I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

  • 'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
    S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

  • The Chester ‘Command’ System C
    The Chester ‘Command’ System c. 71-96 C.E. by Tristan Price A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Classical Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2019 © Tristan Price 2019 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis centres on the operations of the Chester ‘command’ system in the region of North Wales, roughly from the first year in which Petilius Cerialis served as the governor of Britain to the death of Emperor Domitian. Despite the several auxiliary forts that were occupied simultaneously during this period, seven military stations have been selected to demonstrate the direct application of Roman rule in the region imposed by a fortified network of defences and communications: the legionary fortress of Chester, the fortress at Wroxeter, the fort at Forden Gaer, along with Caersws II, Pennal, Caernarfon, and Caerhun. After the fortress at Wroxeter was abandoned c. 90 C.E. the fortress of Chester held sole legionary authority and administered control over the auxiliary units stationed in North Wales and the Welsh midlands. Each fort within this group was strategically positioned to ensure the advantages of its location and environment were exploited. The sites of Wroxeter, Forden Gaer, Caersws II, and Pennal were not only placed on the same road (RR64) to maintain a reliable communications system across the Severn valley, but the paths through which indigenous people could travel north or south were limited as each military post controlled access to the preferred land routes over the River Severn and the River Dyfi.

  • Overview of the Caerphilly County Borough Area Demographic and Health Data
    Overview of the Caerphilly County Borough Area Demographic and Health Data The Caerphilly county borough covers an area stretching from the Brecon Beacons National Park in the north, to Cardiff and Newport in the south. It is bordered to the west by Merthyr Tydfil and Rhondda Cynon Taff, and to the east by Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen local authorities. The area lies at the heart of both the South Wales Valleys and the Cardiff Capital Region. The Caerphilly county borough occupies some 28,000 hectares of the Valleys area of South East Wales. It is a little over 30km long and 17.5km wide and is formed by the valleys of three rivers: the Rhymney, Sirhowy and Ebbw. The county borough is a mixture of urban and rural communities. Three quarters of the county borough is used for agriculture and forestry. The topographical constraints associated with the three valleys presents significant challenges in terms of the relationships and functions of their towns and villages. Few areas within Caerphilly county borough are capable of being economically self-sufficient. There are five principal centres within Caerphilly county borough: Caerphilly, Blackwood, Risca, Bargoed and Ystrad Mynach – Caerphilly being the largest with a population of 33,2361. These centres’ functions are supported by the four local centres of Newbridge, Rhymney, Nelson and Bedwas. These centres function as major employers, retail centres, and providers of services and centres of population. The remaining settlements in the county borough are mainly residential urban areas, although there are a number of remote rural valleys settlements. Overall the county borough comprises of 50 distinct towns and villages, many of which are typical valley settlements and located on the valley floor.

  • Gorsaf Carno: Ail-Ago
    Y Pwyllgor Deisebau PET(3)01-07 (p3): 4 Gorffennaf 2007 Gorsaf Carno: Ail- ago Diben Gofynnir i’r Pwyllgor ystyried y ddeiseb ynghlwm, a gyflwynwyd gan Mr A.L. Burton, Cadeirydd Grwp Gweithredu Gorsaf Carno. Cefndir Mae’r ddeiseb yn galw ar Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru i ail agor yr orsaf reilffordd yng Ngharno ar linell drenau yr Amwythig i Aberystwyth. Mae’r ddeiseb wedi derbyn 800 o lofnodion yn cefnogi’r alwad. Fe noda’r deisebwyr y bydd Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru yn fuan yn penderfynu a yw am ariannu newidiadau sylweddol yn seilwaith llinell reilffordd y Cambrian trwy Garno er mwyn ei gwneud yn bosibl i gyflwyno gwasanaeth bob awr. Un o’r patrymau dolennau pasio sydd wedi’i hargymell gan Network Rail (yn yr Astudiaeth Dewis Opsiynau GRIP 3) yw adleoli dolen basio bresennol Talerddig yng Ngharno, gan felly arbed gwariant ar oddeutu ddwy filltir o gledrau dwbl mewn man pasio arall ger y Trallwng. Mae’r deisebwyr yn argymell fod y patrwm dolennau pasio hwn yn cael ei ddewis gan y Cynulliad, gan eu bod yn credu y byddai’n galluogi’r orsaf i gael ei hagor yng Ngharno heb oedi pellach i drennau ac yn rhoi terfyn ar yr arfer presennol o stopio trenau allan yng nghefn gwlad. Mae’r deisebwyr yn credu y byddai ail-agor gorsaf Carno yn dod â manteision amgylcheddol trwy gynnig dewis arall o deithio posibl i ddefnyddio’r car ar gyfer dibenion gwaith a hamdden, ac fe allai arwain at ostwng tagfeydd traffig yn Aberystwyth a’r Drenewydd yn eu barn hwy.
