Being able to age in a healthy way was important to most people and finding ways to do this was important. 4 4 Context Ageing Well in Pembrokeshire This Strategy is set with the following context: The largest increase by far is for the age group 85 and over. Projections for Pembrokeshire suggest a The 2001 Census estimated the population of Pembrokeshire to be at 114,138. dramatic 93% increase by 2030. Compare this with the overall Wales increase of 80%, shows that The 2011 Census estimated the population of Pembrokeshire needs to ensure people live healthy, Pembrokeshire to be at 122,439. prosperous and independent lives.i These figures lead us to believe that the population growth over the next 10 years to be 8,301 or 7.3%. At the 2011 Census By 2021 this We understand that the bulk of this increase the Pembrokeshire population is projected to break down was: change to: will be due to 2 factors: 20.5% under 18, 19.4% under 18, 1) The amount of people moving into 21.8% 65 and over, 26.6% 65 and over, Pembrokeshire. (Particularly of the older 10.1% 75 and over 13.1% 75 and over working-aged adults). 2.8% 85 and over. 4.0% 85 and over 2) An increase in life expectancy. In 2001 about 19% of the population were aged 65 and over. By 2011 this had increased to 22% and by 2021 it is projected to have increased to nearly 27%. The proportion of the oldest people within the 65 and over age group is also increasing, which has particular relevance to the provision of services as social services to older people are more likely to be needed by this age group. In 2001 just under 9% of the population were aged 75 and over.

  • Annual Report 2014 - 2015
    North Pembrokeshire Transport Forum Fforwm Trafnidiaeth Gogledd Penfro ANNUAL REPORT 2014 - 2015 INTRODUCTION The North Pembrokeshire Transport Forum is an independent voluntary group that works for the provision of an effective integrated transport system to, from and within North Pembrokeshire, promotes the benefits of public transport and works towards the greater use of public transport systems. The Forum is funded by the membership subscriptions of its Individual, Family and Corporate members. The Forum supports strategic objectives that: • Provide for the greater integration and interchange between different modes of transport. • Put in place public transport services that meet the needs of individuals and communities by improving, for example, the quality of passenger information, and increasing the responsiveness, reliability, and security of public transport services. • Promote social inclusion (making services available to all members of the public) through the further development of an affordable, accessible public transport system which meets user needs and works to remove access and mobility barriers for all public transport users. • Encourage more sustainable modes of transport and reduce the need for travel by car. Without a doubt, the high-point this year was the announcement in August by Edwina Hart AM, Welsh Government Minister for Science, Economy and Transport, of the decision to retain the additional train services to Fishguard, which, in her words, ‘demonstrated the Welsh Government’s commitment to listen to the needs of passengers’. Words cannot adequately describe the delight and profound gratitude for this decision that continues to be expressed by members of communities throughout the region and beyond. THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW - SERVICE PROVISION Buses and Community Transport Buses • The PCC website provides information about the comprehensive network of local bus services that operate throughout Pembrokeshire and to adjoining counties.

  • Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.

  • JOSEPH MATTHIAS of HAVERFORDWEST, PEMBROKESHIRE, 1771-1835) Luke Millar
    JOSEPH MATTHIAS OF HAVERFORDWEST, PEMBROKESHIRE, 1771-1835) Luke Millar Although furniture making was the defining activity of the cabinet maker, many regional firms in fact provided a wide range of services to their communities, varying according to the size and location of the firm and the enterprise and skills of its proprietor. It can be misleading to confine one’s investigations to furniture alone, because the relative quality, size and status of the firm is reflected by all its activities. The range of activities found among firms in South West Wales in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, who defined themselves primarily as cabinet makers, covers principally upholstery (including furnishings and room decorations), joinery, building, architecture to at least a minor extent, undertaking, valuing and auctioneering. Occasionally too we find wheelwright and carriage building, timber merchant, and combinations with other businesses such as inkeeper, ironmonger, or grocer. The object of this article is to study the activities of one such firm, comparing it where appropriate with others in the same district and period. Joseph Matthias is well suited for such a study because he had a high status in his community, covered a very wide range of activities including undertaking and carriage building, and worked in a town, Haverfordwest, which was wealthy and displayed high standards in its architecture and cabinet making. In addition, when he retired from cabinet making in 1830 and sold his business, he left an inventory of the whole stock of goods and materials on his premises. This is given in its entirety at the end of this article, and reference will be made to its contents as evidence of the varied nature of his work.
