Llangyniew.Pdf FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M29 - LLANGYNIEW Introduction 1. The present community of Llangyniew largely comprises hill country that falls to the river Banw or Einion in its south and the river Efyrnwy in its north. The small village of Pontrobert, lying to the north-east of the community, has experienced a fair amount of housing development in recent years; it has a good range of community services and facilities, and just over quarter of the population now lives in that village. The remainder of the population lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the rural settlements of Llangyniew and Heniarth. The rapid development of the largely new settlement of Pontrobert has meant that this community is perhaps no longer the homogeneous community that it once was. Its south-eastern part is traversed by the B4389 and the A495 and A458(T), which provide easy links with Llanfair Caereinion, Meifod and Welshpool, and the residents of that area would look to those settlements for their services before they would look to Pontrobert. 2. The community has a population of 539, an electorate of 453 (2005) and a council of 7 members. The precept required for 2005 is £3,158.61, representing a Council Tax Band D equivalent of £12.19. 3. In the 1986 Review, the continued viability of the then community of Llangyniew was questioned, and there were proposals to either dismember Llangyniew or to merge it with Meifod or Llanfihangel to form a two-ward community. Those proposals fell in the face of strong opposition from Meifod and Llangyniew community councils, supported by petitions of local inhabitants. The views of the inhabitants of Pontrobert and its hinterland, that they wished to be transferred from Meifod community to Llangyniew, secured the situation, offering assured viability to the latter without affecting unduly the viability of the former. Some small transfers of areas to the new community of Llanfihangel, especially around the settlement of Dolanog, were made, and these included Tynrhos, Wern-y-wig and Glan-yr-afon- uchaf. The Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales therefore made its final recommendations for a community council of seven members in an un-warded community. Summary of representations received prior to preparation of Draft Proposals 4. A submission form has been received from Llangyniew Community Council, proposing no changes in this community. Assessment Final Proposals – Montgomeryshire – Community M$kbo0rlph.doc 5. The electorate of Llangyniew has increased from 350 in 1980 to 453 in 2005. At Pontrobert, apart from an extant planning permission for seven dwellings, further development in the Unitary Development Plan will be limited to infill development and opportunities for affordable housing development adjacent to the settlement development boundaries. There are also opportunities for affordable housing development in the rural settlements of Llangyniew and Heniarth in accordance with Policy HP9 of the Plan, for a limited number of dwellings in the open countryside in accordance with Policy HP6 of the Plan, and for conversions in accordance with Policy GP6 of the Plan. We note that this community's electorate will continue, therefore, to lie at the lower end in the range of 400-600 electors, suggesting an entitlement in accordance with Table 7 - Guide to Allocation of Councillors to Community Councils to eight councillors. Draft Proposals 6. That there should be a community of Llangyniew comprising the present community of that name; That the community should have a council of eight members. (Ward) Electorate No of Councillors Electors per Councillor 453 8 57 Responses to the Council’s Draft Proposals 7. No comments or submissions were received on the Draft Proposals. Final Proposals 8.

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

  • ABERHAFESP COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER Winter 2019/2020
    ABERHAFESP COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER Winter 2019/2020 HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL COMMUNITY CENTRE NEWS Autumn came upon us suddenly this year, and probably thanks to all the rain, the trees all round the centre were particularly vibrant and beautiful. The tubs at the entrance were planted with winter pansies and small trees, and many bulbs were planted all round the front garden. Our thanks go to Rob Gallier who ran the Shrewsbury half marathon last October and raised £250 towards the upkeep of our local defibrillators. The Friday night social evenings have gone from strength to strength, with there being three table tennis tables now, and two kurling sets, which gives more scope. Darts remains popular, and the evenings have been made even better by having the bar open. The Christmas coffee morning in November was very popular with some excellent stalls, Christmas decorations, fancy goods, beautiful small wooden goods (e.g. bowls and stools), quilted goods, bric-a-brac, and of course, the cake stall. The bacon butties were as popular as ever. Proceeds went to the upkeep of the hall fund, with £100 going to Children in Need. Our usual Christmas Bonanza was held on December 7th with raffle, bar and a delicious two course meal served by Trefor and Carol Davies of the Sandwich Bar. Entertainment was by Tony Rowley, who brought his light machine to shine all round the walls, and give atmosphere. He played a good selection of music all evening, including 70s and 80s. It was a most successful night. Raffle prizes were kindly donated by the Newtown Tesco and Morrisons and John Williams.

