life, and poor air quality is considered the largest environmental risk to public health in the UK.1 It has been reported that air pollution problems persist in Wales and pose significant public health risks.2 The evidence linking poor health outcomes with exposure, even low pollutant concentrations, only continues to strengthen. It is therefore plausible that everyone is affected by air pollution to some extent.3 In the UK, in the context of air quality management, the main air pollutants which are the primary public health concern, are particulate matter, and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and the principle source of these pollutants is from road transport emissions.4 It has been published that air quality has significantly improved in the UK over the past years.5 Defra states “Total UK emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) fell by almost 70% between 1970 and 2015 and by over 19% between 2010 and 2015.” In Wales, the most widely exceeded limit value is the annual mean nitrogen dioxide concentration (40µg/m3). Despite these somewhat improved levels, there are around 40 Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) declared by Local Authorities in Wales. Very few AQMAs have been revoked and those persons living and working within these defined areas are susceptible to high concentrations of air pollutants than elsewhere. Welsh Government (WG) explain that from a public health perspective there is no defined ‘safe’ level of exposure, and the national air quality objectives used to identify AQMAs should not be seen as ‘safe’ levels. Air pollution can cause adverse effects on health and quality of life at lower exposures, depending on the circumstances of the exposed individual. As a consequence, the majority of the avoidable health burden associated with air pollution in Wales is the result of population exposures outside AQMAs. High on the agenda for UK Government is to tackle air pollution and protect the health and well-being of the UK population.5 A multi-sectorial approach is needed to develop and effectively implement long term policies and strategies that reduce risks of air pollution to health (WHO Regional Office for Europe 2013). This approach is supported across Wales through the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 20156 (National Assembly for Wales 2015), that includes goals to achieve a healthier Wales, that is more globally responsible and equal, through thinking more about the long-term, looking to prevent problems and taking a more joined-up approach. Many of the actions required to address air quality will have additional benefits to health and well-being by increasing levels of physical activity, improving mental well-being, and decreasing social isolation. 1World Health Organisation (2017).

The regeneration of Cardiff Bay is now widely regarded as one of the most successful regeneration projects in the United Kingdom.[1] The Bay is supplied by two rivers (Taff and Ely) to form a 500-acre (2.0 km2) freshwater lake round the former dockland area south of the city centre. The Bay was formerly tidal, with access to the sea limited to a couple of hours each side of high water but now provides 24 hour access through three locks[2] . History Cardiff Bay played a major part in Cardiff’s development by being the means of exporting coal from the South Wales Valleys to the rest of the world, helping to power the industrial age. The coal mining industry helped fund the building of Cardiff into the Capital city of Wales and helped the Third Marquis of Bute, who owned the docks, become the richest man in the world at the time. As Cardiff exports grew, so did its population; dockworkers and sailors from across the world settled in neighbourhoods close to the docks, known as Tiger Bay, and communities from up to 45 different nationalities, including Norwegian, Somali, Yemeni, Spanish, Italian, Caribbean and Irish helped create the unique multicultural character of the area.

  • National Assembly for Wales
    Enterprise and Business Committee Inquiry into Town Centre Regeneration Evidence from the Vale of Glamorgan Council Background The town centres in the Vale of Glamorgan (Barry, Penarth, Cowbridge and Llantwit Major) vary greatly in terms of the quality of the retail offer, customer choice and the diversity of uses. They have all been affected by the current market conditions and to varying degrees by long term changes in the retail environment, which are identified in the main part of this paper. The Vale of Glamorgan Council recognises that successful town centre regeneration requires leadership, co-ordination and funding commitment beyond the short term. General Summary of Evidence The Vale of Glamorgan Council believes that the main issues affecting the regeneration of town centres that need to be addressed are as follows: COMPETITION There is nothing you cannot buy on the Internet that you can buy in the High Street, including banking, clothing, food, books, music and a range of electrical and household items. Indeed in 10 years time, possibly less, the only service likely to be left in unsuccessful town centres will be hairdressers, as you cannot have your hair cut online. Likewise out of town shopping centres have everything available, very conveniently with free parking. In this paper the concept of "making" out of town shopping centres "charge" for parking is raised as this would help level the playing field. Finally, the proximity to large successful retail centres such as Cardiff is a significant factor and this is a factor that is explored in detail in this submission. TAXATION The effect of business rates on the profitability of retail businesses cannot be understated.

  • The Heart of Digital Wales: a Review of Creative Industries for the Welsh Assembly Government
    The Heart of Digital Wales: a review of creative industries for the Welsh Assembly Government. By Ian Hargreaves The Heart of Digital Wales: a review of creative industries for the Welsh Assembly Government. The Creative Industries Strategy adopted by the Welsh Assembly Government (Assembly Government) in 2004 arose from the belief that this is a sector of exceptional importance for Wales. The creative industries sector is currently identifi ed as one of six strategically important sectors for the Welsh economy, alongside bioscience, health, fi nancial services, automotive and aerospace. In addition, the sectoral approach adopted by the Government names telecommunications and ICT as one of three core or enabling sectors. A working assumption of this review is that the future of the creative industries cannot be properly understood or shaped without close reference to the country’s digital communications infrastructure and the broader digital economy. 1. Summary According to Digital Britain, the UK Government’s framework for policy in this area, one tenth of UK economic output is accounted for by the digital sector. Wales will only succeed in this dynamic area of the economy if it sets its own policy framework, supported by the right institutional arrangements, to help nurture creative businesses within Wales. The Assembly Government has had a creative industries strategy since 2004. Elements of this strategy, which place a strong emphasis upon supporting the exploitation of intellectual property, have been imitated elsewhere in the UK. It is also clear, however, that the 2004 strategy has failed to establish a suffi ciently coherent strategic approach to the creative sector and that this has resulted in some loss of confi dence in the Assembly Government’s activities.
