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.

Community Planning (Jackie Dix, Alison Palmer) [email protected]
DNITY PLANNNG BRIEFING Community Planning Quarterly Briefing October to December 08 This is a quarterly briefing designed to give everyone involved in the community planning process across the Caerphilly County Borough, as well as wider audiences, an overview of progress on the Community Strategy. Information has been supplied by each of the co-ordinators leading on different themes of the Community Strategy. Community Planning (Jackie Dix, Alison Palmer) [email protected] Caerphilly Local Service Board (LSB) The LSB has endorsed a research report and strategy it has commissioned on developing Shared Approaches to Citizen Engagement. This work is to be rolled out across the borough through a multi-agency group. Juliet Martinez, Welsh Assembly Government, has spoken to the LSB on the Wales Spatial Plan (WSP). The WSP is an overarching framework document and an integration tool for policy and investment. It shapes the Welsh Assembly Government’s national policy and sets a regional context for local plans and policies and the work of LSBs. Colin Palfrey, Cllr Lindsay Whittle and Chief Superintendent Alun Thomas from the LSB gave evidence to the National Assembly for Wales Health, Wellbeing and Local Government Inquiry into local service boards in September. The message from the Inquiry has been positive to the benefits of the LSB approach. A transcript of the meeting and the written evidence is available via the following web links: http://www.assemblywales.org/bus-home/bus-committees/bus-committees- third1/bus-committees-third-hwlg-home/bus-committees-third-hwlg- -

Conference Guide
Autumn Conference 2012 Brecon 13 October 2012 Welcome Dear friends, It’s a great pleasure to welcome you to my home town of Brecon for the 2012 Welsh Liberal Democrat Autumn Conference. It’s been quite a challenging year for us as a party but this conference is going to be an opportunity for members to come together, discuss, debate and offer radical policies that will provide a strong platform for the Assembly elections in 2016. As you flick through this guide, you will see that the format of the Autumn Conference has changed. The weekend has been designed to ensure that members, the people who make this party what it is, have even more opportunities to question, to learn and to formulate party policy. There will also be an opportunity for members to look back at the local election campaign, learn lessons and develop new campaigning skills that will put us in good stead to take on the challenges ahead. And as ever, this will be an opportunity to catch up with old friends and form new bonds with Welsh Liberal Democrats from all across Wales.