  • Companion to the Welsh Settlement in Patagonia
    Companion to the Welsh Settlement in Patagonia Eirionedd A. Baskerville Cymdeithas Cymru-Ariannin/Wales-Argentina Society 2014 1 Copyright © Eirionedd A. Baskerville, 2014 2 Foreword The aim of this Companion is to gather together information from different sources about the life and work of some of the pioneers of the Welsh Settlement in Patagonia. These emigrants left their mark on every aspect of life in the settlement and many of their descendants still maintain its founding principles. The chief sources of the material are articles which appeared in Y Drafod, the Colony’s newspaper that first appeared in 1891 and is still being published today. Important information about the emigrants is to be found in the many books written on the history of the Colony, and for personal information on the families I am greatly indebted to the books of Albina Jones de Zampini. In addition to the census returns for England and Wales, 1841-1911, which are a valuable source for tracing an individual’s roots before emigrating, several websites contain family histories which have been contributed by descendants of the emigrants or other family members. Many of the reports contained in the Companion are based upon research commissioned by CyMAL, the sector of the Welsh Government that advises and supports museums, archives and libraries, and I am grateful for CyMAL’s permission to publish revised versions of those reports. By publishing the Companion on the web it will be possible to add to the information and revise it. Comments regarding corrections or additions are welcome. It is intended to add further reports from time to time on individuals, organizations and subjects relating to the Settlement, and suggestions regarding such additions would be welcomed.

  • The Ann Griffiths Memorial Chapel
    Explore the Meini Bywiol Living Stones Heritage Trail 13 The Ann Griffiths Memorial Chapel The chapel was opened in 1904 as a memorial to Ann Griffiths, the famous Welsh hymn writer, who spent most of her life in Dolanog. The building is an interesting and unusual example of Arts and Crafts architectural style applied to a Nonconformist chapel. Ann Griffiths Ann Griffiths was a Calvinist Methodist hymn writer who lived the majority of her life in Dolanog. She was born in 1776, on a farm called Dolwar Fach and christened in the parish church of Llanfihangel-yng-Ngwynfa. In 1794 her mother died, and she helped to run the farm with her father and brother John until her father’s death in 1804. In October of the same year she married Thomas Griffiths, who came to live at Dolwar Fach with Ann and John. Ten months later, in August 1805, Ann died following the birth and death of a baby daughter, Elizabeth. She is buried in the churchyard as hymns. The examples of Ann’s work that have been at Llanfihangel-yng-Ngwynfa. In 1864 a memorial to Ann preserved for us are both the fruit of those intense spiritual Griffiths was erected in the churchyard by her great nephew. experiences and an expression of them.

  • Deep Rural Localities
    DEEP RURAL LOCALITIES October 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During the ‘deep rural’ research project the Wales Rural Observatory team travelled to a number of places and met a range of people. Invariably, everybody was friendly and cooperative. The Wales Rural Observatory wishes to extend its thanks to the people who helped with the research. Local authority personnel in Gwynedd, Pembrokeshire and Powys were instrumental in the early stages of the research: helping to establish the criteria for ‘deep rural’; providing advice on local conditions; and providing local contacts. The Clerks of Community Council in the research communities of Aberdaron, Clydau, Llanfihangel - yng- Ngwynfa and Llangammarch Wells were most helpful in arranging meetings with the community councils and setting-up meeting places, notice boards and catering arrangements for the research teams engaged in the household surveys. In this context, thanks are extended to those local shops and public houses that assisted the research by displaying notices and acting as distribution and collection centres for the household survey. The Wales Rural Observatory is grateful to the teams of post-graduate students who conducted the household survey. Finally, the Wales Rural Observatory wishes to thank the people who participated in the research, the people who live and work in ‘deep rural’ Wales. Especial thanks are extended to respondents to the household questionnaire; agencies and organisations who responded to the service provision questionnaire; those people who organised the focus

Thank you for your request which I received on 4 March 2016 about a copy of Welsh Government 21st Century Schools Survey for Powys schools. The information you requested accompanies this letter. It is taken from a survey that was conducted on behalf of the Welsh Government by a contractor in 2010. Since then works may have been carried out on many of the schools listed and therefore the list may not reflect the current state of those school sites. The 21st Century Schools and Education Capital Investment Programme targets schools in poor condition and many of them will benefit from that investment. No further surveys have been carried out by or on behalf of the Welsh Government since 2010. If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response. Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at: Information Rights Unit, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ or Email: [email protected] Please remember to quote the ATISN reference number above. Y Grŵp Addysg a Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Education and Public Services Group You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF However, please note that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been through our own internal review process.
