Vale of Glamorgan Council Homelessness Service Directory Vale of Glamorgan Council Homelessness Service Directory February 2004 Introduction The service directory has been developed as part of the development of the Vale of Glamorgan Homelessness Strategy project. The document was first produced in February 2004, and was based upon information provided to the consultants by each organisation, that set out the services they provided at the time, how they can be accessed and who they are targeted at. The directory will be updated every six months by officers of the Council, to ensure that the information contained in the document is up to date and retains its accuracy. The directory has been divided into the following sections: · Accommodation · Information and advice · Support · Access to accommodation services · Prevention services · Other services and resources · National telephone advice lines and web-based sources of information and advice Each section will commence with a brief introduction that explains the organisation of entries in each section. Entries within each section are in alphabetical order of organisation name. 2 Accommodation Introduction This section is unsurprisingly one of the largest. The section lists the housing provided by the council, housing associations and voluntary organisations that own and manage housing in the Vale of Glamorgan. The directory does not provide details of any private landlords who own and manage stock in the Vale of Glamorgan.

  • APPENDIX 2 EXTRACT of REVIEW REPORT – POSITION STATEMENT on JOINT REVIEW Caerphilly County Borough Council Local Development
    APPENDIX 2 EXTRACT OF REVIEW REPORT – POSITION STATEMENT ON JOINT REVIEW Caerphilly County Borough Council Local Development Plan – First Review Caerphilly County Borough Council adopted its LDP in November 2010 and has since been monitoring the progress of the plan through its Annual Monitoring Report (AMR). As a consequence of the findings of the 2013 AMR, the Council resolved to trigger the first full review of the plan in line with LDP Regulation 41. There is no specific guidance on the review process, other than that contained in the Local Development Plan (Wales) Regulations 2005. Procedures for consultation and handling representations on LDP alterations are set out in LDP Wales, paras 4.46 – 4.50. As part of the early stakeholder engagement for the review, a series of stakeholder events has occurred. As a consequence of WG involvement in this process Caerphilly County Borough Council has been advised that appropriate consideration should be given to preparing a Joint LDP with neighbouring authorities, particularly in light of the proposals contained within the Positive Planning Consultation Paper and Draft Planning Bill as outlined above. Consideration has been given to the preparation of a joint review with Torfaen and Blaenau Gwent Councils reflecting the recommendations contained within the Williams Report. This indicates that Caerphilly, Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen could be merged into a single local planning authority. At its meeting on the 29 September 2014, the Council resolved that Caerphilly County Borough Council does not support the idea of a merged authority covering Caerphilly, Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen. The preparation of a joint LDP review does not however require the formal merger of the Councils in question to enable this work to be undertaken.

AD 400–1100 in Wales are still comparatively rare discoveries, although the number is gradually increasing. Apart from elite sites, notably hillforts in the earlier part of the period, they are often only recognized as a result of radiocarbon dating as diagnostic artefacts are usually rare.

  • South Glamorgan County Council Election Results 1973-1993
    South Glamorgan County Council Election Results 1973-1993 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.

Downloaded from Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1983, 58, 586-590 Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in South Glamorgan 1970-9 Effects of changes in feeding practice A R WEBB, J LARI, AND J A DODGE Department of Child Health, Welsh National School of Medicine, Cardiff SUMMARY In a retrospective analysis of cases of surgically confirmed infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) in South Glamorgan in the decade 1970-9 the incidence rose sharply in 1976 reflecting a general increase reported throughout Wales and from other parts of the United Kingdom. The increase was mainly among boys and although it occurred at a time when breast feeding had become more popular, it affected bottle fed infants more than breast fed infants. The apparent correlation between incidence of IHPS and incidence of breast feeding may be coincidental and changes in infant milk formulae that became general in 1976 may be more important. An appreciable excess of first born infants with IHPS was noted but there was no correlation between birthweight and IHPS. Variations according to month of birth did not coincide with true seasonal variation. Although the definitive cause of infantile hyper- thought to be rising-an impression that proved to trophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is unknown, several be correct. predisposing risk factors are associated with the condition.

  • The Romano-British Villa at Abermagwr, Ceredigion: Excavations 2010–15
    Archaeologia Cambrensis 167 (2018), 143–219 The Romano-British villa at Abermagwr, Ceredigion: excavations 2010–15 By JEFFREY L. DAVIES and TOBY DRIVER with contributions by P. J. Casey, R. Coard, C. H. Fletcher, F. Grant, K. Haylock, W. T. Jones, W. H. Manning, D. N. Parsons, J. Price, J. Webster, P. V. Webster Aerial photography during the prolonged drought of July 2006, followed by geophysical survey in 2009, revealed a stone-built, winged corridor villa-style building set within a double-ditched rectangular enclosure at Abermagwr, 1.5 kilometres north-east of Trawscoed Roman fort in Ceredigion in west Wales. Excavation of the site in 2010–11 and 2015 confirmed the site as Ceredigion’s first recorded Romano-British villa comprising at least six rooms, an unfinished heated room being added to the eastern wing, occupied between circa AD 230–330/40 and enclosed by a broadly contemporary double-ditched enclosure. The central and south-western parts of the house were destroyed by fire sometime before the mid fourth century and a series of postholes and later features suggest reuse of the villa ruin at a subsequent date. A special study was undertaken of the roofing material, composed of pentagonal and hexagonal slates made of local shale, notable for retaining an array of original slaters’ marks. The project has also included a community-based element, along with survey and assessment of a number of other sites in the hinterland of the villa. INTRODUCTION Background to excavation and circumstances of the discovery The Abermagwr villa lies towards the northern edge of the Trawscoed lowland basin in north Ceredigion, where the Ystwyth valley widens to form a broad, level gravel basin measuring some 1.7 kilometres by 3.5 kilometres across.
