  • 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.

  • Stakeholder Briefing Document, Intercity West Coast Re-Franchising
    Stakeholder Briefing Document, InterCity West Coast Re-Franchising MAY 2011 1 Consultation Process The Department is grateful to all the organisations and individuals who took the time and effort to respond to this consultation, and to those who attended the consultation events. Their valuable comments and suggestions have been considered and are summarised in this report. The Department has endeavoured, in good faith, to produce a synopsis of each response received. These are tabulated at Appendix B. Any significant omission or incorrect emphasis is entirely unintentional. Bidders for the franchise will have access to all consultation responses submitted. The consultation document for the proposed InterCity West Coast franchise was issued by the Department on the 19th of January 2011, and closed on the 21st of April 2011. The consultation gave details of the proposed specification for the new franchise, and posed a number of questions to consultees. The closed consultation document can be found at: http://www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/closed/ 325 local authorities, agencies (such as the Office of Rail Regulation), user groups and rail industry stakeholders (including Passenger Focus) were formally consulted and were sent electronic copies of the consultation document. No formal ‘hard copy’ document was produced for this consultation exercise as part of the Department’s overall drive for efficiency savings. In addition the document was posted on the DfT website and a press notice released. All MPs with one or more stations in their Constituency served by the current franchise were also sent a copy of the consultation document and copies were also placed in the House of Commons library.

  • Landranger Bar Reprints (Pdf)
    LANDRANGER ‘BAR’ REPRINTS The list includes all known bar reprints published up to late 2012. When I started it, ‘bar’ reprints were uncommon and generally issued to correct one or more errors on the previous edition. But as Ordnance Survey publication policy has evolved over the years they have become much more common and now include substantial change: in 2013 over half of new Landranger editions were bar reprints. I have therefore decided to discontinue updates, except when a bar reprint is issued solely to correct errors. William Henwood. September 2014. Edition: square brackets enclose bars omitted from the map, either by accident or design. Examples include sheet 135 where First Series A was directly followed by A//*. There was an intermediate state which should have been A/. Sheet 189 Second Series A/*/* was ‘Reprinted with major changes’. 2 years later a further state was described as ‘Reprinted with minor changes’; this should have been A/*/*/. Dates: are expressed as mm/yy. Those without brackets are taken from OS publication reports. Square brackets enclose relevant GSGS print code dates. Round brackets enclose printing dates taken from Richard Oliver’s notes on First Series job files. Question marks indicate a lack of dating evidence, the date given being based on when the state was first seen or purchased. Imprints: All text is pre-fixed by ‘Reprinted with’. Min Ch = minor change. Min Chs = minor changes. Min Corrs = minor corrections. Corrs = corrections. Dots thus........indicate that part or all of the text is found in the Distinguishing Features column. [None] = no text relating to the reprint (though the text of an earlier state may remain).
