ADDRESS Former Mid Wales Hospital, Hospital Road, Talgarth CONSULTATIONS/COMMENTS Consultee Received Comments Brecon Beacons Park The proposed development adversely affects Society the Talgarth Conservation area and is contrary to UDP Policies Q17 and 18, the policies relating to Conservation areas in the deposited LDP and the guidance given in PPW Chapter 6.5.16 – 6.5.23.

  • A Sheffield Hallam University Thesis
    Taboo : why are real-life British serial killers rarely represented on film? EARNSHAW, Antony Robert Available from the Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive (SHURA) at: http://shura.shu.ac.uk/20984/ A Sheffield Hallam University thesis This thesis is protected by copyright which belongs to the author. The content must not be changed in any way or sold commercially in any format or medium without the formal permission of the author.

Taboo: Why are Real-Life British Serial Killers Rarely Represented on Film? Antony Robert Earnshaw Sheffield Hallam University MA English by Research September 2017 1 Abstract This thesis assesses changing British attitudes to the dramatisation of crimes committed by domestic serial killers and highlights the dearth of films made in this country on this subject. It discusses the notion of taboos and, using empirical and historical research, illustrates how filmmakers’ attempts to initiate productions have been vetoed by social, cultural and political sensitivities. Comparisons are drawn between the prevalence of such product in the United States and its uncommonness in Britain, emphasising the issues around the importing of similar foreign material for exhibition on British cinema screens and the importance of geographic distance to notions of appropriateness. The influence of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is evaluated. This includes a focus on how a central BBFC policy – the so- called 30-year rule of refusing to classify dramatisations of ‘recent’ cases of factual crime – was scrapped and replaced with a case-by-case consideration that allowed for the accommodation of a specific film championing a message of tolerance.

ADDRESS Former Mid Wales Hospital, Hospital Road , Talgarth CONSULTATIONS/COMMENTS Consultee Received Comments Powys County The Cabinet considered a report on the potential Council Executive impact on Council services of a large scale Cabinet development proposal at the site of the former Mid Wales Hospital in Talgarth. The Cabinet was agreed on the need for a co-ordinated response and a constructive dialogue with the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority. Management Team would discuss the issue to ensure that there was a co- ordinated response from services. The Board resolved that the Leader responds on behalf of the Council as follows: Taking all matters into account, the Council is concerned that with the significant residential element proposed, the scheme is out of balance with the stated aims of BBNPA policy, which seeks to maximise and promote the economic reuse of the site for the benefit of Talgarth and wider area.

  • National Assembly for Wales to Urge the Welsh Government to List Or Otherwise Protect Buildings of Note on the Former Mid Wales Hospital Site
    P-04-365 Protect buildings of note on the Mid Wales Hospital site – Correspondence from Members of the public to the Committee William Powell AM Petitions Committee National Assembly for Wales Dear Mr Powell, The petition P-04-365, lead petitioner John Tushingham, “We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to list or otherwise protect buildings of note on the former Mid Wales Hospital site. Unlisted but in the Conservation Area they are an invaluable part of the architectural and social heritage of Talgarth.” is still under consideration. The committee has been extremely helpful in this matter for which I am most grateful. The Mid Wales Hospital is within the Talgarth Conservation Area and on the local list but I am wondering, in light of the renewed threat to the buildings, if it could be possible to ask Cadw to reconsider listing? A statement written by Judith Alfrey of Cadw 16 July 2012, in response to a request from SAVE, gives a brief assessment of the historic and architectural interest of the former Mid Wales Hospital, Talgarth, explaining the basis of the decision not to list, but setting out the understanding of where its interest lies. Three years have passed since this statement was made and Cadw’s website tells me: A key element of Cadw’s heritage regeneration activity is action related to heritage assets in a deteriorating condition. We have been working to identify the number and type of listed buildings at risk in Wales. Between 1840 and 1914, only buildings of a definite quality and character qualify (especially those which are the significant works of principal architects).

  • The Crisis of Penal Populism: Prison Legitimacy and Its Effects on Women’S Prisons in the UK
    Forensic Research & Criminology International Journal Review Article Open Access The crisis of penal populism: prison legitimacy and its effects on women’s prisons in the UK Abstract Volume 6 Issue 6 - 2018 Considering the closure of one of the oldest and infamous prisons in London, HM Susanna Menis Holloway female prison, and the controversy which had followed the plan concerning Associated Lecturer, University of London, London the use of the land, this study provides a brief review of the penal policies affecting women’s prisons in the UK since the 1990s. The review draws attention to the Correspondence: Susanna Menis, Associated Lecturer, problematic concept of penal populism and how the government has been using the Honorary Researcher (2017/18), School of Law, Birkbeck, prison system as a pawn in their political battleground. Therefore, it is argued that University of London, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HX, the failings in the prison system cannot be attributed solely to its nature, but it is also Email essential to consider the temperament of politics in this area.

    Appendix 1 Police and Crime Committee – 1 November 2017 Transcript of Agenda Item 6: Women Offenders in London Steve O’Connell AM (Chairman): That takes us to the main part of the morning, which is the subject of women offenders in London. This Committee, as I say, is embarking on a thematic piece of work around this and this is the first part of our investigations. To set the scene around it, clearly, although women make up a small amount of the overall number of offenders, they are a distinct group with very specific needs in relation to offending and rehabilitation. It is great that you have come along today to assist us in that work. The issues we will be picking out in our questions will include very much the Corston Report [The Rt Hon Baroness Jean Corston, 2007] and the closure of [HM Prison] Holloway. Importantly, our work here is reflecting upon the Mayor’s work in this area and you will know that the Police and Crime Plan specifically refers to women offenders - and the Mayor has already committed an amount of money towards that - and a new female offender service. We will be talking about that later. The first question, if I may, is largely, really, to scene set. I have referred to the Corston Report, which was ten years ago, in essence, and I would like you all if you could on this particular instance - in relatively succinct terms because we will investigate it more thoroughly later - to reflect upon that it has been ten years since the report calling for a distinct and separate - distinct more than separate, I would say - approach to women offending.
