INTRODUCTION 1.1 We, the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales (the Commission), have completed the review of part of the boundary between the County Boroughs of Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taff in the area of the Communities of Gilfach Goch and Ogmore Valley and present our proposals. 2. SCOPE AND OBJECT OF THE REVIEW 2.1 The section of boundary under review separates the County Boroughs of Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taff in the area of the Communities of Ogmore Valley and Gilfach Goch, in particular where it divides the settlements of Evanstown and Gilfach Goch. We have undertaken the review following requests to us that suggested that the existing boundary is unsatisfactory. Historically the boundary separated the districts of Ogwr and Taff Ely, both of which were within the former county of Mid Glamorgan. The purpose of the review was to consider whether, in the interests of effective and convenient local government, the Commission should propose changes to the present boundary. The review was conducted under the provisions of Section 55(1) of the Local Government Act 1972. 2.2 Section 54(1) of the Local Government Act 1972 (the Act) provides that the Commission may in consequence of a review conducted by them make proposals to the National Assembly for Wales for effecting changes appearing to the Commission desirable in the interests of effective and convenient local government. Procedure 2.3 Section 60 of the 1972 Act lays down procedural guidelines which are to be followed in carrying out a review. In line with that guidance we wrote, on 7th July 1998, to Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Councils, Ogmore Valley and Gilfach Goch Community Councils, the Members of Parliament for the local constituencies, the local authority associations, the police authority for the area and political parties to inform them of our intention to conduct the review and to request their preliminary views. We invited the County Borough Councils to submit suggestions for changes to the boundary. We also publicised our intention to conduct the review in local newspapers circulating in the area and asked the councils to display public notices. 3. DRAFT PROPOSALS 3.1 We received representations from Bridgend County Borough Council; Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council; Ogmore Valley Community Council; Gilfach Goch Community Council; South Wales Police Authority; and the Headteacher of the Primary School in Evanstown. These representations were taken into consideration and summarised in our Draft Proposals published on 12 March 1999. 3.2 Our Draft Proposals recommended that the boundary between the County Boroughs of Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taff be realigned so as to include the community ward of Evanstown within the area of Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough. The proposed change to the boundary was shown on the map within the report. 3.3 Copies of the Draft Proposals were sent to all the councils, bodies and individuals referred to in paragraph 2.3 seeking their views. A copy was also sent to anyone who had submitted preliminary comments. By public notice we also invited any other organisation or person with an interest in the review to submit their views. Copies of the Draft Proposals were made available for inspection at the offices of Bridgend County Borough Council, Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council and the Commission and were also deposited at the offices of the South Wales Police Authority. 4. SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS RECEIVED IN RESPONSE TO THE DRAFT PROPOSALS 4.1 We received representations from Bridgend County Borough Council; Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council; Gilfach Goch Community Council; Ogmore Valley Community Council; Sir Raymond Powell MP; four councillors; and six other interested bodies and residents. All of these representations were considered carefully before formulating our proposals. 4.2 Bridgend County Borough Council was concerned that any proposals to define the boundary at this stage of the review were premature and that there had been no detailed investigation of public opinion within the areas affected. The Council urged the Commission to undertake such an exercise at the earliest opportunity and that this exercise should include both public meetings and a referendum. 4.3 Gilfach Goch Community Council reported that they had attended public meetings and met with delegates from the Ogmore Valley Community Council, and Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Councils. The Community Council understood that when this process started the wishes of the people in Gilfach Goch and Evanstown would be sought and given consideration. Indeed this was seen as a main priority. It would seem that the Commission in reaching its proposals had given its priorities to a local organisation e.g. South Wales Police, in what would be convenient for them for effective local government. The Community Council believed that there were no problems or obstacles that unity might bring, that could not be overcome by either Bridgend or Rhonnda Cynon Taff County Borough Councils in what could possibly be considered to be effective and convenient of this small community. In reaching an unanimous decision on the proposals as set by the Commission, the Community Council concluded that: ‘The democratic wishes of the people of Gilfach Goch and Evanstown, under which local authority they wish to be governed, must be sought by a ballot and given priority over other establishments. Failure to do this would mean that the status quo remains, and the Communities of Gilfach Goch and Evanstown should remain exactly as they are.’ In a later letter, the Council said that they had received reports from residents in Evanstown that the Commission intended to obtain informed questionnaires from them prior to preparation of their final proposals. The Council hoped that the Commission would consider giving the residents within Rhondda Cynon Taff the same consideration before reaching their final decision. 4.4 Ogmore Valley Community Council had considered the draft proposals report and had held two meetings of the residents of Evanstown to seek public opinion. The meetings were well attended and indicated that residents would wish to remain within Bridgend County Borough. The residents had an affinity with Bridgend as a town for shopping and many other essential services. The town is considered to be easily accessible by a linked bus service. The Community Council felt that Rhondda Cynon Taff was already an extremely large borough and that further extension may put greater strain on the resources available. The Community Council suggested that the wishes of the residents of Evanstown be taken into account by a referendum, or other consultation process deemed appropriate by the Commission. 4.5 Sir Raymond Powell MP for Ogmore wrote to advise the Commission that following consultation with the residents of the Evanstown area he had been informed that the majority were not happy with the change to the boundary and were even more unhappy that there will be no referendum to decide the matter. He said that a referendum had been talked about some time ago but appeared not to be forthcoming. He mentioned that the residents of Evanstown were organising a petition. Sir Raymond urged the Commission to review the proposals and offer the residents a referendum so that they will have a voice in the decision making. 4.6 County Borough Councillor H Clive Davies and three community councillors, the elected representatives of Evanstown, said that they had consulted with the community at two public meetings about the review of the boundary. The result being "that the status quo remains", because of the failure of public consultation by the Commission, until adequate public consultation takes place, this is the view of both public meetings. 4.7 South Wales Police Authority noted that the Commission had taken account of their initial comments and had no further observations. 4.8 Ordnance Survey had no comments to make about the Commission’s draft proposals. 4.9 A resident submitted a petition with 477 signatures, which demanded a referendum in Evanstown. 4.10 A resident supported the draft proposals. He said it was overdue that Evanstown and Gilfach Goch should be united under one local authority preferable Rhondda Cynon Taff. 4.11 A resident protested at the lack of consultation with residents about the review of the boundary and listed the following points of view:- agreed that one authority should cover the whole area and all residents of Gilfach Goch (Evanstown is a part of Gilfach Goch) should be consulted on which authority that should be. He wished to draw the Commission’s attention to the fact that not all residents are happy with levels of services provided by current authorities and perhaps his suggestions would reflect residents’ opinions. 4.12 A resident described the historical problems encountered by the people of Evanstown and also referred to the current financial problems of Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council. He said Gilfach Goch had always been on the shirt-tail of whatever authority served it, and no matter which authority it ends up in the situation will not change dramatically. Never the less the residents would like the opportunity to choose whose shirt-tail they are on. 4.13 A public meeting was held on 24 March 1999 at the Community Hall in Evanstown to discuss the Commission’s Draft Proposals.

  • 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.

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.
