Vale of Glamorgan Welsh District Council Elections Results 1973-1991 Vale of Glamorgan Welsh District Council Elections Results 1973-1991 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election. The lower graph shows for each main round of local elections the overall percentage turnout (solid line), the percentage of women candidates standing at (dotted line) and the percentage of women among those elected (hashed line).

    Community Profile – Western Vale Introduction For the purposes of the Well-being Assessment and to gain a better understanding of our communities in the Vale of Glamorgan we have divided the area in to three communities, Barry, Western Vale and Eastern Vale. These community profiles have been developed to complement the Vale of Glamorgan profile and we will continue to enhance these profiles as part of our ongoing engagement through the Public Services Board. The profile brings together a range of information about the area including population data, details of projects and assets within the community, it is not intended to be a directory of services but provides some key information about the area The purpose of this community profile is to provide information with regards to key statistics and projects in the area and to highlight the many assets within the Vale of Glamorgan, ranging from natural assets, community groups and services. It is intended that further work will be undertaken to enhance the community profiles for the Vale of Glamorgan and each of the three community areas, Barry, the Eastern Vale and the Western Vale. This will include key findings from across the assessment for the community and where possible identification of gaps and areas for improvement. Feedback on the profiles is welcome so that they can continue to be developed as an important resource for the area and evidence base for the work of the Public Services Board. 1 This community profile focuses on the Western Vale as detailed in the map below and the area is made up of the following wards: St.

Welcome to Cardiff! Dear Conference delegate, I’d like to welcome you to this 63rd Conference of the Political Studies Association, held in Cardiff for the first time and hosted by the University of Cardiff. We are expecting over 600 delegates, representing over 80 different countries, to join us at Cardiff’s historic City Hall. The conference theme is ‘The Party’s Over?’; are the assumptions that have underpinned political life and political analysis sustainable? This subject will most certainly be explored during our Plenary Session ‘Leveson and the Future of Political Journalism’, a debate that has enormous ramifications for the future of UK politics. We will bring together some of the most passionate and eloquent voices on this topic; Chris Bryant MP, Trevor Kavanagh, Mick Hume and Professor Brian Cathcart. This year’s Government and Opposition- sponsored Leonard Schapiro lecture will be given by Professor Donatella Della Porta, who will consider the issue of political violence, the new editor of the American Political Science Review, Professor John Ishiyama, will discuss ‘The Future of Political Science’ and the First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones AM, will address attendees at the conference dinner.
