Go Full Circle seeks to raise awareness of social enterprises and highlight their value to the communities they serve. As part of the campaign launch, some of Wales’ best known musicians entertained locals at the Fic in a birthday celebration of its success over the last twenty-five years. Run by the Wales Co-operative Centre, Go Full Circle aims to show that social enterprises provide essential services in nearly every community, not least in some of Wales’ most deprived areas. They’re varied in nature, and can act as catalysts for community regeneration and hubs for development in fields including health, leisure, welfare, education and skills. Tafarn y Fic director Bleddyn Jones says: “There’s no doubt Tafarn y Fic has given confidence to the whole area. Seeing a Welsh business thrive is encouraging for people and there is a great deal of goodwill in the area towards what’s happening here.” Research has shown that social enterprises are actually outperforming some mainstream businesses, with 63% anticipating that turnover will increase over a two to three year period, compared with 37% of traditional SMEs. The Co-operative Centre’s chief executive, Derek Walker stresses the importance of the Campaign in highlighting the potential of community ventures: “Raising awareness of the existence and contribution of social enterprises and co-operatives like Tafarn y Fic in Wales will be key to increasing their number, sustainability and growth in the future.” Tafarn y Fic is renowned as a premier venue for Welsh language music in the area, and its birthday celebrations were marked by a concert starring artists that have supported the pub over the last quarter of a century. To ensure that the party went with a swing, singers Meic Stevens, Tecwyn Ifan and Geraint Lovegreen, together with folk-rock band Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog, all stepped up to the mic. www.supportsocialenterprise.org.uk / www.tafarnyfic.com New Management Courses As part of the Elevate Cymru project, three new management training courses are on offer in November 2013.

  • Zones of Influence
    Eryri Local Development Plan Background Paper 21 Zones of Influence May 2017 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 Introduction The Authority has identified eight ‘Zones of influence’ which are within and straddle the National Park. These areas have similar characteristics and have strong community links. The work on the Zones of Influence draws on a wide range of surveys and related national, regional and local plans and strategies discussed in the Spatial Development Strategy Background Paper. The paper identifies key centres within each zone of influence and recognises the influences of key centres outside the Park to inform the Spatial Development Strategy. The paper identifies key transport routes, key employment areas, and further education and key services for each zone. The paper discusses the main issues for each zone individually, the implications for the Local Development Plan and how the issues are addressed in the Plan. 2 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 1.1. BALA ZONE OF INFLUENCE 3 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 What’s it like now? 1.2. This zone covers Penllyn rural hinterland covering the community councils of Llanuwchllyn, Llandderfel, Llangywer, Llanycil and Bala and has a population of 4,362 according to the 2011 Census. The landscape is rural in character with scattered farmsteads and small villages. The zone includes Llyn Tegid (the largest natural lake in Wales), Llyn Celyn, Arenig Fawr and parts of the Aran Fawddwy. The main service centre for the area is the market town of Bala. Penllyn has strong traditions based on the Welsh language and culture.

    Background Paper 13: Community Infrastructure 13 February Gwynedd & Môn Joint Local Development Plan 2015 [Type text] Topic Paper 13: Infrastructure Background This is one of a range of topic papers prepared to offer more detailed information and explain the approach of the Plan to different topics and issues affecting the Joint Local Development Plan Area. This paper will look specifically at community infrastructure. It will explain the background which will help to identify the issues, objectives and options for the Deposit Plan. The Deposit Plan is the second statutory stage in the preparation of the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP). The JLDP shapes the future growth of communities in the Joint Local Development Plan Area and will set out the policies and land allocations against which planning applications will be assessed. The Deposit Plan will be submitted to the Welsh Government, which will appoint an independent inspector to assess the soundness of the Plan in the Examination in Public. If the inspector considers the Plan to be sound it will be recommended for adoption. When adopted the JLDP will supersede the Gwynedd Unitary Development Plan (2009) for the Gwynedd Local Planning Authority Area and the Gwynedd Structure Plan (1993) and Ynys Môn Local Plan (1996) for the Ynys Môn Local Planning Authority. This topic paper can be read in isolation or in conjunction with the other Topic Papers and Background Papers that have been prepared to give a full picture the Joint Local Development Plan Area. You may refer to the Topic Paper as a basis for making comments about the Deposit Plan.

  • Appendix I the Review of Designated Landscapes in Wales Stage One Recommendations
    Appendix i The Review of Designated Landscapes in Wales Stage One Recommendations The panel now reports all of its recommendations with regard to the question of a single designation and upon the considerations with regard to the statutory purposes. These have been arrived at after extensive evidence gathering from members of the public, stakeholders; agencies and organisations from inside and outside of Wales. We have undertaken a careful and detailed examination and independent assessment of this evidence. The panel makes six recommendations: Recommendation 1 We recommend that there should not be a single designation. Recommendation 2 We recommend that there is ONE set of statutory Purposes and an associated single statutory Duty for both designations. Recommendation 3 We recommend changing the name of “Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty” (AONBs) to “National Landscapes of Wales” 166 Recommendation 4 We recommend the establishment of a consistent and resilient nomenclature as well as structure, including: “The National Designated Landscapes of Wales” “National Parks” and “National Landscapes” which are “The Equivalent Designations” The Equivalent Designations would possess Identical Statutory Purposes & Duties Recommendation 5 We recommend there should be THREE interlocking statutory purposes for both the National Parks and National Landscapes. These are: “To conserve and enhance the distinctive landscape and seascape qualities of the area1,” (the Conservation Purpose) “To promote physical and mental well-being through the enjoyment and understanding of the landscape of the area,” (the Human Well-being Purpose) “To promote sustainable forms of natural resource management and economic and community development which support the cultural heritage of the area.” (the Sustainable Resource Management Purpose) 1 Where ‘landscape’ incorporates the total natural environment of the area, together with its biodiversity, human settlements and cultural aspects.
