  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

  • Housing in Wales: HQN's Pre-Election Briefing
    Housing in Wales: HQN’s pre-election briefing MARCH 2016 Keith Edwards Introduction “In the other countries of the UK, devolved powers mean that many aspects of housing policy will be determined locally” Roger Jarman Many of the big policy levers that impact on housing – taxation and welfare benefits for example – remain the prerogative of the UK government. Indeed a 2015 report by the Auditor General for Wales confirmed that changes to welfare benefits instigated by the UK Government had adversely affected a greater proportion of tenants of social housing in Wales than in either England or Scotland. It is, however, the case that a different narrative and agenda for action are being developed for housing in Wales. Nothing illustrates this better than whole system approach, a concept first developed by the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) Cymru and now championed by Welsh Government, with significant cross-party support. Central to this is positioning government as system steward, legislating, regulating, funding, nudging and encouraging innovation across all partners and tenures to deliver housing solutions. As a consequence there are now significant areas where housing policy and practice in Wales are taking a completely different tack to that of other administrations, most notably in comparison with the UK government. For example Wales has a fundamentally different position in relation to the Right to Buy, regulating the private rented sector and preventing homelessness. When elections to the National Assembly for Wales come around there is a genuine opportunity to hold politicians to account and try to shape the priorities of the next administration.
