  • Brief Histories of Churches Cardiff
    Brief Histories of Churches in the Roath, Splott, Adamsdown, Cathays, Tremorfa, Tredegarville & Penylan areas of Cardiff Roath Local History Society in Cardiff has as its area of interest the old Parish of Roath in the 1880s. This covered not just the area we know as Roath today but also Splott, Adamsdown, Pengam, Pen-y-lan, and part of Cathays. This brief histories of churches looks at the churches that would have been in the area of old parish of Roath but also strays into neighbouring area such as Tredegarville and Cathays as a whole. There may be more churches to be included such as some mission halls that doubled up both as Sunday Schools as well as a church. A couple of synagogues are also included. Building of other faiths will be added over time, though some are already listed as former church buildings now house other faiths. Some errors and omissions in the details are likely. When the author is made aware of any errors, or additional information comes to light, the details on the website version will be updated where possible. The website also contains an interactive map that pinpoints the individual churches. Research for this compilation has relied heavily on a number of publications by members of Roath Local History Society in particular: ‘Cardiff Churches Through Time’ by Jean Rose. ‘Roath, Splott and Adamsdown, One Thousand Years of History’ by Jeff Childs. ‘Roath, Splott and Adamsdown – the Archive Photographs Series’ by Jeff Childs The author would also like to thank members of the various churches listed for their assistance and individuals of other organisations.

  • City and County of Cardiff Dinas a Sir Caerdydd
    CITY AND COUNTY OF CARDIFF DINAS A SIR CAERDYDD COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL 25 April 2002 CABINET PROPOSAL AGENDA ITEM: Community Planning Background 1. On 21 September 2000 the Council approved the development of a partnership- based community strategy. This reflects the fact that community planning is a key component of the Government’s modernisation agenda and the Council continues to be at the vanguard of the development of community planning in Wales. The Council has taken into account the advice of the National Assembly and is continuing to learn from and help shape best practice by its participation in the Audit Commissions Quality of Life pilot project and the Local Government Information Unit’s Community Planning network. 2. In the last year the Council has continued to work with partners to develop indicators for the Community Strategy, launched Action Forums on Race Equality and the Anti Litter Strategy, undertaken a partnership audit, and tied the Community Strategy into the budgetary and policy development cycles of the Council. This report provides an update on progress in delivering community planning in Cardiff and outlines a work programme for 2002-2003. Issues Emerging from the Congress 3. At the second Capital Congress, which was entitled ‘Time for Delivery’, 100 community planning partners agreed changes to the draft strategy, which is attached to this report as Appendix A. In part, this reflected the results of an extensive survey undertaken in Capital Times that received 2,474 responses. A summary of the results is attached as Appendix B. Capital Congress also agreed the Performance Indicator framework and, at a series of workshops, began evaluating the potential for the delivery of objectives through partnership working.

  • Case Study 1
    Case study 1 Save the Vulcan – how to save pubs and influence people The first group to be case studied in this book is the ‘Save the Vulcan’ campaign. The Vulcan Hotel was built in 1853 and was located in the centre of Cardiff, United Kingdom, but was under threat from demolition. This chapter will address the Save the Vulcan campaign to illustrate that substantial mediain the first and political opportunities were open for the group, and how they managed to exploit these opportunities. However, the media and protest tactics of the group were non-confrontational, and the decisions behind the tactics were influenced by the group’s political insider status and the demographics of their supporters. The non- confrontational tactics and political opportunities led to a very sympathetic local newspaper, and this fed back into the media and protest tactics and kept them relatively non-confrontational. The Save the Vulcan campaign 1 was created following an interview on BBC Radio Wales with the future chairperson, and the subsequent involvement of another activist who joined the group upon hearing this interview. The committee that formed had a consistent core of five members. It was a Cardiff-based campaign that centred its political pressure on local politicians and publicising the campaign in the South Wales regional press, the South Wales Echo in particular. The political and media backdrop This section will detail the protest targets of the group, and the media and political backdrop to the Vulcan campaign before it began. First, the nature of the external threat to the Vulcan pub meant that the protest targets for the campaign were clear.
