  • Electoral Reform Society Response From: Electoral Reform Society
    DLG 22 Ymchwiliad i amrywiaeth ym maes llywodraeth leol Inquiry into diversity in local government Ymateb gan: Electoral Reform Society Response from: Electoral Reform Society Introduction Earlier this year ERS Cymru published ‘New Voices’ a report looking at the barriers to diversity across Welsh politics. The report examined UK Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and Welsh local government in turn, assessing the unique circumstances in each which halt gender equality and greater diversity generally being reached. As part of this work on local government we have assessed the current makeup of Welsh local authorities, following last year’s local elections, surveyed elected representatives in Wales with 224 councillors responding and undertook in depth interviews with key figures in local authorities in Wales, including Debbie Wilcox, Leader of Newport Council and the WLGA, Rodney Berman, Councillor and former Leader of Cardiff Council and Yvonne Jardine of Swansea Council. The full report can be found here: https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/latest-news-and- research/publications/new-voices-how-welsh-politics-can-begin-to-reflect-wales/ 1. Understanding the importance of diversity among local councillors, including the effect on public engagement, debate and decision making. 1.1. At present just 28% of Wales’ councillors are women. In two local authorities in Wales there are no women at all in the cabinet. Only 30% of candidates in last year’s election were women, with a third of wards having no women standing at all.1 1.2. In our survey, which 224 councillors undertook we asked for a range of information including age, sexual orientation and ethnicity in addition to gender.

That the green wedge protection to the North of Cardiff, stretching from Creigiau to St Mellons will be reviewed as part of the next LDP. That the National Development Framework Consultation Draft states: “The Welsh Government supports the use of green belts in the South East region in managing and planning urban growth.
