    AGENDA ITEM No. 16 MEETING : TRUST BOARD DATE : 29 JANUARY 2008 REPORT OF : DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE Contact : Andy Roughton Regional Director C&W Officer Tel: 01792 562929 Email: [email protected] POWYS – UPDATE REPORT Purpose 1. To inform the Board of the current position within Powys. RECOMMENDED: That the report be received. Introduction 2. The Powys locality currently operates from 12 ambulance stations and at peak times aims to roster 12 ambulance resources at any one time. Appendix A shows the levels of activity and the distribution of activity over a 91 day period. Appendix B shows the average peak activity over a 50 week period by day of the week across Powys. The columns show planned crewing levels and the red line shows the rota required taking account of a three hour job cycle. Due to the geographical size of the area, low call volumes and spread of activity throughout the locality, compliance with response standards is challenging within the current traditional ambulance service delivery model employed (Appendix A). However, the rostered level of ambulance resources is sufficient to service the current call volume (Appendix B). 3. Recruitment and retention of staff has also been a challenge in the past, leaving the region with 4 vacancies and an additional requirement for 3 vacancies to increase the relief percentage to the Trust’s target of 26%. 4. Powys has no General Hospital and therefore average job cycle times are incurred of up to 3 hours when patients are conveyed and therefore the Trust’s inability to maintain suitable cover within the locality further compromises our ability to meet response standards.

I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

  • 'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
    S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

Actual and proposed water use information from the The Act of Parliament which allowed the creation of water companies and other major users, such as Ironbridge LJyn Clywedog also set down a minimum flow to be Power Station, is analysed. This data is used to forecast maintained at a control point at Bewdley in the middle when flows are likely to fall below the 850 Ml/d minimum reaches of the River Severn. The minimum flow was originally flow at Bewdley. The forecasts are based on current trends, defined as 720 million litres a day (Ml/d) to ensure dilution of historic flow patterns, predicted abstractions and weather waste water discharges from the Black Country and to allow forecasts. When it appears likely that the minimum flow for abstractions and environmental needs downstream.

    OBJ/003/LAND/POE/S4 Mid Wales (Powys) Conjoined Public Inquiry (CPI) into 5 wind farm Applications and a 132 kV Overhead Power Line Connection. Session 4 – Cumulative Effects Proofs of Evidence re: Landscape. Culture and Heritage. Presented by: Llansanffraid Action Group (LAG) against Wind Farms and Pylons in Mid Wales On behalf of: Cyngor Cymuned Llansanffraid a Deuddwr Community Council : Cyngor Cymuned Carreghwfa Community Council Author - Rh. ap Rh. Owen, BVSc Hons, DVR, DipACVS, FRCVS Preface This proof of evidence is presented on behalf of the above bodies because it is abundantly clear to them that a direct consequence of the proposed wind farm developments presently being considered by the Public Inquiry has to include the National Grid 400kV line, otherwise the wind farms would not be functional. Therefore the National Grid 400kV line is a relevant and significant part of this whole infrastructure project and needs to be considered by the inquiry. Hence the reason for this submission which is to discuss the cumulative consequences of these Wind Farm projects on our communities. February 2014. A. Cumulative effects on Landscape A.1 Landscape ‘sensitivity’,’ value’ and ‘visual and sensory amenity’. A.1.1 Landscape characteristics and attributes, hence ‘Value’, has been quantified to a degree in the ‘Landmap’ (Crown Copyright). Landmap however has only quantified landscape as ‘visual and sensory amenity’ which it has limited to three categories High, Moderate and Low. Even so Landmap is the basis on which objective assessments are then made in greater detail. A.1.2 To understand and define how various landscape values may be sensitive to the development of overhead power lines and associated pylons they need to be categorised into 5 more detailed tiers of ‘Sensitivity’, namely High, Medium/high, Medium, Low/medium and Low.
