She advised that, following a number of years of reductions in funding from central government, and continued financial pressures, along with addressing post-Covid-19 recovery, all Councils across the country are continuing to change the way they work and the services they provide so that they can manage with less. Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) has made reductions from its budget of £22 million over the last four years (2017-18 to 2020-21), with an expectation of significant further reductions required over the next four years. A public consultation exercise was undertaken over an eight week period from 19 October 2020 to 13 December 2020 on the Council’s budget proposals contained within its Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS). With regard to this, respondents were asked to share their views on a range of areas including:- Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic; Business and the economy; Health and wellbeing; Customer access to Civic Offices; Digitalisation; Council Tax levels; The future. Within the background section of the report, it explained all the methods of consultation that had been pursued with stakeholders and other organisations/groups that included the Youth Council, in order to ensure that the process was far reaching and included as wide an audience as was possible, so that individuals and groups were able to be given an opportunity to respond to the consultation. The Consultation, Engagement and Equalities Manager, confirmed that attached to the cover report, was a copy of the report to Cabinet on 19 January 2021 on the Outcome of the ‘Fit for the Future’ Consultation (at Appendix A). The attached consultation report (at Appendix B), set out in detail the views expressed by those who had participated in the consultation. Overall, the council had received 1,831 interactions from a combination of survey completions, engagement at various meetings, social media engagement and via the authority’s Citizens’ Panel. Due to the impact of Covid-19 this was a decrease of 5,606 (75%) on the 7,437 interactions from last year. A total of 1,421 survey responses were received, which was a decrease of 58% on last year’s survey completions. The response rate, by method of interaction, was detailed in paragraph 4.3 of the report. There were no questions in relation to this report, which was for information purposes only. RESOLVED: That the Town and Community Council Forum received and considered the report, alongside the detailed reports attached at Appendix A and Appendix B.

BRIDGEND TOWN CENTRE REGENERATION MASTERPLAN CONSULTATION (DECEMBER 2020 - MARCH 2021) - ENGAGEMENT WITH TOWN AND COMMUNITY COUNCILS The Corporate Director – Communities submitted a report, the purpose of which, was to inform the Town and Community Council Forum of the proposed Masterplan for the Bridgend Town Centre and also of the public consultation, with the aim to ensure effective engagement with Town and Community Councils, local residents and businesses. The report was supported by a power point presentation from Ms. Shruthi Guruswamy from BDP Consultants, on the current and future proposals. The Group Manager – Strategic Regeneration, advised that the, Bridgend Town Centre Masterplan was commissioned in February 2020 with the purpose of it being a key strategic document to create a coherent basis for securing future funding, attracting investors and delivering a comprehensive range of regeneration projects. BDP Consultants and the wider sub-consultant team consisting of Asbri Planning, Cooke and Arkwright and Phil Jones Associates were appointed by Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC), to prepare a Regeneration Masterplan for and on behalf of BCBC for the Bridgend town centre. The Masterplan purpose was to ensure that Bridgend builds on its many strengths, so that alongside recent investment, there is a catalyst for future growth that incorporates town centre mixed use regeneration. It will be used as a dynamic long-term planning document that will offer a theoretical layout to guide future regeneration and growth. It also provided analysis, recommendations, and proposals for the town centre. It complements the Local Development Plan and builds upon the Bridgend Town Centre Framework. As part of the development of the Masterplan, BCBC had conducted an extensive stakeholder engagement process during the early stages of the project. The findings were represented / incorporated into the Masterplan. BCBC extended an invite to all external stakeholders including local organisations, landowners, the Bridgend Town Council, other governmental authorities and relevant working groups. BDP also subsequently conducted a visioning workshop with a range of external stakeholders. The draft Masterplan was presently out for consultation, Members were advised. The draft Bridgend Town Centre Masterplan, outlined a vision for a liveable and vibrant place. This vision brings together enterprise, employment, education, in-town living, shopping, culture, tourism and well-being within a historic setting. She explained further, that the consultation gave an overview of the Plan which identified a series of ambitious and deliverable projects. To achieve the overall vision and regenerate Bridgend Town Centre over the next ten years, four broad themes had been identified: • Growth; • Resilience; • Well-being; • Identity Page 5 TOWN & COMMUNITY COUNCIL FORUM - MONDAY, 15 FEBRUARY 2021 Bridgend

  • Life Saving Scheme Launched Across Wales
    Welsh Assembly Government | Life saving scheme launched across ... Page 1 of 2 Life saving scheme launched across Wales A new scheme that will help save the lives of people who have suffered a heart attack will be launched today (December 19, 2006) in the Senedd at 3pm by the Welsh Ambulance Service and Welsh Assembly Government. The public access defibrillation scheme will mean defibrillators, which are vital life-saving machines for people who have suffered a heart attack, will be made available in a number of busy public places such as railway stations and shopping centres. More than 20 sites across Wales are taking part in the scheme thanks to £80,000 funding for equipment from the Welsh Assembly Government. Additional recurrent funding of £61,000 a year is also available to fund training delivered by the Welsh Ambulance Service to staff and volunteers on the provision of basic life support and use the defibrillators. Gary Humphries is just one of many people whose life was saved by such a scheme when he collapsed with a heart attack in Hawthorn Leisure Centre, Treforest. He said, “If it wasn’t for the quick response of trained staff and the fact that a defibrillator was available at the leisure centre, I wouldn’t be here today.” The scheme, which is supported by the British Heart Foundation, increases the survival rates of people who have suffered a heart attack and encourages people to develop life saving skill which can be used before an ambulance arrives. Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust Medical Director Dr Mick Colquhoun said, “Every second counts when you are trying to save someone’s life and the sooner defibrillation is performed the greater the chance of survival.

It’s a town we can all be proud of and is regarded by many as the “Gateway to the County Borough” due to its close proximity to the M4 motorway. Its central location makes it very popular for commuters travelling to both Cardiff and Swansea. For those who prefer public transport, excellent rail and bus links to both east and west are well served by Pencoed’s new “Park and Ride” facility. It is not surprising, then, that a number of national and international companies have been attracted to Bocam and the Pencoed Technology Park.
