ISLE OF ANGLESEY COUNTY COUNCIL REPORT TO : Corporate Scrutiny Committee DATE: 17 September 2015 SUBJECT : Modernising Schools on Anglesey – Formal Consultation in the Bro Rhosyr and Bro Aberffraw areas PORTFOLIO HOLDER(S): Councillor Kenneth Hughes REPORT AUTHOR: Emrys Bebb Tel: E-mail: 1.0 RECOMMENDATIONS At its meeting on September 8, 2014, the Isle of Anglesey County Council Executive Committee resolved: To authorise the Officers from the Lifelong Learning Department to enable them to conduct an informal or non-statutory consultation process on the primary education provision in South Western Anglesey. To subsequently prepare several possible options on the way forward by early 2015. The Council have consulted with parents, governors and staff at the six schools in the area and also with the local communities, local councillors and with the Welsh Government and other stakeholders. The consultation period ran from November 17th 2014 until December 21st 2014. The non-statutory or informal consultation meetings were arranged with the staff, governors and parents of the 6 schools involved over this period. Consultation meetings were also held with community councils in the Bro Rhosyr and Bro Aberffraw areas. Several possible options on the way forward for the primary education provision in the Bro Rhosyr and Bro Aberffraw areas were considered in the non-statutory or informal consultation process. Two possibilities arose from the detailed analysis conducted:- Option A This would be based on Option 2, namely a new school for Bodorgan, Brynsiencyn, Newborough, Dwyran and one new school for Llangaffo and Parc Y Bont. In this context, locating one of the new schools in the Newborough area would mean that about a third of the children are able to walk to school.

Atodiad 2 Remit and membership of our scrutiny committees Atodiad 3 Vision for Delivering Effective Scrutiny in the Council 2 1. FOREWORD Councillor Aled Morris Jones Chair of the Corporate Scrutiny Committee 2019/20 Scrutiny Champion 2019/20 It is my pleasure to provide an overview of the work of the Corporate Scrutiny Committee over the last 12 months. The scope of work of the Committee is discussed in this report and it is fair to note that the workload continues to be considerable and varied. A total of 10 meetings were convened during the municipal year in order to complete our work programme. Annual budget setting 2020/21 – I feel that one of the most important responsibilities of the Committee is to contribute fully to the process of setting the Council’s annual budget as this is a vital process which has a far-reaching impact on every field and service within the Council and on the public. The Committee considered the draft budget for 2020/21. As part of this process, the Committee considered the initial draft budgets, and also the responses to the public consultation, and contributed to the final proposals. The contribution of the Finance Scrutiny Panel has added value to the process, and detailed scrutiny work has been undertaken by the Panel which has assisted the Committee with its work in this area.

6.4 Supply and Quality of Housing
6.4 Managing Growth and Development Supply and Quality of Housing 6.4 SUPPLY AND QUALITY OF HOUSING SCALE OF HOUSING 6.4.1 Context • A key aim of national planning policy is to create sustainable mixed communities for current and future residents. • Local planning authorities must ensure that sufficient land is genuinely available or will become available to provide a 5-year supply of land for housing. • Local planning authorities, in partnership with the community, including the private sector, must develop policies to meet the challenges and particular circumstances evident within specific locations in their areas. • The purpose of the Single Integrated Plan and each Council’s Strategic/ Corporate Plan is to promote economic, social and environmental wellbeing in Anglesey and Gwynedd. • Through their Strategic/ Corporate Plans and their Housing Strategies, each Council seeks to facilitate the provision of an adequate amount of housing to satisfy the needs of local communities in terms of type and affordability. Introduction 6.4.2 The Plan is expected to deliver one of the Government’s key housing goals that aims to ensure that more housing of the right type be provided and that more choice should be provided. The creation of a healthy and balanced housing market is also a key objective of both Councils, and together with other strategies and programmes being undertaken by the Councils and other organisations, the Plan should ensure the use of land supports the delivery of sustainable communities which in turn helps to sustain or strengthen the well-being of the Welsh language. Failing to do this will undermine the Councils’ economic strategies and restrict our ability through the planning system to secure affordable housing to meet the very acute needs of many communities.
