I USE OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACES AS CIVIL MARRIAGE VENUES<br />
There was submitted Agenda Note AN160-2005 informing <strong>the</strong> Committee that under <strong>the</strong> Marriage<br />
(Approval <strong>of</strong> Places) (Scotland) Regulations 2002, local authorities could register a wide range <strong>of</strong><br />
venues as Civil Marriage venues. <strong>Dundee</strong> had 18 such <strong>of</strong>ficially licensed/designated venues. The<br />
object <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> legislation was to increase <strong>the</strong> choice <strong>of</strong> venues available to couples planning a Civil<br />
Marriage and statistics showed that <strong>the</strong>re had been an increase in <strong>the</strong> numbers <strong>of</strong> Civil Marriages held<br />
in <strong>Dundee</strong> since <strong>the</strong> 2002 Act.<br />
A request had been received for permission for a marriage ceremony to be held on <strong>Dundee</strong> Law and it<br />
was proposed that <strong>the</strong> Law and o<strong>the</strong>r park/open space venues be designated as Civil Marriage<br />
venues. Locations in <strong>Council</strong> ownership could be so designated simply by notifying <strong>the</strong> Registrar<br />
General for Scotland. It would still be necessary for couples to obtain <strong>the</strong> permission <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Dundee</strong><br />
Contract Services Committee, so that, for example, account could be taken <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r events on <strong>the</strong><br />
same dates etc. Venues which would prove attractive for this purpose included <strong>Dundee</strong> Law,<br />
Camperdown Park, Templeton Woods etc and it was recommended that authority be granted for <strong>the</strong><br />
Director to decide on any o<strong>the</strong>r locations to be so designated in liaison with <strong>the</strong> Depute Chief<br />
Executive (Support Services).<br />
The Committee approved <strong>the</strong> above and agreed that <strong>the</strong> granting/refusing <strong>of</strong> future requests for use <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>se locations be delegated to <strong>the</strong> Director or nominee and that <strong>the</strong> Scheme <strong>of</strong> Delegated Powers be<br />
amended accordingly.<br />

management systems and delivery <strong>of</strong> community learning and development (CLD) in <strong>Dundee</strong> Central<br />
and Kirkton areas over <strong>the</strong> first two weeks in December 2004.<br />
Community learning and development was targeted at those individuals and groups in society who<br />
were more likely to experience disadvantage. As part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> inspection, HMIe looked specifically at<br />
<strong>the</strong> Department's delivery in respect <strong>of</strong> equality and diversity and had made favourable comment on<br />
this.<br />
The Committee approved <strong>the</strong> following recommendations:-<br />
(a) to note <strong>the</strong> positive feedback from HMIe on <strong>the</strong> delivery <strong>of</strong> community learning and<br />
development by <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Council</strong>'s Communities Department. Since <strong>the</strong> introduction <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> current inspection framework for community learning and development work in<br />
Scotland, no o<strong>the</strong>r authority had had a report with all indicators scoring ei<strong>the</strong>r good or<br />
very good (see Appendix 1 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Report);<br />
(b) to note that HMIe had identified a number <strong>of</strong> areas for continuous improvement - <strong>the</strong><br />
most significant relating to community provision in <strong>the</strong> Hilltown; and<br />

up inspection.

object <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> legislation was to increase <strong>the</strong> choice <strong>of</strong> venues available to couples planning a Civil<br />
Marriage and statistics showed that <strong>the</strong>re had been an increase in <strong>the</strong> numbers <strong>of</strong> Civil Marriages held<br />
in <strong>Dundee</strong> since <strong>the</strong> 2002 Act.<br />
A request had been received for permission for a marriage ceremony to be held on <strong>Dundee</strong> Law and it<br />
was proposed that <strong>the</strong> Law and o<strong>the</strong>r park/open space venues be designated as Civil Marriage<br />
venues. Locations in <strong>Council</strong> ownership could be so designated simply by notifying <strong>the</strong> Registrar<br />
General for Scotland. It would still be necessary for couples to obtain <strong>the</strong> permission <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Dundee</strong><br />
Contract Services Committee, so that, for example, account could be taken <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r events on <strong>the</strong><br />
same dates etc. Venues which would prove attractive for this purpose included <strong>Dundee</strong> Law,<br />
Camperdown Park, Templeton Woods etc and it was recommended that authority be granted for <strong>the</strong><br />
Director to decide on any o<strong>the</strong>r locations to be so designated in liaison with <strong>the</strong> Depute Chief<br />
Executive (Support Services).<br />
The Committee approved <strong>the</strong> above and agreed that <strong>the</strong> granting/refusing <strong>of</strong> future requests for use <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>se locations be delegated to <strong>the</strong> Director or nominee and that <strong>the</strong> Scheme <strong>of</strong> Delegated Powers be<br />
amended accordingly.
