Shortfalls in accessibility, quantity and quality have been established through the application of the standards which can be found in Section 2 of the Open Space Strategy2. 1.2 The Action Plans consider the three standards (Quantity, Quality and Accessibility) at Ward level and identify a series of priority sites where, with the inclusion of additional types of open space within existing provision, need might be fulfilled.

  • Infant Mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865-1908. Linda Beresford BA
    Baby Graves: Infant Mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865-1908. Linda Beresford BA (Hons) Murd. Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in accordance with the requirements of Murdoch University (School of Social Sciences and Humanities), Perth, Western Australia, June, 2006 i I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... (Your name) ii Abstract The thesis examines the problem of infant mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865- 1908. In particular it investigates why Merthyr Tydfil, an iron, steel and coal producing town in south Wales, experienced high infant mortality rates throughout the nineteenth century which rose by the end of the century despite sixty years of public health reforms. The historiography of infant mortality in nineteenth-century Britain includes few Welsh studies although the south Wales Coalfield played an important part in industrial and demographic change in Britain during the second half of the nineteenth century. The thesis argues that conditions of industrial development shaped the social, economic and public health experience in Merthyr, ensnaring its citizens in social disadvantage, reflected in the largely unacknowledged human toll among mothers and babies in that process. The thesis analyses the causes of over 17, 000 infant deaths in Merthyr Tydfil from the primary evidence of an unusually complete series of Medical Officer of Health Reports to identify the principal attributed causes of infant death and explain their social origins and context. The thesis examines the work of Dr.

A range of information sources were utilised to feed into the assessment. These included an analysis of the local housing registers, household projections, homelessness data, house prices, rental prices, household incomes, dwelling stock turnover and housing supply data. Household sizes were found to be increasingly smaller across all markets, with acute need for one and two bedroom properties. There is also a disparity in demand to live in specific areas across Merthyr Tydfil; the Town, Penydarren, Cyfarthfa and Dowlais Wards proving most popular. Whilst assessing the local housing market as a whole, this study specifically estimated the deficit of affordable housing within the County Borough. Overall,
