Introduction 1.1 The City and County of Swansea (LA) has proposed the closure of Pennard Library in order to rationalise the library network and deliver budgetary savings of c. £36,400 per annum out of the LA’s budget. 1.2 The LA is also exploring the viability of other options: for example, a volunteer led service and housing the library either in the existing building, the community centre or the school (see Steve Hardman’s EIA report and 8.10). 2. The LA’s Rationale for Closing Pennard Library 2.1 The LA followed the decision making process below in ear-marking Pennard for closure: • Three libraries were identified as having dilapidated building stock: Pennard (category D), Sketty (category D) and Fforestfach (category C). See 4.5 for the report’s comments on this; • The LA then proposed that Pennard should close, as based on their calculations it had lower footfall than Sketty and Fforestfach. However, these figures do not take into account population density, which shows Pennard far more favourably than Sketty and Fforestfach. (See appendix 1a. for the relevant data.) The LA believed that there would be a “lower impact” on the Gower community if Pennard closed. 3. The Context of Pennard Library 3.1 Pennard Library is the only library on the Gower Peninsula. It serves a rural community, which is already deprived (in the bottom

  • Swansea 1995-2012
    Swansea Welsh Unitary Council Election Results 1995-2012 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.
