To find out more turn to page 3 Which services are important to you? In this edition… Gwynedd Council wants to know which of the wide range of local services it provides are most important to you and your community. What you say will then help Councillors to make the best possible decisions when deciding how to share out the limited amount of money they will have available to pay for Gwynedd Council services from 2019 onwards. The easiest and most convenient way to have your say is by filling in a short and simple questionnaire online at www.gwynedd.llyw.cymru/Priorities n World Heritage Site status bid - Page 9 If you don’t have internet access at home, you can use the free public internet service at your local library.

    Zitierhinweis Wright, Martin: Rezension über: Andrew Edwards, Labour's Crisis. Plaid Cymru, The Conservatives, and the Decline of the Labour Party in North-West Wales, 1960-1974, Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2011, in: Reviews in History, 2012, February, heruntergeladen über recensio.net First published: http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/1213 copyright Dieser Beitrag kann vom Nutzer zu eigenen nicht-kommerziellen Zwecken heruntergeladen und/oder ausgedruckt werden. Darüber hinaus gehende Nutzungen sind ohne weitere Genehmigung der Rechteinhaber nur im Rahmen der gesetzlichen Schrankenbestimmungen (§§ 44a-63a UrhG) zulässig. It wasn’t so long ago that British labour historiography was dominated by more or less celebratory accounts of the career of the Labour Party. As its title suggests, though, Andrew Edwards’ book is a sure sign that the times have changed. Labour’s Crisis confirms a historiographical shift from celebration towards post-mortem, and details the breakdown of Labour’s political hegemony in north-west Wales during the 1960s and 1970s. Its argument represents an attempt to understand the dynamics of British politics within a specific regional context, and reflects the growing historiographical realisation of the importance of ‘place’ in political history. It is based upon extensive and meticulous research, and it addresses a space – which is as much conceptual as it is geographical – in our understanding of mid-to-late 20th-century British politics. This book should, therefore, be of interest not just to historians of Wales, but to political historians more generally. Labour’s Crisis is sharply focused upon the politics of north-west Wales in the 1960s and early 1970s.

  • Landscape Character Baseline of the Study Area Protected Landscapes
    SECTION 2: BASELINE LANDSCAPE OF THE SNOWDONIA NATIONAL PARK Landscape Character Baseline of the Study Area Key Landscape Characteristics of the Snowdonia National Park 2.1 Snowdonia is comprised of a diverse mix of landscapes many of which are highly valued for their great natural beauty and tranquillity. The Snowdonia National Park is renowned for its rugged mountainous landscapes but also offers beautiful and unspoilt valley and coastal landscapes. 2.2 Landscape character assessment undertaken for the National Park has resulted in 25 LCAs being identified. The LCAs are illustrated in Figure 3 and are set out in the following report: Supplementary Planning Guidance 7 Landscapes and Seascapes of Eryri– Snowdonia National Park Authority, Eryri Local Development Plan 2007-2022 (para 3.10, p.44). This document subdivides the local planning authority area into 25 LCAs. Protected Landscapes (Statutory and Non-Statutory) Within the Study Area 2.3 The landscapes of the Isle of Anglesey, Gwynedd and Snowdonia National Park are protected by a significant proportion of both statutory and non-statutory landscape related designations. World Heritage Sites Caernarfon Castle and Town Walls, Beaumaris and Harlech Castles (Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd) World Heritage Site. 2.4 The extensive and detailed contemporary technical, social, and economic documentation of the castles, and the survival of adjacent fortified town at Caernarfon, makes them one of the major references of medieval history14. 2.5 There is no detailed Guidance regarding the siting of proposed wind energy, telecommunications and tourism developments in relation to this World Heritage Site or it’s essential setting, however Part 2 of The Castles and Town Walls of Edward I in Gwynedd, World Heritage Site Management Plan15 discusses the importance of significant/historic views into and out of each monument in the World Heritage Site, stating that inappropriate development would obstruct or interfere with these views, which generally extend beyond the areas of essential setting.

  • Rob Phillips the WELSH POLITICAL ARCHIVE at the NATIONAL LIBRARY of WALES
    Rob Phillips THE WELSH POLITICAL ARCHIVE AT THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF WALES Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru or The National Library of Wales (NLW) in Aberystwyth was established in 1909, to collect and provide access to the documentary history of the nation. It is a legal deposit library and is therefore entitled to receive a copy of all books, magazines, newspapers etc. published in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The Welsh Political Archive (WPA) is a dedicated programme within the Library, established in 1983, to collect, catalogue and promote archival material which reflects the political life of Wales. There is one staff member who coordinates the WPA’s activities, answers enquiries, promotes the archive and works to attract archives to add to the collection. Organising and cataloguing archives is undertaken by staff in the NLW’s Archives and Manuscripts Section. But as the political collections include tapes of radio and television programmes, photographs, works of art, electronic files and websites, the WPA works across departments within the National Library. In addition to curatorial work, the Welsh Political Archive also works to promote the use of the political collections through lectures and exhibitions. An advisory committee (comprised of representatives of political parties and civil society, journalists and academics), guiding the work of the WPA, meets annually. Rob Phillips, ‘The Welsh Political Archive at the National Library of Wales’, in: Studies on National Movements, 3 (2015). http://snm.nise.eu/index.php/studies/article/view/0310s Studies on National Movements, 3 (2015) | SOURCES Collections Many of the political archives the NLW holds are personal collections of well-known political figures (Members of Parliament, Lords, Members of the European Parliament and Assembly Members); the formal records of a large number of political organisations – including the main political parties, campaign groups, referendum campaigns – and business and labour groups constitute another important part.

  • Government Intervention in the Welsh Economy: 1974 to 1997. by Leon
    Government Intervention in the Welsh Economy: 1974 to 1997. By Leon Gooberman Submitted in accordance with the requirements for a PhD. Cardiff University i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Scott Newton of the School of History, Archaeology and Religion, and Professor Derek Matthews of Cardiff Business School for their advice and support. Also, thanks are due to my interviewees, who generously gave of their time, knowledge and experience. Most importantly, thanks to Mari. This thesis would never have been completed without her constant support and encouragement. ii Summary This thesis provides a description and analysis of government intervention in the Welsh economy between 1974 and 1997. During this period, Wales underwent rapid and far-reaching economic upheaval on such a massive scale that few avoided its impact. The scale of these changes was dramatic, as was the intensity of attempts to deal with their consequences. Wales acted as a laboratory for the development of approaches to government intervention in the economy. This thesis defines government intervention in the Welsh economy, before identifying activity, expenditure and (where possible) outputs across categories including land reclamation, factory construction, attraction of foreign direct investment, urban renewal, business support and the provision of grants and subsidies. It also places such interventions in their political and economic contexts, highlighting the dynamics that evolved between policies developed in Cardiff and London. By doing this, it asks and answers three questions relating to the changing dynamics of government intervention; namely, what was done, why was it done and was it effective? The thesis draws on primary sources including interviews with politicians and those formerly holding senior positions within governmental organisations, records held by the National Archives, personal and organisational archives held by the National Library of Wales, records held by other archives, newspapers and government publications.
