Swansea Council carried out a city-wide consultation in 2017, asking the public to come up with ideas on where cycle and walking routes could be introduced or extended as part of a 15-year vision. The work was completed so the Council could meet the requirements of the Active Travel Plan. New maps have been published which show possible routes which could be developed between now and 2033. At present there is 50km of cycle networks in Swansea and the Council is also creating a new 1.2km section of cycle route along Cwm Road in the Hafod.

  • Swansea Council Section 6 Biodiversity Duty Monitoring Report to Welsh Government December 2019
    Swansea Council Section 6 Biodiversity Duty Monitoring Report to Welsh Government December 2019 A. Introduction 1. Since 2015, Swansea Council (together with all other public bodies) has been given increased responsibilities and legal duties to maintain and enhance the natural environment and biodiversity as a result of the following: The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, Resilient Wales Goal: ‘A nation which maintains and enhances a biodiverse natural environment with healthy functioning ecosystems that support social, economic and ecological resilience and the capacity to adapt to change (for example climate change)’ The Environment (Wales) Act 2016 (Part 1) Section 6 Biodiversity and Resilience of Ecosystems Duty which requires that : ‘A public authority must seek to maintain and enhance biodiversity in the exercise of functions in relation to Wales, and in so doing promote the resilience of ecosystems, so far as consistent with the proper exercise of those functions’ 2. In complying with the Section 6 Biodiversity Duty, the Council is required to prepare and submit to Welsh Government by the end of 2019 (and then every three years after this date) a report (Section 6 monitoring Report) outlining what it has done to comply with the Biodiversity Duty. 3. Since the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 came into force much work has been undertaken by the Council at both a strategic and operational level to maintain and enhance biodiversity and the resilience of ecosystems. 4. This report is Swansea Council’s first Section 6

  • A Vibrant, Competitive, Independent, News Media Is a Cornerstone of Nationhood
    A vibrant, competitive, independent, news media is a cornerstone of Nationhood. It is also a sign of a vibrant economy. With Wales reported to be falling behind England and on occasion the other constituents of the United Kingdom on many economic measurements we see media ownership consolidating and advertising revenues squeezed The arrival of Social Media has removed all meaning from the traditional measures of success from existing products that offer news as a service as part of a communications package. Launching a local television channel into the market at this time has given Bay TV (Swansea) Ltd a unique insight into market conditions and audience in South West Wales which may also be relevant to Wales as a whole. At the time of writing Bay TV (Swansea) Ltd is one of 22 local television channels in the United Kingdom. It launched on July 12th 2016 and broadcasts in the conventional sense on Channel Eight on one terrestrial transmitter (Kilvey Hill) and on Channel 159 on Virgin Media – a cable TV service operating in Swansea. Other Local TV Network (LTVN) stations in Wales are Made in Cardiff and Made in North Wales. Bay TV (Swansea) Ltd is licenced by Ofcom and under its 10-year licence has made a commitment to provide a local news service to its potential audience in the communities of Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire. This includes bulletins in the Welsh language. The reception footprint from the Kilvey Hill transmitter covers 125,000 homes from Burry Port in the West to Pyle in the East. Due to local terrain reception from Kilvey Hill is patchy and can be affected by weather conditions.

  • 2. Urban Geology of Swansea and Port Talbot
    Waters et al . Urban geology of Swansea and Port Talbot 2. Urban geology of Swansea and Port Talbot Waters, C N, Price, S J, Davies, J, Tye, A M, Brown, S E & Schofield, D I The conurbation of Swansea–Neath–Port Talbot is one of the main centres of industrial development in South Wales. A long history of mineral extraction and processing, which stoked the initial growth of the towns, declined during the 20 th Century. Many of these former industries have left a legacy of groundwater, water- course and land contamination. A project funded by the Environment & Hazards Directorate (British Geological Survey) between 2000-2005 used available geological data to determine potential areas of contaminated land and understand the influence of the geology to pollutant pathways (Waters et al ., In press a). The study covered 100 km 2 of the Swansea- Neath-Port Talbot area (Fig. 2.1) and was aimed at providing data relevant to contaminated land issues, to augment the study by Arup (1997) on earth science information relevant to planning and development for the Swansea-Llanelli district, and look at new methodologies of presenting the data. Contaminated land is defined as areas where a Source-Pathway-Receptor linkage can be established (DoE, 1995). In order to determine Source areas it is necessary to appreciate the industrial development of the region by collecting information on current and former land use and the extent and nature of artificial deposits. The degree that contamination of Source areas is a problem can be established from analysis of soil geochemistry. The Pathway component represents the migration of contaminants through the air, surface water or groundwater.
