This is somewhat at odds with the much larger proportion 16 . a few of which have third-party administrators. addressing local needs. although most of those who had rated it important. • The most common constraint was difficulty identifying project ideas (41%). accounting for 95% of total output capacity.Based on a study of all grid-connected onshore wind farms operational in Scotland in October 2007 and a survey of all wind farm community benefit fund-managing bodies (53% response rate. infrastructural and environmental improvements. HOW WIND FARM COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUNDS CONTRIBUTE TO LOCAL DEVELOPMENT • The majority of funds are used for immediate projects and activities. • Supporting local groups was the dominant category of fund use. reliance on volunteer time. Recreational activities. although several Local Authorities seek higher rates. or Companies Limited by Guarantee. Just 38% were satisfied with strategic use of funds. • Over three-quarters of fund bodies surveyed were satisfied overall with the type of benefits derived from the use of community benefit funds. suggesting that community benefit funds may be a catalyst for community development capacity. with over £780. A small number are managed centrally by Local Authorities. Skills gaps for developing and managing projects. SUCCESS AND CONSTRAINT FACTORS IN MEANINGFUL USE OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUNDS • The most highly rated success factor was local management of the fund (93%). • Less than two-thirds of respondents had carried out community consultation to establish aims for the fund. limited number of local groups to apply for funds.000 divested. Less than a fifth of survey respondents had allocated funds to strategic or long-term uses. • There was suggestion of valuable secondary outcomes in identifying local needs and priorities and building skills for community development which did not relate directly to fund expenditure in these areas. Others are constituted as Community Trusts. There are only two wind farms over 10 megawatts without a community benefit fund. although those who had rated it an important success factor. relevant skills within the fund managing body. Initial capital payments and productivity and/or profitability top-ups are also used. Limited consultation may well be reflected in the difficulties reported in agreeing fund aims and priorities and identifying project ideas. key individuals in the community. n=29). • Less than a fifth of respondents had received support or training for managing the fund. the following observations were made: THE EXTENT AND NATURE OF WIND FARM COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUNDS • Community benefit funds are almost universal for commercial wind farms in Scotland. all rated important by over two-thirds of respondents. • The 29 fund-managing bodies who took part in the survey had received over £2 million to date. Satisfaction was relatively high with the extent to which funds were benefiting the whole community. and other local funding sources. with several other Authorities adopting this model for more recent developments. • Only a fifth of respondents considered the lack a community development plan or other strategic planning to be a constraint on deriving meaningful benefit from the fund. and identifying local needs and priorities also featured strongly.000 per megawatt of installed capacity. and difficulty agreeing fund aims and priorities were also constraints for around a third of communities. providing additionality to local funding and providing long-term benefits. Limited training may be reflected in the skills gap constraints for developing and managing projects. • The majority of funds are administered by Community Councils. Other success factors were community consultation and publicity. • Annual contributions are typically between £700 and £2.
• The research strongly suggests that local management is an important factor in deriving meaningful benefit from community benefit funds. It is possible that a local Development Agency or Trust could provide such support. both as a funding context and from an administrative point of view.reporting difficulty identifying fund aims and projects. less than two-thirds rated it important for fund use. it would be instructive to compare the type and extent of benefits derived by the local communities as well as any particular success or constraint factors. • Of those with a community development plan. the appropriateness and potential benefits of integrating a community benefit fund with these should be investigated. or from the fund itself. Of those with a Development Trust or Officer. as appropriate to the size of fund. This should include support on community consultation. and the relatively low satisfaction rating for the strategic use of funds. and given both the DTI recommendations and community comments against this approach. through which the extent to which they deliver 'meaningful benefit' in terms of the needs and aspirations of the community can be assessed. • Likewise with the one wind farm (Wardlaw Wood) where community benefits are provided through direct funding of local projects and activities. accessing match funding. no conclusion could be drawn on the hypothesis that community development structures and capacity make it easier for communities to make meaningful use community benefit funds. • Fund-managing bodies should be supported to develop evaluation methodologies for the use of community benefit funds. the benefits of a local element should not be overlooked. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH The findings of this study suggest a number of areas for further research. • Where community development structures exist (such as community development plans. • This study did not cover wind farm community benefit funds that are centrally administered by Local Authorities. less than a third rated it important. strategic planning. particularly in terms of strategic use and likely long-term benefits. and developing and managing projects. 17 . would be valuable in further investigating the extent to which community development structures and capacity can enable communities to make the most of community benefit funds. Where third-party administrative arrangements are considered. the variable need within each community for support and training should be appraised and addressed so that communities have the skills and resources to make best use of their funds. RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendations for practice • Wind farm communities should be encouraged and supported to carry out community consultation to establish aims and priorities for the fund and. perhaps at a cost that could be negotiated as part of the community benefit arrangement. the limited importance placed on a strategic context may well be related to the size of the fund. perhaps from among the larger funds. what are the benefits and drawbacks of this approach from a community perspective ? • Case studies on a range of community benefit funds. • Due to the small number of funds in the survey. • These recommendations will become increasingly important as the monies available to communities becomes larger in line with the increasing size and number of wind farms. • When establishing community benefit funds and making decisions on administrative arrangements. In view of the fact that a number of Local Authorities are adopting this model. As the majority of funds surveyed received under £20. to prepare strategic plans for how the fund can best be used. other local plans or Development Trusts). • Case studies on the few funds where some dissatisfaction was reported might provide valuable transferable lessons. It may also be that some existing fund-managing bodies would benefit from support in reviewing their arrangements in view of forthcoming wind farm extensions.000 per year.

The Book highlights the present and past male stars of hollywood whose stars remain in tact containing colour images of the walk of fame characters and walk of fame stars.
'On creating the book I used to live in Hollywood Blvd right by the Walk of Fame and was always intrigued by the backstory of the costumed characters who roamed the dirty streets of Hollywood Blvd.I had no idea about the actual historical past of its honourees and how so many heinous crimes had been committed towards women in the industry and started to delve into it more when the #metoo movement took strength in the media. As you will find you might be surprised by the actors and directors who have stars on the walk of fame even though they have been outed especially in the last year. I had to research every single person who has ever recieved a star which took a month so i'm hoping with pressure the Hollywood Commerce will change its stance against these men and remove their stars.
