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 -

In January 2009, the Local Government Minister, Dr Brian Gibbons asked this Commission to review the electoral arrangements in each principal local authority in Wales. Dr Gibbons said: “Conducting regular reviews of the electoral arrangements in each Council in Wales is part of the Commission’s remit. The aim is to try and restore a fairly even spread of councillors across the local population. It is not about local government reorganisation. Since the last reviews were conducted new communities have been created in some areas and there have been shifts in population in others. This means that in some areas there is now an imbalance in the number of electors that councillors represent. -

ROBERT GERAINT GRUFFYDD Robert Geraint Gruffydd 1928–2015
ROBERT GERAINT GRUFFYDD Robert Geraint Gruffydd 1928–2015 GERAINT GRUFFYDD RESEARCHED IN EVERY PERIOD—the whole gamut—of Welsh literature, and he published important contributions on its com- plete panorama from the sixth to the twentieth century. He himself spe- cialised in two periods in particular—the medieval ‘Poets of the Princes’ and the Renaissance. But in tandem with that concentration, he was renowned for his unique mastery of detail in all other parts of the spec- trum. This, for many acquainted with his work, was his paramount excel- lence, and reflected the uniqueness of his career. Geraint Gruffydd was born on 9 June 1928 on a farm named Egryn in Tal-y-bont, Meirionnydd, the second child of Moses and Ceridwen Griffith. According to Peter Smith’sHouses of the Welsh Countryside (London, 1975), Egryn dated back to the fifteenth century. But its founda- tions were dated in David Williams’s Atlas of Cistercian Lands in Wales (Cardiff, 1990) as early as 1391. In the eighteenth century, the house had been something of a centre of culture in Meirionnydd where ‘the sound of harp music and interludes were played’, with ‘the drinking of mead and the singing of ancient song’, according to the scholar William Owen-Pughe who lived there. Owen- Pughe’s name in his time was among the most famous in Welsh culture. An important lexicographer, his dictionary left its influence heavily, even notoriously, on the development of nineteenth-century literature. And it is strangely coincidental that in the twentieth century, in his home, was born and bred for a while a major Welsh literary scholar, superior to him by far in his achievement, who too, for his first professional activity, had started his career as a lexicographer. -

PURPOSE OF REPORT This report describes the work of Glamorgan Archives (GA) for the period 1 December – 29 February. 2. BACKGROUND As part of the agreed reporting process the Glamorgan Archivist updates the Joint Committee quarterly on the work and achievements of the service. Members are asked to note the content of this report. 3. ISSUES A. MANAGEMENT OF RESOURCES 1. Staff Maintain establishment This is the first full quarter with the reduced Access Team. Matthew Coleman’s hours have been extended to help fill the gap while establishment staff are also stepping in until a more stable solution is finalised. With a smaller Management Team and a professional team temporarily reduced by maternity leave it has made sense to combine meetings into a Management Circle. Continue skill sharing programme During the quarter 46 volunteers and work experience placements contributed 1283 hours to the work of the Office. Of these, 28 came from Cardiff, 9 from the Vale of Glamorgan, 6 from Bridgend, 2 from Rhondda Cynon Taf, and 1 from Caerphilly. Tours were provided 7 prospective volunteers and references for work supplied for 2 former volunteers. Students on work experience placements have given positive feedback. Work continues on a range of volunteer projects as outlined in the previous quarter. Volunteers have also started looking at Women’s Institute scrapbooks in more detail. -

It presents and illustrates the findings of: A comprehensive assessment of the current level of provision of accessible natural greenspace across Bridgend County Borough. Data analysis and GIS mapping work. Recommendations for improving provision. This report incorporates the results of extensive research conducted in accordance with the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) ‘Providing Accessible Natural Greenspace in Towns and Cities’ toolkit. The results of the project will be used to provide part of the evidence base for emerging local development plans (LDP) and in setting appropriate local targets for the provision of natural greenspace in accordance with Planning Policy Wales and Draft Technical Advice Note 16 ‘Sport, Recreation and Open Spaces’. The analysis provides an overall picture for Bridgend and also a more localised examination of issues by splitting the Borough into smaller areas (see overleaf for a map of the area covered and analysis areas used). -
