How we’re planning totransform your servicesSWANSEA Council’stransformation programmewhich aims to createservices which are leaner,fitter and more responsiveto the communities theyserve is taking a stepforward.

Important activities like the council’s

civic building cleaning services and

business support, including customer

contact, are set to be transformed

following a review of the way they

currently operate.

Other services will also be set for

changes in the coming months and years

as the council does in-depth reviews of

its services.

Rob Stewart, Leader of the Council,

said: “Over the last two years or so the

council has made savings of around

£50m, but there is still a lot more to do.

According to the Council’s mid-term

budget report Central Government is

preparing for budget cuts of up to 40%

and there is likely to be consequential

reductions for the Welsh Government of

a similar size.

“So it’s being predicted that, due to

this inevitable increased pressure on

services and reduced funding, we can

expect to have to make savings of up to

£100m in the next few years."

“Even if we didn’t have these funding

pressures we would still want to

transform public services in Swansea to

deliver on the priorities we share with

the people of Swansea.

“That’s why recognised some time

ago salami slicing budgets would not

work and now we’ve agreed in-house

transformation of services is the best

option to deliver the efficient services

our communities need and want.

“Thanks to our foresight we are

ahead of the game and that’s why we’ve

made a lot of progress transforming

services through Sustainable Swansea –Fit for the Future, the council’s

transformation programme.

“We have to do this this not only

because we need to save money - but

because otherwise the services would be

lost altogether and for good - such is the

scale of cuts forced upon us.”

The purpose of a commissioning

review is to take an in-depth look at

each council service, think about what

each will need to do in the years ahead

and then work out how it can be done

better. This approach aims to ensure

services are more flexible and

responsive to people’s needs as well as

reduce costs.

Clive Llloyd, Cabinet Member for

Transformation and Performance, said:

“We are also adopting a much more

commercial approach to the way we

deliver services and optimise all

opportunities to generate income.

“We know residents agree with us

that the old ways of simply cutting or

stopping services is not the way

forward. That is why we have adopted

this commissioning review approach.”

The commissioning review process

has been going on inside the council for

a number of months and it has included

wide consultation with staff, with trade

unions and with partner organisations.

Swansea LeaderNewspaper of the City and County of Swansea Issue 100 November 2015

THE first three services to benefit from commissioning reviews:• BUSINESS support – back-office activities will be transformedto centralise services and reduce costs.• GOWER Outdoor Activity Centres – the service will focus oncentres at Borfa House and Rhossili following closure of Dan-y-Coed.• IN-HOUSE cleaning services – Modernised and improved by thein-house team.

Our pothole fillers helpkeep you on the move

EXPERT repair staff willcontinue to maintainSwansea’s roads thiswinter to help keep thecity moving.

Despite the cold and the rainSwansea Council teams will beinspecting roads, doing maintenancework and carrying out repairs.

So far this year council road repairteams have fixed more than 5,000potholes and other road defects.

As well as a number of teams whoare out every day throughout theyear, the PATCH project (PriorityAction for Community Highways)has also been spending an intensiveweek in communities across Swanseasince mid-April.

In November and December,they’ll be heading to Killay, Dunvant,Bishopston, Oystermouth, WestCross, Newton and Mayals.

David Hopkins, Cabinet Memberfor Environment and Transport, said:“It’s inevitable at this time of yearthat our roads will get damagedbecause of heavy volumes of trafficand cold and wet weather.

“Despite the miserable winterconditions, our staff will continue tokeep on top of road inspections andwill log and carry out repairsaccording to their priority - but theycan’t be everywhere at once. This iswhy I’d urge motorists to let us knowif they see any road damage thatneeds fixing. If it’s an emergency,then the public can rest assured that a

repair will take place within 24hours.”

A recent report found Swansea’sroads are among the best maintainedin Wales. Figures released by theWelsh Government and LocalGovernment Data Unit show thecity’s roads are in the second bestcondition of all council areas acrossthe country.

Swansea Council is using moneyfrom its insurance reserves to supportthe £3.28 million it’s already pledgedto highway infrastructure works.

The extra money has partly comeabout because of the council’ssuccess rate in combatting non-personal and personal injury claimsrelating to highway defects.

Our #tidySwansea message is clearSCHOOLCHILDREN are leading acampaign in the city’s parks bycalling on dog owners to clean upafter their pets.

The clean-up call to dog owners isto ensure parks and other play areasin Swansea are dog poo free.

