  • People, Places and Policy

    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.

    Dyfed Invertebrate Group Has Received Amongst Entomologists Nationwide and There Are Now Almost One Hundred Subscribers to the Newsletter

    DYFED INVERTEBRATE GROUP NEWSLETTER N°. 2 June 1986 We have been gratified by the reception that the formation of the Dyfed Invertebrate Group has received amongst entomologists nationwide and there are now almost one hundred subscribers to the Newsletter. This is a sound base upon which to establish our contribution to invertebrate conservation in west Wales and the specialists involved cover a very wide range of groups. With the summer now upon us (or so I'm reliably informed) the impetus should be there for us all to get out 'in the field' and add to our knowledge of the distribution and ecological requirements of the county fauna. Do remember to send in your records to the relevant county recorders and keep us informed of any interesting observations. The Newsletter is here to ensure that significant records and accounts of methodical surveys find their way in to print. We would welcome more feed-back from subscribers, both in the form of articles for the Newsletter and suggestions for the improvement of DIG - do drop us a line from time to time and tell us how your invertebrate work is progressing. Which brings me to the thorny problem of subscriptions! The DIG Newsletter is produced entirely through the kindness of NCC Dyfed-Powys in allowing us access to secretarial and photo-copying facilities. However, we would appreciate assistance with postage and hence the subscription for 1986 will be four First Class Stamps. Please send your 'subscription' to the Editor during the course of the summer. We regret that the September issue of the Newsletter will not be sent to members who have not forwarded their subscription in time.

  • Dalton Visits the UK

    Dalton Visits the UK

    ZULU VISITS UK by Bill Cainan Lidizwe Dalton Ngobese is currently employed as a tour guide at the Isandlwana Lodge in KwaZulu Natal. He is the great great grandson of Sihayo and the great grandson of Mehlokazulu. In June of 2010 he was able, due to a kind benefactor, to visit the UK for the first time. Dalton planned a five day itinerary, the main aim of which was to visit the SWB Museum at Brecon. Once the visit was confirmed the curator of the Museum, Martin Everett, rang me to ask if I would be willing to host Dalton while he was in UK. Having met Dalton a few times in KZN I was delighted to accept the offer. Dalton’s visit coincided with the UK’s Armed Forces Day which, in 2010, was being held in Cardiff with HRH Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, taking the salute. The Prince was also scheduled to open “Firepower”, the museum of the Welsh Soldier, which was located within Cardiff Castle. A plan quickly took shape involving Dalton in full Zulu regalia and myself in a uniform of a Corporal of the 24th to be in attendance at the entrance to the Museum. Dalton was also keen to visit some of the more famous Welsh castles on his visit. The diary of his visit is as follows: Wednesday 23rd June: Dalton arrives at Cardiff airport having flown from Jo’burg via Schipol. There were a few problems with the UK’s Border Agency , but when Dalton produced the formal invite to the opening of “Firepower” in Cardiff (TO BE ATTENDED BY HRH THE PRINCE OF WALES), things seemed to get a bit easier! I then drove Dalton the 50 miles to Brecon and he was given a quick tour of the Museum by Martin Everett (the Curator) and Celia Green (the Customer Services Manager).
  • HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH

    HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH

    HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH We all think of Aberystwyth as a seaside resort town. The presence of the ruined castle suggests a coloured medieval history, fraught with battles and land forever changing hands between powerful rulers. However, there was evidence of human activity in Aberystwyth long before this time, so we thought it might be worth going through the history of Aberyst- wyth right from the start. The earliest recorded human activity in Aberystwyth area dates back to around 11,500 years ago during the mesolithic period. The mesolithic period signalled the end of a long and arduous ice age, which saw most of the worlds surface covered in ice, leav- ing only the most hardy plants and animals to survive. As the ice retreaded in Mid Wales, this revealed large supplies of stone, including flint at Tan-Y-Bwlch which lies at the foot of Pen Dinas hill. There is strong evidence that the area was used for flint knapping, which involved the shaping of the flint deposits left behind by the retreating ice in order to make weapons for hunting for hunting animals. The flint could be shaped into sharp points, which could be used as primitive spears and other equipment, used by the hunter gatherer to obtain food. Around 3000 years ago there is evidence of an early Celtic ringfort on the site of Pen Dinas. The ringfort is a circular fortified set- tlement which was common throughout Northern Europe in the Bronze and Iron ages. What remains of this particular example at Aberystwyth is now located on private land on Pen Dinas, and can only be accessed by arrangement.

    THE ROLE of GRAZING ANIMALS and AGRICULTURE in the CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: Recognising Key Environmental and Economic Benefits Delivered by Agriculture in Wales’ Uplands

    THE ROLE OF GRAZING ANIMALS AND AGRICULTURE IN THE CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: recognising key environmental and economic benefits delivered by agriculture in Wales’ uplands Author: Ieuan M. Joyce. May 2013 Report commissioned by the Farmers’ Union of Wales. Llys Amaeth,Plas Gogerddan, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, SY23 3BT Telephone: 01970 820820 Executive Summary This report examines the benefits derived from the natural environment of the Cambrian Mountains, how this environment has been influenced by grazing livestock and the condition of the natural environment in the area. The report then assesses the factors currently causing changes to the Cambrian Mountains environment and discusses how to maintain the benefits derived from this environment in the future. Key findings: The Cambrian Mountains are one of Wales’ most important areas for nature, with 17% of the land designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). They are home to and often a remaining stronghold of a range of species and habitats of principal importance for the conservation of biological diversity with many of these species and habitats distributed outside the formally designated areas. The natural environment is critical to the economy of the Cambrian Mountains: agriculture, forestry, tourism, water supply and renewable energy form the backbone of the local economy. A range of non-market ecosystem services such as carbon storage and water regulation provide additional benefit to wider society. Documentary evidence shows the Cambrian Mountains have been managed with extensively grazed livestock for at least 800 years, while the pollen record and archaeological evidence suggest this way of managing the land has been important in the area since the Bronze Age.
