  • Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy
    Environment Directorate Contaminated Land Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy Revision 4 | February 2013 Foreward This Contaminated Land Strategy describes how Flintshire County Council is required to identify sites within its administrative control that may be affected by land contamination. The document also explains the statutory guidance, legislative provisions, processes and procedures that the Council will follow in order to investigate those sites, to identify statutorily Contaminated Land where necessary and to remediate Contaminated Land. The Council first published its Contaminated Land Strategy in September 2002. Since then a number of investigations to assess land contamination have been carried out and significant changes to legislation and guidance documents have taken place. This revision of the Strategy has taken these changes into account and amendments have been made where necessary. This revision of the Strategy replaces all previous revisions of Flintshire County Council’s Contaminated Land Strategy. Flintshire County Council Environment Directorate Public Protection Pollution Control Section Phase 4 County Hall Mold Flintshire CH7 6NH Contaminated Land Strategy Revision 4 February 20 Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy 2 Executive Summary Land can be affected by contamination in the environment as a result of human activity and as a result of natural processes. The presence of contamination may cause harm or present risks to health, animals, buildings or the environment. However, just because contamination is present does not mean that the land is Contaminated Land or that there is a problem. On 1st July 2001, legislation requiring land contamination to be investigated and addressed was enacted in Wales. The legislation is known as Part IIa of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and it introduced a detailed way by which land contamination could be regulated.

  • Public Library Service Annual Report 2019 to 2020: Flintshire , File Type
    Welsh Public Library Standards 2017-2020: Flintshire County Council (Aura) Annual Assessment Report 2019/20 This report has been prepared based on information provided in Flintshire’s annual return, case studies and narrative report submitted to the Culture and Sport Division of the Welsh Government. 1 Executive summary Flintshire met all of the 12 core entitlements in full. Of the 9 quality indicators which have targets, Flintshire achieved 8 in full, and 1 in part. Library services in Flintshire are delivered by Aura Leisure and Libraries Ltd. on behalf of the local authority. The service has largely maintained its position in the three years of the framework and Flintshire is one of only three local authorities to achieve 8 of the quality indicators in full and 1 in part. Flintshire is also one of only five services to meet the acquisitions target (QI 9) and has the highest expenditure on information resources/materials across Wales. As a result, the decline is usage and visits is disappointing, especially given the strong customer engagement and community focus of the service. Although there have been no significant changes to staffing levels since 2017/18, the total number of qualified staff is in the bottom quartile in Wales. It is noted by the service that there is a commitment to retain services and staffing at their current levels. All static libraries continue to provide the full range of support for individual development, with health and well-being also well-supported. There has been a 75% increase in the number of reading groups in place since 2018/19.

    Protecting the Water Vole Conservation efforts in the Clwydian Range Where the hills meet the sea Countryside a stone’s throw away from the coast A Guide to the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Welcome to ‘Capturing the Clwydian Range’ Welcome to the latest edition of Capturing the Clwydian Range, the definitive guide for those looking to learn more about the history, attractions and beauty of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The AONB stretches from its northern edge at Prestatyn, down the spine of Flintshire and Denbighshire to the outskirts of Ruthin and Mold, taking in numerous countryside communities that all add a unique quality to the Clwydian Range. The hills can be seen from far and wide, from the North West of Wales and from the Cheshire Plains and the populated areas of Wirral and Merseyside. It’s not a surprise that over half a million of visitors make the journey to the Clwydian Range for that special day out or a holiday in one of Wales’ most naturally scenic areas. There are many organisations involved in managing and protecting the Clwydian Range for future generations. The hills are steeped in history, rich geology and wildlife which needs protecting. This cannot be done without the support of local landowners, businesses, visitors and volunteers. So what is there to do and see in the Clwydian Range? For a start there are country parks at Loggerheads and Moel Famau that offer miles upon miles of interesting walks, activities for the whole family and contents opportunities for volunteering.