Swansea Council has been urgingpet owners to be more responsible aspart of its #tidySwansea anti-littercampaign, warning that they’llotherwise face a fine from litterenforcement officers who patrol ourbeaches and parks.

Children from Brynmill and GlaisPrimary Schools have now got in onthe act and have designed their ownbanners which will be put up at morethan 20 parks around Swansea.

Five banners have been chosen andwere designed by Cora Ellacot fromBrynmill School and Amy-LeighDickerson, Lewis Jones, HollySalmon, Luke Jones and TomosButterworth, all from Glais PrimarySchool.

Mark Child, Cabinet Member forWellbeing and Healthy City, said:“This is something we are taking veryseriously throughout the city.

“The majority of dog owners inSwansea are responsible and clean upafter their dog. This latest campaignscheme will encourage the minoritythat don’t to do the right thing or facethe consequences.”

Cllr Child added: “There are morethan 500 dog poo bins in the city sothere’s really no excuse for ownersnot to pick up after their pet.”

• MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Pupils at Brynmill and Glais primary schools are supporting the #tidySwansea campaign

A SPECIALIST SwanseaCouncil care home hashelped one lady turn herlife around after injury sothat she can help servechildren in her communityagain.

Tina Dorrian, who is 63, only hadthe use of one arm after contractingmeningitis as a baby but didn’t let itstop her regularly helping out atthree different playgroups.

But then came the day Tina badlybroke her other arm in a fall, whichleft her in a lot of pain and with no

one to care for her while she wasimmobilised.

She was referred for a temporarystay in Bonymaen House, whichprovides a specialist service for

people who need a little extra help tocarry on living at home.

After six weeks in the home whileher arm started to heal enough forher to use it, Tina moved into a flat

in Sketty. She said she felt moresettled than she had for a long time.She said: “The people in BonymaenHouse were absolutely marvellous, Icouldn’t fault them. Before I brokemy arm and went to BonymaenHouse I had spent years caring for anaunt with dementia and I was feelingso low. Breaking my working armwas just the latest thing. They helpedme back to confidence and I feelsafe.”

Tina is back working as avolunteer at the three playgroups shehelps out with, and is slowly getting

over the four fractures she sustained.The Bonymaen House ‘Step Up-

Step Down’ service pilot began withtwo beds for people coming intoBonymaen House from hospital ortheir own homes in a personal crisissituation. The number of beds hasnow increased to 19.

Several hundred people like Tinahave come through the doors ofBonymaen House and have gatheredthe resilience and support to enablethem to have the opportunity toreturn to their own homes withconfidence.

Memorable placeA BLUE plaque has beenunveiled at St Helen’s inSwansea to forever mark theground’s contribution tosporting greatness since thelate 19th Century.

The ground, which firstopened in 1873, has playedhost to some of the mostmemorable occasions in thecity’s sporting history over theyears.

PLANS have been unveiled which could see thefirst council houses built in Swansea for ageneration.

Swansea Council is looking at the potential fortwo small pilot schemes which could see newcouncil houses built in Penderry and Llansamletover the next few years. The pilot schemes are partof a longer term strategic plan for the Council toprovide many more affordable homes in the future.

Work has already been done to identify plots andhomes could be built on a site in Milford Way,

Penderry, and at Parc y Helig in Birchgrove.If these schemes get the go-ahead they will be

funded by revenues from council rents. Theschemes would not be paid for from council tax.

Cllr Andrea Lewis, Cabinet Member for NextGeneration Services, said: “It’s no secret thatdemand for good quality, affordable homes to rentisn’t being met in sufficient numbers. Families andcommunities are suffering as a result and Swanseahas the determination to do something about this.

“Tackling poverty and building sustainable

communities are two of the council’s top prioritiesand providing new affordable homes will help us toachieve both.

“Changes to the way council housing is financedin Wales came into effect in April, which means wecan now consider a return to building once again.This is something we haven’t been able to do untilnow due to government restrictions since the 1980s.There’s a critical shortfall in the number of homesin Swansea for affordable rent and the sooner westart to fill this gap, the better.”

Council set to build affordable homes

and the green space outside isfantastic to see.

“Staff there have been unshackledfrom Victorian buildings notremotely fit for the 21st century andall that released energy is beingchannelled into education andteaching to set up pupils for life.

