People, Places and Policy
People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

Railway and Canal Historical Society Early Railway Group
RAILWAY AND CANAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY EARLY RAILWAY GROUP Occasional Paper 251 BENJAMIN HALL’S TRAMROADS AND THE PROMOTION OF CHAPMAN’S LOCOMOTIVE PATENT Stephen Rowson, with comment from Andy Guy Stephen Rowson writes - Some year ago I had access to some correspondence originally in the Llanover Estate papers and made this note from within a letter by Benjamin Hall to his agent John Llewellin, dated 7 March 1815: Chapman the Engineer called on me today. He says one of their Engines will cost about £400 & 30 G[uinea]s per year for his Patent. He gave a bad account of the Collieries at Newcastle, that they do not clear 5 per cent. My original thoughts were of Chapman looking for business by hawking a working model of his locomotive around the tramroads of south Wales until I realised that Hall wrote the letter from London. So one assumes the meeting with William Chapman had taken place in the city rather than at Hall’s residence in Monmouthshire. No evidence has been found that any locomotive ran on Hall’s Road until many years later after it had been converted from a horse-reliant tramroad. Did any of Chapman’s locomotives work on south Wales’ tramroads? __________________________________ Andy Guy comments – This is a most interesting discovery which raises a number of issues. In 1801, Benjamin Hall, M.P. (1778-1817) married Charlotte, daughter of the owner of Cyfarthfa ironworks, Richard Crawshay, and was to gain very considerable industrial interests from his father- in-law.1 Hall’s agent, John Llewellin, is now better known now for his association with the Trevithick design for the Tram Engine, the earliest surviving image of a railway locomotive.2 1 Benjamin Hall was the son of Dr Benjamin Hall (1742–1825) Chancellor of the diocese of Llandaff, and father of Sir Benjamin Hall (1802-1867), industrialist and politician, supposedly the origin of the nickname ‘Big Ben’ for Parliament’s clock tower (his father was known as ‘Slender Ben’ in Westminster). -

Church in Wales Review July 2012
Church in Wales Review July 2012 The September 2010 meeting of the Governing Body was notable for the number of contributions from members with a common message: “The Church in Wales cannot go on doing the same things in the same way; some things need to change and we are open to – and indeed encourage – that possibility”. The Standing Committee and Bench of Bishops responded to this call by appointing an external review of the Church, with particular reference to its structures and use of resources, to increase the effectiveness of the Church’s ministry and witness. The Review Group’s members are prominent thinkers with a blend of experience in dealing with matters ecclesiastical and organisational: Lord Harries of Pentregarth, the former Bishop of Oxford; Professor Charles Handy, the eminent writer and adviser on business and organisational theory (and son of a Church of Ireland archdeacon); and Professor Patricia Peattie, former Convenor of the Scottish Episcopal Church’s Standing Committee and the first chairwoman of the Lothian University Hospitals NHS Trust. The aim was to commission a review that could move quickly to gather and assimilate information about the state of the Church in Wales, then provide independent advice on how the Church might reshape itself to be more effective in the twenty-first century. Given the extent of its members’ other commitments, the Review Group has pursued its task with extraordinary vigour and dedication. The Group determined its own approach and programme. It has visited every diocese in Wales, meeting with the Bishop and Diocesan team in each and holding an open meeting for Church members to express their views. -

If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication Rethinking the changing structures of rural local government - state power, rural politics and local political strategies? Abstract: There is a notable absence in contemporary rural studies - of both a theoretical and empirical nature - concerning the changing nature of rural local government. Despite the scale and significance of successive rounds of local government reorganisation in the UK, very little has been written on this topic from a rural perspective. Instead research on local political change has tended to concentrate on local governance and local partnerships – on the extra-governmental aspects of the governance system – rather than on local government itself. In contrast, this paper draws upon strategic relational state theory to explore the changing structures and institutions of rural local government, and analyse how these can be related to the changing state strategies of those groups which are politically powerful in rural areas. In this respect, the paper draws on current and previous rounds of local government reorganisation to illustrate how new objects of governance, new state strategies and new hegemonic projects are emerging as a consequence of such restructuring processes. -

Parish Share Calculation That the Average Attendee Figure Noted Within Your Annual Return Is Accu- Rate
Diocese of Llandaff Esgobaeth Llandaf Fairer Share A Guide to Parish Share within the Diocese of Llandaff Diocese of Fairer Share Llandaff Why do we pay Parish Share? For most parishes Parish Share makes up the biggest single cost in their budget. Many people however are unclear about what it pays for, with ideas ranging from a Church tax to the priest’s salary. Parish Share is hugely significant in the life of our diocese - because it makes ministry possible. It also spreads the cost of ministry across all parishes in the diocese, so that ability to pay does not affect whether or not an area is properly served by the Church. The greatest shared cost to the diocese is the cost of ministry support, which includes training housing and paying the clergy . Other shared costs include: • Parish support in key areas such as children’s & youth work, education, safeguarding, care of churches and stewardship • Church housing repairs and maintenance • Grants to support specific mission and ministry projects • Communication • Governance & compliance In every diocese Parish Share is collected and the shared costs are paid by the Diocesan Board of Finance or the ‘DBF’. The reasons the DBF do this are: • To ensure uniformity of stipends • So the Bishop may deploy a fair spread of clergy across the diocese • To ensure clergy have the security of being paid on time and housed appropriately • To be legally accountable as a registered charity Diocese of Fairer Share Llandaff Why do we pay Parish Share? Over recent years as the cost of ministry has increased sharply (mainly due to significant increases in the pension contribution rate) and the Representative Body of The Church in Wales has re- duced the level of central funding. -

Archdeacon of Llandaff Profile
The Church in Wales Yr Eglwys Yng Nghymru Archdeacon of Llandaff Profile – 2021 Archdeacon of Llandaff Context The Diocese of Llandaff extends across many of the densely populated areas of South Wales, from the capital city of Cardiff in the east to the new Swansea University campus in the west, as well as rural areas, and depopulated industrial areas. We are a sociologically complex region of Wales with many of the Welsh national institutions being resident in the diocese, as well as distinctive communities such as Barry, Pontypridd, Merthyr Tydfil, Caerphilly, Aberavon, Port Talbot and Neath. The Diocese of Llandaff The Diocese is proud of its ancient roots, with Christianity establishing itself here in the ‘age of saints’ by the 6th Century. Llandaff Cathedral has recently celebrated the 900th anniversary of its foundation. In more recent times two factors have shaped the mission of the diocese. In 1920 the Church in Wales became an independent Anglican Province following disestablishment, with Llandaff becoming one of six dioceses whose life is shaped by the Constitution of the Church. Despite the strength of churchgoing and the power of Nonconformity in Wales during the 19th Century, such allegiances have been in steady decline through the last century and church attendance continues to fall. Those declaring themselves to have ‘no religion’ is higher in South Wales than in most parts of the UK. In shaping our future response to this environment the diocese has developed a strategic vision, currently being implemented at all levels of diocesan life. (https://llandaff.churchinwales.org.uk/en/about-us/where-faith-matters) Outreach to local communities; evangelism particularly to children and young people; and confident lay discipleship are core elements of our aspirations. -

Article 17(1) of the Local Government Reorganisation (Wales) (Property etc.) Order 1996 had the general effect of vesting in the new National Park Authority the property rights and liabilities (but not any loan debt) of the former County Council, as it related to the National Park area. 2. The Statement of Accounts is a publication required by law that gives local taxpayers, members of the Authority and other stakeholders clear information about the financial performance and position of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, in order to facilitate an assessment of the stewardship of public funds and for making economic decisions.
