  • Town Tree Cover in Bridgend County Borough
    1 Town Tree Cover in Bridgend County Borough Understanding canopy cover to better plan and manage our urban trees 2 Foreword Introducing a world-first for Wales is a great pleasure, particularly as it relates to greater knowledge about the hugely valuable woodland and tree resource in our towns and cities. We are the first country in the world to have undertaken a country-wide urban canopy cover survey. The resulting evidence base set out in this supplementary county specific study for Bridgend County Borough will help all of us - from community tree interest groups to urban planners and decision-makers in local Emyr Roberts Diane McCrea authorities and our national government - to understand what we need to do to safeguard this powerful and versatile natural asset. Trees are an essential component of our urban ecosystems, delivering a range of services to help sustain life, promote well-being, and support economic benefits. They make our towns and cities more attractive to live in - encouraging inward investment, improving the energy efficiency of buildings – as well as removing air borne pollutants and connecting people with nature. They can also mitigate the extremes of climate change, helping to reduce storm water run-off and the urban heat island. Natural Resources Wales is committed to working with colleagues in the Welsh Government and in public, third and private sector organisations throughout Wales, to build on this work and promote a strategic approach to managing our existing urban trees, and to planting more where they will

Background 1.3 Currently in the Garw Valley as with all other areas in Bridgend, sports and community groups are considering the transfer of sports and community venues and assets from the Council, through the Community Asset Transfer (CAT) process. 1.4 Some of the assets within the Garw Valley are in a poor state of repair and well below an acceptable standard. The cost of repairing and maintaining these assets is beyond the reach of many of the sport and community groups and therefore a potential solution is being sought to ensure that sporting and community activities are not lost. 1.5 To support the CAT process, Reach has already produced a ‘Rural Community Asset Transfer Toolkit’ which provides groups with a step by step guide to asset transfer and also commissioned a report ‘Review of Sustainable Community Venues and Assets in Bridgend County Borough’, which provides a detailed understanding of the issues faced by groups who both currently are or are considering managing/owning/leasing community facilities.

  • 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.

  • SD92 Landscape Working for Bridgend County Borough Volume
    Landscapes Working for Bridgend County Borough Volume 3 - Action Programme March 2008 _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ LANDSCAPES WORKING FOR BRIDGEND COUNTY BOROUGH ACTION PROGRAMME 2008 1. Introduction 1.1 The Action Programme forms the fourth phase of the review of the Landscapes Working for Bridgend County Borough Action Plan Document. The phases comprise of: Phase I – Compilation of Short List of sites Phase II – Prioritisation Phase III - WAG Sustainability Check Phase IV – Preparation of Action Programme. Table 1 lists those sites short-listed for inclusion in the action plan. Their location is identified in Figure 1 below. Figure 1 Site Locations 2. Background 2.1 The document Landscapes Working for Bridgend County Borough was originally published in 1997 by Opus Environmental Design. However the Action Programme that formed Volume 3 of the study is now considered outdated and has required updating. The list of priority projects has evolved from the original LW for B document with additional sites being included that have originated from meetings held between Groundwork, officers of Bridgend County Borough Council and Welsh Assembly Government during the year 2006. The prioritisation exercise formed phases 1 and 2 of the Landscapes Working for Bridgend project. This report forms part of the WAG (DEIN) funded Bridgend Environment Programme. 3. Objectives 3.1 The Action Programme details the key proposals with priority and feasibility ratings, outline cost estimates and yearly expenditure profiles. 3.2 The Action Programme is to be used to inform the Local Authority’s Environmental Improvement Programme and has therefore been prepared with regard to the Local Authority’s existing policies and ongoing schemes.
