    DLG 22 Ymchwiliad i amrywiaeth ym maes llywodraeth leol Inquiry into diversity in local government Ymateb gan: Electoral Reform Society Response from: Electoral Reform Society Introduction Earlier this year ERS Cymru published ‘New Voices’ a report looking at the barriers to diversity across Welsh politics. The report examined UK Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and Welsh local government in turn, assessing the unique circumstances in each which halt gender equality and greater diversity generally being reached. As part of this work on local government we have assessed the current makeup of Welsh local authorities, following last year’s local elections, surveyed elected representatives in Wales with 224 councillors responding and undertook in depth interviews with key figures in local authorities in Wales, including Debbie Wilcox, Leader of Newport Council and the WLGA, Rodney Berman, Councillor and former Leader of Cardiff Council and Yvonne Jardine of Swansea Council. The full report can be found here: https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/latest-news-and- research/publications/new-voices-how-welsh-politics-can-begin-to-reflect-wales/ 1. Understanding the importance of diversity among local councillors, including the effect on public engagement, debate and decision making. 1.1. At present just 28% of Wales’ councillors are women. In two local authorities in Wales there are no women at all in the cabinet. Only 30% of candidates in last year’s election were women, with a third of wards having no women standing at all.1 1.2. In our survey, which 224 councillors undertook we asked for a range of information including age, sexual orientation and ethnicity in addition to gender.

  • A (Very Personal) History of Barnet and District AC

    A (Very Personal) History of Barnet and District AC

    A (very personal) history of Barnet and District AC In early 2017 the club magazine Editor wrote to me, saying: “I'd like there to be some things in the next issue relating to the club's 50 anniversary/history etc. Would you be able/willing to contribute something?” Without hesitation I said yes, and here it is. I have chosen to write three parallel intertwined stories. They are the main points in the development of the club in the early years, illustrated with some results and reports from those days from the relevant club magazines, and interspersed with some observations on my own short running career once I arrived on the scene (thankfully for you that was not until 1982!). There are thousands of results and reports, and I have tried to select items of interest and/or relevance. I have tried to not dwell on, or comment too often on, the ‘but things were different/better in them days’ aspect of athletics. I leave you to interpret the content as you wish. Considerable license has been taken in editing down mag reports to their core detail. STEVE CHILTON (with thanks to Brian Fowler and all the club magazine editors) 1 Early days Barnet and District AC was formed in 1967, after a merger of Hampstead Harriers with Barnet AC. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find copies of the club mags from the years before 1974, so the first 6 years are something of a mystery (I copied all Brian Strong’s club mags from 1973 onwards a while ago, at the time I was editor, as he was editor for many of the early years).

    CYNGOR CAERDYDD CARDIFF COUNCIL COUNCIL 24 OCTOBER 2019 AMENDMENT 1 TO MOTION 2 Proposed by Councillor Rodney Berman Seconded by Councillor Nigel Howells Remove full stop after “green assets” at end of motion and add: “; and in order to ensure that this does not adversely impact on the ability to address future housing need, lobby the Welsh Government to introduce greater flexibility in the planning framework and relevant Welsh planning policies to enable such need to be addressed and met on a more regional basis across local authorities in the wider region with less reliance on individual local authorities having to assess and plan for future housing need in isolation within their own boundaries.” Amended Motion would read: According to Planning Policy Wales Edition 10 (December 2018), the essential difference between a green wedge and a Green Belt is, “…that land within a Green Belt should be protected for a longer period than the relevant current development plan period, whereas green wedge policies should be reviewed as part of the development plan review process.” This Council notes: The current Local Development Plan will expire in 2026. That the green wedge protection to the North of Cardiff, stretching from Creigiau to St Mellons will be reviewed as part of the next LDP. That the National Development Framework Consultation Draft states: “The Welsh Government supports the use of green belts in the South East region in managing and planning urban growth.

    Cardiff September 2018

    Inclusive Cities: City Action Plan – Cardiff September 2018 We are Cardiff Cardiff connects Wales to the world. It is our openness to business, investment, events, but most importantly, to people and ideas, that have made our city what it is today. Modern Cardiff is a city characterised by the diversity of our people and we have even been dubbed ‘the town that pioneered multiculturalism’. Migration, both past and present, has delivered talent, ambition and culture to our city. It is this which helped to create our thriving, open and global Welsh capital. By embodying the welcoming Welsh spirit and sense of community, Cardiff has risen as the economic engine of Wales and a competitive player on the global stage. It is not a coincidence that we’re currently the fastest growing core city in the UK: Cardiff is a city of both opportunity and community. We offer the best of both worlds, close-knit yet cosmopolitan. The Cardiff story is one of inviting the world to be a part of this community, working side-by-side and prospering together. Together, let’s continue this proud tradition. So, whether you, your parents, or your grandparents, were born in Ely, Blaenau Gwent, London, Paris, Delhi, Barcelona or Mogadishu, remember that you help make Cardiff and we are all Cardiffians. Priority area 1: Social value and inclusive growth How this supports the strategic priorities of the city: Ensuring that new arrivals are included in measures to prepare residents for a changing labour market so our Capital Ambition & Inclusive Growth vision encom- passes all residents and delivers meaningful action to reduce inequality in Cardiff.
