  • 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. The Open Access version of this book, available at www.tandfebooks.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license.

  • Station of the Year
    Community Radio Awards – Station of the year Introduction: Bro Radio is the local community radio station for the Vale of Glamorgan, the southern most county in Wales. At the heart of its area is one of the largest Towns in Wales, Barry, best known for its coastal resort – the home of Gavin and Stacey, with a bustling high street featured in a list of the top in the country. The south of the county features some of the best beaches in Europe to the west of Barry, with a Victorian Seaside town to the east. The seaside towns and villages are surrounded by large areas of fields, farming land and industrial units, surrounding a former military base which is now home to Aston Martin – all of which makes for a diverse population that the station serves. Bro Radio’s service is delivered by a team of 60 local volunteers, all of whom live, work and love the County we serve. The station delivers local radio service, focusing on all of the community – being largely music led, with local interviews, content and news featuring throughout. Its daytime music policies help it target a core demographic of 25 – 54 years olds, with specialist programming during evenings and weekends catering to Welsh language speakers, sports fans and those who love music from Rock, Reggae, RnB, Classical, Musicals, Country and everything in between. Bro Radio has served our community since 2009 and despite the pandemic, the last twelve months have been our biggest yet. The station has increased coverage, increased its local news content and through lockdown delivered some of its most exciting, engaging and informative content yet.

  • Local Development Plan Draft Review (LDP2: 2017 – 2033) Strategic Housing Options Supplementary Paper Defining Settlement Clusters
    Local Development Plan Draft Review (LDP2: 2017 – 2033) Strategic Housing Options Supplementary Paper Defining Settlement Clusters 1. Introduction This paper has been prepared to assist the review of the Local Development Plan and specifically relates to the potential approach to Settlement Clusters discussed within the ‘Strategic Housing Options Paper’. That paper will assist in identifying alternative options for future housing development within urban and rural areas of the County outside of the National Park. The Authority is currently working towards establishing a Preferred Strategy and is preparing a draft vision and objectives for the Plan. These will be available for public consultation Summer 2018. A range of information has been gathered about services available at individual settlements, which is set out in the Rural Facilities Paper 2017. The information gathered allows us to understand the role and function currently performed by settlements and is used to inform the settlement hierarchy for the LDP review. The purpose of this supplementary paper is to set out an approach to settlement clusters at the lower end of the settlement hierarchy. Settlements at the lower end of the settlement hierarchy are called Large Local Villages and Small Local Villages within the Local Development Plan hierarchy. (They are proposed as ‘Local Villages’ within the Rural Facilities Paper). This paper is not intended to set out locations where development can take place, but to identify a clear methodology for clusters of settlements, and taking account of the settlement hierarchy established as part of the LDP2 Review and published within the Rural Facilities Background Paper 2017. It is supplementary to the Strategic Housing Options Paper where the rural housing option of Clusters is considered along with other options for housing at Local Villages.

    FORESTRY @BANGOR ALUMNI 2020 Newsletter FORESTRY @BANGOR ALUMNI 2020 Newsletter Welcome from the Vice-Chancellor I am delighted to present to you a fantastic collation of just some of the many highlights relating to forestry at Bangor University over the past two years. In many ways, forestry epitomises the spirit of Bangor University: a bold, traditional, international and dynamic university. Perhaps what strikes me most about this newsletter is the incredible achievements of our students who take such pride in, and responsibility for, their own learning through the Bangor Forestry Students’ Association. It is a very rare student society that has the ambition to successfully take on the hosting a nine-day international meeting of forestry students and professionals! In time, current students will transform into alumni and young professionals with the capacity to make hugely positive contributions to society, to livelihoods, to biodiversity and to the health of our planet. And as measured by the achievements of our many alumni from the forestry and related programmes, the bar has been set very high, providing us all with inspiration and ambition. We are indebted to alumni for their generous and unconditional support. Yours, Professor Iwan R. Davies, President and Vice-Chancellor COVER PHOTO: Nepal 2019.

    CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD COUNCIL: 31 JANUARY 2013 REPORT OF CHIEF LEGAL & DEMOCRATIC SERVICES OFFICER & MONITORING OFFICER AGENDA ITEM: APPOINTMENT OF LOCAL AUTHORITY, PARENT AND STAFF SCHOOL GOVERNORS TO NEW TEMPORARY GOVERNING BODY Reason for this Report 1. To appoint Local Authority, Parent and Staff School Governors to a new temporary governing body for the New School in the East of Cardiff. Background 2. The New Maintained Schools (Wales) Regulations 2005 state that where any proposals to establish a maintained school have been published under any enactment, the local authority may make arrangements to appoint Governors to Temporary Governing Bodies under Section 34 of the 2002 Act in anticipation of the approval of the proposals or in anticipation of a determination by the authority that the proposals should be implemented. The Council’s Cabinet at its meeting of 6th December 2012, has accepted a number of recommendations on improving standards in education in the East of Cardiff, including the following: • To create a single high school in the East. This is following an earlier consultation undertaken in January 2012 and recommends publishing a Statutory Notice to formally close Llanrumney and Rumney High Schools from August 2014 to create one single school. Subject to the outcome of the Statutory Notice, the new school would begin its life on the existing Rumney site until brand new premises can be opened in 2016. A further consultation with the community will be held in the New Year to decide where the new school should be built. • A temporary governing body for the proposed replacement school to be established that would secure the appointment of a Headteacher for the new school to take up post from September 2013.
