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.

Bridgend County Borough Profile – 2018
Bridgend County Borough Profile – 2018 Introduction Bridgend County Borough is located in the heart of South Wales, centered between the principality’s two main cities; Cardiff to the east and Swansea to the west. The county borough is bordered by Neath Port Talbot to the west and north, Rhondda Cynon Taff also to the north and north east, and by the Vale of Glamorgan to the east. It has an area of about 25,500 hectares and has a population of 143,400 (ONS Population estimate). Extending approximately 20km from east to west, the area encompasses the Ogmore, Garw and Llynfi valleys to the north, and bordering the Bristol Channel to the south. The main commercial centres are Bridgend and Maesteg and the seaside resort of Porthcawl. Bridgend is the largest of these towns and is the administrative centre for the area. The county borough benefits from excellent transportation infrastructure with the M4 motorway crossing the southern part of the county borough in an east-west alignment, providing speedy access to Cardiff, Swansea and the rest of South Wales and beyond. There are three motorway junctions (35 – 37) within the county borough. Additionally, an inter-city high speed rail service linking the area with the whole of the national rail network provides fast and efficient rail transport whilst Cardiff Airport is only 15 miles away. Bridgend is also well connected to the sea ports, with Barry, Cardiff, Port Talbot and Swansea within 30 minutes drive-time. Figure 1 above shows the county borough’s main roads and settlements Support for business in Bridgend County Borough Bridgend County Borough falls within the West Wales and Valleys area for European regional aid purposes. -

FILLING THE GAPS: THE IRON AGE IN CARDIFF AND THE VALE OF GLAMORGAN Abstract Over the last 20 years interpretive approaches within Iron Age studies in Britain have moved from the national to the regional. This was an important development which challenged the notion that a unified, British, Iron Age ever existed. However, whilst this approach has allowed regional histories to be told in their own right there has been far too much focus on ‘key’ areas such as Wessex and Yorkshire. -
