10. NOTICE OF MOTION UNDER STANDING ORDER 13 The Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla takes place on Saturday 6th May 2023, following the King’s Accession to the throne on 8th September 2022 upon the sad passing of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Coronation itself precedes a weekend of celebration across the nation, with a particular focus on community and volunteering, culminating in The Big Help Out on Monday 8th May – a national day of volunteering and service to the community. This theme is in line with the King’s particular wishes for a meaningful and lasting legacy which makes a difference to local life, and in recognition of His own personal dedication to public service. Argyll and Bute Council therefore: 1. Welcomes the work being carried out by communities around Argyll and Bute who are arranging celebratory events of all kinds to mark the Coronation, and who are planning to make their own very significant contributions to the national Big Help Out at a local level; 2. Acknowledges, on this historic occasion, the tremendous dedication and commitment of Argyll and Bute’s volunteers and local groups, which makes a difference all year round, and thanks them for their ongoing contributions to community life; and 3. Sends its congratulations and best wishes to King Charles III and Queen Camilla on the occasion of His Coronation on Saturday 6th May 2023, and agree that the Provost write to the King expressing these sentiments on behalf of the Council and the communities of Argyll and Bute. Proposer: Councillor Tommy Macpherson Seconder: Councillor Alastair Redman 11. NOTICE OF MOTION UNDER STANDING ORDER 13 Disposable single use vapes represent a significant danger to both the environment and also the health of our young people. At least 1.3 million disposable vapes are binned every week in the U.K. The improper disposable of these is not only a squandering of valuable recyclable materials but can also lead to potential damage of council and private facilities. 16% of young people say they have used e-cigarettes in the last 30 days (The Annual report of the Director of Public Health NHS Highland) and according to research by ASH (action on smoking and health) Vaping among the 11-17 year old age group doubled over the last year with this increase in use likely driven by the growth in cheap, disposable single use vapes, this represents a significant risk to the health of our young people especially as the long term effects of these products remains unknown. Argyll and Bute council therefore calls on the Scottish government to use its existing powers to implement a ban on single use disposable vapes as soon as practicably possible. Proposed by Councillor Ross Moreland Seconded by Councillor Math Campbell-Sturgess
