Committee Report.Pdf Civic Centre, Castle Street, Merthyr Tydfil CF47 8AN Main Tel: 01685 725000 www.merthyr.gov.uk FULL COUNCIL REPORT Date Written 19th August 2019 Report Author Ann Taylor Service Area Democratic Services Exempt/Non Exempt Non-Exempt th Committee Date 11 September 2019 To: Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen CHARTER BETWEEN MERTHYR TYDFIL COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL AND BEDLINOG AND TRELEWIS COMMUNITY COUNCIL 1.0 SUMMARY OF THE REPORT 1.1 To approve a Charter between Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council and Bedlinog and Trelewis Community Council, which sets out how they will work together for the benefit of local communities whilst recognising respective responsibilities as autonomous, democratically elected statutory bodies. 2.0 RECOMMENDATIONS that 2.1 The Charter between Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council and Bedlinog and Trelewis Community Council be approved. 3.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 3.1 In response to a study by the University of Wales Aberystwyth in 2008, the Welsh Government produced non-statutory guidance and a model Charter to support good practice as a means of establishing effective collaboration between a principal council and community councils within the local authority area. It is based on equality of partnership and is not a top-down arrangement. 3.2 The Local Government (Wales) Measure 2011 subsequently gave Welsh Ministers the authority to require the adoption of these charters, but this authority was not employed and the introduction of a Charter is still optional, as it was recognised that charter agreements may not always be the most desirable method of working and should only be in place when both the principal council and community council are fully committed to it. 3.3 In 2018, following a review of Welsh Town and Community Councils the Welsh Government strengthened their advice by recommending that all local authorities should have regular partnership forums with community and town councils based on equal partnership in a common goal. They stated that there should be meaningful charters, or other ways of formalising the relationship. In addition, local authorities should have a dedicated liaison officer for liaising with Community and Town Councils in the region. 3.4 In February 2019 the Leader of the Welsh Local Government Association encouraged all local authorities to take forward this recommendation and implement Charters as a priority. 3.5 Merthyr Tydfil has only one Community Council and on 17th July 2019, in accordance with Section 76 of the Local Government Act 1972 Full Council approved the change of name from Bedlinog Community Council to Bedlinog and Trelewis Community Council. The change was brought about to fulfil the Community Council’s desire to give local people a voice and encourage greater participation in the activities of the Council. It is hoped that this would be further strengthened by the introduction of a Charter with Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council. 4.0 CHARTER 4.1 Appendix 1 is a draft Charter drawn up in accordance with the Welsh Government model and sets out joint working protocols and expectations on the part of Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council and Bedlinog and Trelewis Community Council. 4.2 If introduced, the Charter would be reviewed every four years, or more often if there is a need to do so, and progress will be assessed annually against measures contained within a jointly agreed action plan. 5.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATION(S) 5.1 There are no direct financial implications, although the Head of Democratic Services will be required to devote resources to the development and assessment of an action plan and the Charter as a whole. 6.0 INTEGRATED IMPACT ASSESSMENT Positive Negative Not Impacts Impacts Applicable 1.

A range of information sources were utilised to feed into the assessment. These included an analysis of the local housing registers, household projections, homelessness data, house prices, rental prices, household incomes, dwelling stock turnover and housing supply data. Household sizes were found to be increasingly smaller across all markets, with acute need for one and two bedroom properties. There is also a disparity in demand to live in specific areas across Merthyr Tydfil; the Town, Penydarren, Cyfarthfa and Dowlais Wards proving most popular. Whilst assessing the local housing market as a whole, this study specifically estimated the deficit of affordable housing within the County Borough. Overall,

    Dear Customer Bedlinog Post Office® 36 High Street Bedlinog, Treharris, CF46 6RF Branch Temporary Closure We are writing to inform you that, regrettably, following the resignation of the postmaster and the withdrawal of the premises for Post Office use the above branch will be closing temporarily on Tuesday 24 December 2019 at 13:00. I would like to assure you that we are currently investigating the options available which will enable us to reinstate a Post Office service to the local community. In exploring this, it is important that any future service is sustainable for the person operating the service, and for Post Office Limited. Future provision will reflect customer numbers and usage and we may take the opportunity to establish an alternative type of service. This may be an outreach service where a postmaster from a nearby branch offers the facility with hours of opening set to reflect the likely number of customers who will use the service or a new style local branch which run alongside an established retail shop in newly refurbished premises and creates a more modern and convenient experience for customers. If you have any questions you would like to raise about this matter, please write to me via the National Consultation Team at the address shown at the end of the letter. Please note that your comments will not be kept confidential unless you expressly ask us do so by clearly marking them “In Confidence”. Any future changes to service provision would be handled in line with our Principles of Community Engagement. A copy is available at the end of this letter.

  • Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council Election Results 1995-2012
    Merthyr Tydfil County Borough 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.