“It’s exactly what we believe willbe achieved with new schools forGowerton and Llansamlet. Childrenat both schools are currently beingtaught in buildings which are wellpast their use-by date.

ONE or more developers are expected to beappointed later this month to regenerate two keySwansea city centre sites.

Swansea Council’s Cabinet is meeting towards theend of November to approve the appointment ofexperts to redevelop the Civic Centre and St David’ssites.

Developers on the shortlist submitted their finalbids in September before giving detailedpresentations. Senior officers and members at thecouncil have been considering the submissions alongwith the council’s specialist property advisers,Cushman and Wakefield.

The final bids include a submission from

Bellerophon, who are heading up a consortium bidincluding M&G (Prudential), Dawnus Constructionand SSE & Apollo (IMAX). Bids from QueensberryReal Estate, Rightacre, Rivington Land and Acme,and Trebor Developments are also being considered.

Cllr Rob Stewart, Swansea Council Leader, said:“The final bids and presentations were really veryimpressive, and confirmed that the ambitions wehave for our city centre can be delivered.

“We need a vibrant city centre with the right mixof top quality shops, restaurants, office space,cinemas, bars and public spaces that’s up there withthe very best in the UK.”

A mixed-use development is being proposed for

the St David's site that could include retail, leisureand office space. Outline proposals for the CivicCentre site, which has been recommended as thenumber one site of Welsh national priority status in areport produced for the Swansea Bay City Regionboard, include landmark tourist developments andhigh quality public spaces.

Demolition of Kingsway’s former Oceana buildingwill also soon take place in a separate scheme.

“Subject to funding, we hope the demolition of theOceana building will pave the way for a new officedevelopment on site to kick-start the transformationof Kingsway into an employment district,” said CllrStewart.

Countdown to city centre choice

MAJOR stars of Britishstage and screen areamong the latestcelebrities to have struttedtheir stuff in Swansea’sGuildhall.

Bond girl Gemma Arterton, whostarred alongside Daniel Craig inQuantum of Solace, and Bill Nighy,who’s starred in films including LoveActually, filmed scenes for their newmovie in the historic building at theend of September.

The new film, called Their FinestHour and a Half, tells the story of aBritish film crew attempting to boostmorale during World War Two bymaking a propaganda film after the

Blitzkrieg.Swansea Council worked closely

with the production company toensure that Swansea was chosen for arange of locations to feature in thefilm. Arterton and Nighy follow in thefootsteps of Elijah Wood, a leading

star of the Lord of the Rings trilogy,who was also recently in Guildhall tofilm a movie about Dylan Thomas.Guildhall has also been usednumerous times to film Dr Who.

Robert Francis-Davies, CabinetMember for Enterprise, Development

and Regeneration, said: “We set up adedicated one-stop shop a number ofyears ago to handle filming enquiries,promote Swansea as a film-friendlydestination and make the process asseamless as possible for productioncompanies who contact us.

“We’re very successful inconverting enquiries - particularlywhen the location being sought isn’tnecessarily unique and we’re incompetition with other places.

“The establishment of the Bay FilmStudios has demonstrated we havegreat locations to attract film makersand producers and fantastic local,creative talent capable of producingworld-class productions.”

Movies are making a starof our iconic Guildhall

• AND ACTION: Movies like the Elijah Wood Dylan Thomas biopic, Set Fire to the Stars, was filmed at Guildhall andwill help put Swansea on an international stage

PROMOTING Guildhall and other council venues as movie and TVlocations helps generate income for the council which can be used tosupport services and make savings as part of the council’sSustainable Swansea - Fit for the Future transformation programme.

Robert Francis-Davies, Cabinet Member for Enterprise,Development and Regeneration, added: “TV and movie filming is verypositive news for the city. It raises Swansea’s profile, helps attracttourism and offers direct economic benefits because of the largenumbers of cast and crew who often stay in local accommodation andspend money with local businesses.”

Students are an important addition to our localcommunities and we are keen to make them feelwelcome and to get them on board with the manydifferent services available to them.”

To help students get on the right track with thehousehold waste services, more than 1,500 recyclingkits have been delivered to homes in Brynmill,

Uplands, Mount Pleasant and Sandfields.On top of that 9,000 homes are being targeted for

extra support as part of the wider #KeepItOutcampaign.

Cllr Hopkins said: “We’re monitoring how peopleare getting on and where our teams find cases wherehouseholds are not making full use of the recyclingservice, we’ll knock on their door and ask them ifwe can help with extra advice.”

