  • The Welsh Development Agency: Activities and Impact, 1976 to 2006
    The Welsh Development Agency: activities and impact, 1976 to 2006 Leon Gooberman and Trevor Boyns, Cardiff University INTRODUCTION In the 1970s and 1980s, echoing events elsewhere but to a much larger extent, unemployment in Wales surged to levels not previously seen in the post-war era as the traditional industries of coal and metal manufacture declined rapidly. The post-war decline of the coal industry had previously been offset by central governments’1 deployment of regional policies to boost manufacturing by constructing factories, awarding grants to companies investing in priority areas, and using regulatory instruments to direct industry to these areas.2 However, economic turbulence throughout the UK meant that resources for regional policy were increasingly absent by the mid-1970s. From 1979 the government of Margaret Thatcher further downgraded regional policy given her ideological emphasis on reducing the level of state intervention. The lessening application of regional policy coincided with worsening economic conditions in Wales, where employment in the steel, coal and manufacturing industries fell by 124,000 people between 1979 and 1983.3 Despite central government’s changing priorities, the existence of an administratively devolved Welsh Office4 allowed some regional assistance to continue. The primary vehicle for Welsh Office intervention from 1976 was the Welsh Development Agency (WDA). The agency’s role was set out by the eponymous Act of 1975 as including: promoting Wales as a location for industrial development; providing finance to industry; promoting or assisting ‘the establishment, growth, modernisation or development of an industry’; providing and 1 managing industrial sites and premises; and, reclaiming derelict land.5 A Development Board for Rural Wales was also established to exercise similar functions in mid-Wales.

  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

  • Local Transport Plan 2015
    Bridgend County Borough Council September 2015 Local Transport Plan 2015 - 2030 Version Control and Approvals Version Summary of Changes Approved for Issue by Date No. 0.1 Public consultation draft BCBC Cabinet 11/11/14 Corporate Director – Includes amendments following public 1 Communities under 26/01/15 consultation prior to submission to WG. Delegated Powers 2 Includes minor editorial changes. Welsh Government 21/05/15 Foreword This Local Transport Plan, in line with the guidance provided by the Welsh Government, represents a return to a more local approach to the planning of transport within Bridgend and a departure from the previous focus on regional transport issues under the erstwhile Sewta’s Regional Transport Plan. Under this LTP, Bridgend County Borough Council will be able to plan and co-ordinate investment in local transport in pursuit of local objectives that deliver local aspirations, whilst still recognising the significance of Bridgend’s role as a link between the two South Wales City Regions. The Vision of this LTP espouses a transport system that is effective, accessible, integrated and sustainable, aimed at delivering economic growth, offering equal opportunity for all, and enhancing the health, fitness and well-being of local residents. Bridgend has a unique geographical position, lying between the two city-regions in South Wales. Its proximity to the Cardiff Capital Region, and the historical transport links that connect the two areas, enhances the county borough’s potential to exploit a wider regional market. It is clear that improving transport and accessibility links between the county borough and both city-regions will enhance the county borough’s competitiveness.

There are three well-maintained churches. The style of worship is varied but traditional, with a strong music base particularly at St Augustine’s. Main needs include developing the lay ministry and re-introducing the children’s ministry, whilst maintaining support for the faithful but largely older congregation. Links with the community and other churches also need to be strengthened. The Parish is likely to join with the adjacent parish of All Saints in the future to form a Ministry Area.

  • Arts Council Wales – Written Evidence (LBC0292)
    Arts Council Wales – Written Evidence (LBC0292) All arts organisations – and many individuals – have been adversely impacted by the pandemic, some quite catastrophically. 1. The arts sector in Wales is largely made up of charities, community interest companies, social enterprises, and freelancers. Charitable organisations and individual creatives generally carry no sizeable reserves and, even when operating in normal circumstances, do not set out to make large profits. Any profit that’s made is generally re-invested back into enhancing delivery and extending the impact of arts activities. Some of our most effective and important organisations found themselves worst affected. 2. The loss of income from the closure of theatres and venues has been very serious. But current difficulties are exacerbated for those organisations (mostly venues) who achieve a high proportion of their income from ticket sales, retail income and other secondary spend. For example, under normal circumstances we applaud organisations like Chapter, Galeri in Caernarfon and Wales Millennium Centre for their success in operating with a low dependency on public funding. But with around 80% of their income coming from commercial activities, otherwise stable business models crashed overnight. 3. There’s also the potential impact on associated expenditure. The Wales Millennium Centre, for example, sustains 1,200 jobs onsite and has estimated its annual economic impact in Cardiff Bay to be around £70m per annum. Its eventual re-emergence from lock-down will almost certainly be as a ‘smaller’ organisation. The cumulative loss of income is very serious, to the organisations themselves and to the economy of Wales. 4. The Arts Council of Wales provides annual grant-in-aid support of around £27m to a nation-wide network of 67 key arts organisations – the Arts Portfolio Wales (APW).

  • Operational Plan This Year Reflects an Important Moment of Change
    Foreword from the Chair and Chief Executive of the Arts Council of Wales These are challenging times for the publicly funded arts in Wales. This isn’t because people don’t care about them – the public are enjoying and taking part in the arts in large numbers. It isn’t because the work is poor – critical acclaim and international distinction tells us differently. The arts remain vulnerable because continuing economic pressures are forcing uncomfortable choices about which areas of civic life can argue the most persuasive case for support. Fortunately, the Welsh Government recognises and understands the value of arts and creativity. Even in these difficult times, the Government is increasing its funding to the Arts Council in 2017/18 by 3.5%. This vote of confidence in Wales’ artists and arts organisations is as welcome as it’s deserved. But economic austerity continues and this increases our responsibility to ensure that the benefits that the arts offer are available to all. If we want Wales to be fair, prosperous and confident, improving the quality of life of its people in all of the country’s communities, then we must make the choices that enable this to happen – hard choices that will require us to be clear about our priorities. We intend over the coming years to make some important changes – not recklessly or heedlessly, but because we feel that we must try harder to ensure that the benefits of the arts are available more fairly across Wales. It is time to tackle the lack of engagement, amongst those not traditionally able to take part in the arts and in those places where the chance to enjoy the arts is more limited.
