Boundaries of Primary School Catchment Areas in Argyll and Bute, including denominational (Roman Catholic) Primary Schools

Administrative Areas used by Argyll and Bute Council for administering services. The council area is divided into four administrative areas: Bute and Cowal; Helensburgh and Lomond; Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands; Oban, Lorn and the Isles

Geographical subdivision of an electoral area such as an Electoral Ward within which a polling place is designated. The Representation of the People Act 1983 places a duty on LA to divide the local authority area into polling districts based on ward boundaries, and to designate a polling place for each district. LAs also have a duty to keep these polling arrangements under review. The Electoral Administration Act 2006 introduced amendments to the 1983 Act (which in turn has been superseded by The Electoral Administration Act 2013). Now local authorities must conduct a full review (with public consultation) of its polling districts and polling places every four years, however adjustments to the boundaries of polling districts and the designation of polling places within LA wards can be proposed at any time in response to changes in ward boundaries or to the availability of premises that can be reasonably designated as polling places

A ‘polling place’ is defined as the building or area in which a polling station will be located. A ‘polling station’ is the room or area within the polling place where voting takes place

Community councils are required to be established by local authorities. They are the most local tier of statutory representation in Scotland. They bridge the gap between local authorities and communities and help to make public bodies aware of the opinions and needs of the communities they represent. Community councils are statutory consultees under various processes, such as for planning applications. There are many instances where polygons do not tessellate or snap to local authority boundaries. The Spatial Hub processing can correct for some minor gap errors (<5m) but not larger ones. Such gaps in the dataset mean that it cannot potentially be used for some kinds of spatial analysis e.g. point in polygon, because some point locations may fall within the gaps. These gaps either require amendment at source or approval for the IS to change.

A Polling Place is the building or area in which polling stations are contained. Local Authorities designate polling places by virtue of Section 18B of The Representation of the People Act 1983 and are reviewed every 5 years along with the Polling Districts. A polling station is the room or area within the polling place where voting takes place. Polling Stations are chosen by the Returning Officer under the election rules for that particular election.

Im Kartendienst Seegrenzen werden die seewärtigen Begrenzungen der ausschließlichen Wirtschaftszone (AWZ), des Küstenmeeres und die Basislinien dargestellt. Es handelt sich um verdichtete Koordinaten der Seegrenzkarten 2920 (Nordsee) und 2921 (Ostsee). Es sind auf geodätische Linien verdichtete (interpolierte) Koordinaten. Der Abstand der Knotenpunkte auf den geodätischen Verbindungslinien der festgelegten Grenzpunkte ist kleiner gleich 100 m. Die Seegrenzen Deutschlands wurden in dem heute nicht mehr üblichen Koordinatensystem Europäisches Datum 1950 (ED50) proklamiert. Grundlage dieser Festlegung sind insbesondere die Bekanntmachung der Proklamation der Bundesregierung über die Ausweitung des deutschen Küstenmeeres vom 19. Oktober 1994 (BGBl. I S. 3428) und die Proklamation der Bundesrepublik Deutschland über die Errichtung einer ausschließlichen Wirtschaftszone vom 25. November 1994 (BGBl. II S. 3769), die hinsichtlich der Abgrenzung des deutschen Küstenmeeres und der deutschen ausschließlichen Wirtschaftszone maßgeblich sind. Um diese Grenzen in heutigen GIS-Systemen besser verwenden zu können und Umrechnungsfehler zu vermeiden, hat das BSH die hier vorliegenden Gebrauchskoordinaten in WGS 84 abgeleitet. Sie sind insoweit keine offiziellen Seegrenzen Deutschlands. Die Daten werden gemäß der Datenspezifikation "D 2.8.I.4 INSPIRE Data Specification on Administrative Units - Technical Guidelines" vorgehalten.