Plans to plug intoa bright ideaMORE charging points forelectric cars could soon beintroduced in Swansea.

The council has registeredan interest with the Office forLow Emission Vehicles for thenext round of funding to helpcover the costs of additionalcharging points.

The council already has 11electric cars in its fleet ofvehicles. Charging points arelocated in the council’s depotsbut a successful fundingapplication could see moreput in place in around the cityfor residents and visitors.

The one-stop shop, run by acharity called Hafan Cymru onbehalf of a multi-agencysteering group, has comeabout thanks to funding fromthe Welsh Government andthe Big Lottery Fund.

The building’s refurbishmentmeans a number of partnerorganisations are all nowlocated under one roof, whichhelps domestic abuse victimsand anyone looking for moreinformation about domesticabuse find support.

Swansea Council’s natureconservation team has puttogether a voluntary code ofconduct for sea users whichhas been distributed togroups including commercialand recreational fishermenusing inshore waters fromBridgend to Swansea.


Blueprint aims to shapecity for next generationTHOUSANDS of residents,businesses andcommunities have beenhaving their say on thefuture shape of our city inone of the council’slongest-runningconsultation exercises.

The Local Development Plan willprovide a blueprint for the future usesof land right across the city for thenext decade, including opportunitiesfor new housing, industrial, retail,leisure and green space developments.

The council has been determined tomake sure residents play a full part inreaching the final proposals and overthe last five years more than 50,000responses to the consultation havebeen received.

Last year the Council agreed thepreferred strategy for the LDP whichproposed that in the next decade thecity will need land for more than17,000 new homes and provide for14,000 new jobs.

Next spring the council intends topublish a final draft version of theLDP for another round of consultationand Councillor Robert Francis-Davies,Cabinet Member for Enterprise,Development & Regeneration, said itwould be vital that all communitiescontinue to have their say.

He said: “The LDP has been a workin progress since late 2009 and isscheduled to receive finalendorsement by the WelshGovernment in 2017. Projects likethese are designed to take a long timebecause the implications are wide-ranging and will have an impact formany years to come.

“The LDP is designed to allocateland for specific purposes such asindustrial development, schools,housing and green space. It’s vital weget the mix right. If there’s notenough space allocated for industrialdevelopment then we risk stiflingeconomic prosperity.

“At the same time if we don’tallocate enough space for housing,then the risk is that too many familiescan’t find or afford a decent place tolive. At the same time we also need to

make sure there’s enough green spacefor people to enjoy.

“The Council has gone the extramile to engage with local business,communities, site promoters andindividual residents in the process andI’m delighted they have responded inkind.”

Over the summer the council’splanning committee staged specialmeetings to look at potential

candidate sites, formally consider thepetitions received from objectors andlisten to the views of site promoters.

The results of those meetings werereported to Council last month andhave now been endorsed to beincorporated into the draft depositLDP which is due for a period ofpublic consultation next spring.

IF YOU’VE ever wanted to have your say on a regularbasis about the services and activities of Swansea Council,now’s your chance.

We’ve launched a recruitment drive for new members of

our Swansea Voices Citizens’ Panel, a group of people we

regularly contact to find out what residents think of what

we do.

Clive Lloyd, Cabinet Member for Transformation and

Performance, said Swansea Voices plays a key role in

influencing the way the council goes about its business.

He said: “We’ve got a very strong track record on

consultation and engagement with our residents. For

example we’ve had tens of thousands of comments and

ideas from residents through the Local Development Plan

process over the last few years.

“And residents too have had an important say in the

shape of Sustainable Swansea – Fit for the Future, our

services transformation plan, with thousands of people

taking part in the consultation.

“Swansea Voices allows us to approach residents to do

regular ‘temperature checks’ and gives them the opportunity

to air their views and to have an input into council service

planning and delivery, what people think of services we

provide ranging from children’s services to potholes and

street lighting, from graffiti removal to adult social care and

leisure provision.”

Members of the Swansea Voices panel need no special

qualifications or expertise. But they need to be resident in

Swansea and be available to participate in the consultation

three or four times a year. Members of the panel are not

paid for their work.

Cllr Lloyd said: “Our priorities are the priorities of all

the people of Swansea. It’s important we listen to as many

people as possible, not just to those who tend to shout the

loudest. One of the ways we do this is by going out to

consultation. Another is through Swansea Voices.
