2.11 LEC areas provide the most closely consistent geographical boundaries upon which a time series can be constructed backwards past 1995. The only major change on reorganisation after 1995 was the expansion of the Lanarkshire Development Agency Boundary to include Rutherglen and Cambuslang from Glasgow Development Agency and Cumbernauld and Kilsyth and the Northern Corridor from Dunbartonshire Enterprise. Table 4 shows the distribution of vacant and derelict land through time. There were no surveys in 1991 and 1992. The entire series has been adjusted so that Cumbernauld and Kilsyth are included in Lanarkshire Development Agency and not Dunbartonshire Enterprise. The footnotes to the table cover the treatment of the other boundary changes.
2.12 Where LEC areas contain an authority that did not participate in the survey in any particular year, then that authoritys previous return has been used to complete the data. For a list of non-participating authorities, see Annex Table C.
