafes prepared to pay  high rents (£10K – £25K an arch) despite local businesses, organisations and residents wanting to utilise them as workshops and studios.  The developers acquired these arches on a 125 year pepercorn rent from the council on the grounds that the whole development (Caltongate) wouldnt stack up if they had to pay full market rent to take them over and redevelop them as artist studios. No sign of the community spaces or affordable Class 4 business space which would be retained/provided either, so far just the hotels being developed and now turning to focus on creating more high rent retail space for bars and cafes in the Arches.
