Public Partnership Forum (Clackmannanshire PPF)
The PPF is the way we, the members of the public, engage with the NHS and it meets every two months in Alloa, in the Whins Resource centre.
This is the best opportunity for the general public to interact with the decision-making process. Your opinions are listened to, healthy discussions take place, and changes can be made.
In 2005 the NHS Board set up the Clackmannanshire Community Health Partnership (CHP), a legally constituted entity, to involve the public, voluntary organisations, local authorities and health services in securing a healthier future for local communities. - Ed.

SEPA (Scottish Environment Protection Agency)

Link to a larger version
SEPA is responsible to the Scottish Government for protecting, monitoring and improving Scotland's air, land and water.
Among its activities, SEPA operates a flood warning service.
In January 2011, SEPA issued a 'Flood Watch' and then raised it to a 'Flood Warning' several hours before the River Devon overflowed its banks (image on this page). Flood water from the river had previously approached the southern edge of the village; for example in November 2008 and November 2009. None of these flood events reached houses in the village.
SEPA operate the Floodline Direct service which will send flood update messages, text or voice, direct to your phone. To sign up for this service and to be added to the mailing list for future newsletters, complete the enquiry form at this link.

A statutory timetable of updates (monthly between 1st December & 1st September each year) is published on the ERO's website. Application forms are available to download from the website and are also available in the local library.
When an election is announced electors only have until 11 working days before polling day to return completed and signed voter registration forms and/or applications to vote by post. Forms are available in the local library or from the website.
