We’re fixing potholes fastto keep traffic on the goTHOUSANDS of potholes are set tobe quick-fire filled in communitiesacross the city following the launchof a new 48-hour repair service.

Swansea Council has set up new pothole repairteams which are aiming to fix potholes within 48hours. Under the new scheme residents who reportthe problems will get updated when the job is done.

The council’s new pothole repair teams are partof a road and pavement repair programme that’saiming to keep the city on the move by fixingaround 10,000 defects a year.

David Hopkins, Cabinet Member for Highwaysand Transportation, said the new high-visibilitypothole repair teams are in addition to the popularPATCH teams and planned road improvements.

He said: “We want people to report potholes to us

as soon as they see them. Our commitment is to doall we can to fix them within 48 hours.

“Potholes happen because of wear and tear onour roads caused by weight of traffic and theweather. It means they are occurring all the timeand so filling them in is a never-ending job, but it’s

one that our Pothole Repair Teams are determinedto get a grip on.

“The teams will have special vans and signs sothat passing motorists can see that they are workinghard to fix potholes and keep traffic moving.”

Under the new system those who report thedefect will have the opportunity to get an update ifthey share their email address with the council.

Cllr Hopkins said: “Fixing potholes within 48hours of being reported is a tough challenge and wewill do our best to meet that challenge. On someoccasions when there’s a lot of rain, snow or there’sa lot of ice about we may not be able to completethe work because of the road conditions, althoughwe’ll do all we can to catch-up afterwards.

He added: “Residents can be assured we’ll do allwe can to get the job done as quickly as possible.”

Have your say on futureshape of our community

IT’S now time to haveyour say on the shape ofSwansea Swansea overthe next 10 years.

Swansea Council has kick-startedthe latest round of consultation on theLocal Development Plan (LDP) andit will run until later this month.

The Council recently approved theDeposit LDP and is now calling onresidents and other interested partiesto comment on the draft plan beforeit is presented to an independentplanning inspector for examination.

The LDP is essentially a blueprintfor the way our communities willlook over the coming years. It willinfluence planning decisions, identifyareas for development and areas

where development should not takeplace or will require careful control.

Detailed transport assessmentshave also been completed to considerwhat improvements are needed to theexisting highway infrastructure tocope with future development.

Robert Francis Davies, Cabinet

Member for Enterprise, Developmentand Regeneration, said: “We’vereached a very important stage in theproduction of our Local DevelopmentPlan and we would urge those withan interest to give us their views.

“The public has been involved atevery stage of this process and we

have been able to make amendmentsto reflect some of those comments.

“Deciding on how we shapeSwansea as a city for the next 10years is a complex process. We haveto consider the needs of communitiesand growth in population in order todevelop more housing and the localfacilities people need in newcommunities.

"Also important is the need toidentify land that can help boost thecity's economic prosperity andencourage businesses to set up in thecity."

Following the inspector’sassessment the LDP comes back tothe council for the final agreement ofcouncillors.

She said: “Modern kitchens andbathrooms are critical to maintain highstandards of living, so we’redetermined to ensure many thousandsof people benefit.

“Good quality council homes don’tjust help improve people’s health andwellbeing – they also improve theappearance of entire communities.

She added: “As well as this work,several other schemes are also underway as we make even more progresson tackling poverty and building thefirst new council homes in Swansea fora generation.

“With high energy efficiencystandards and local employmentopportunities at their heart, these planswill help meet the need for affordablehousing, contribute to the regenerationof communities as a whole and helptackle fuel poverty.

Offer lift to recyclingon your trip to the tipMOST residents will havemade a trip to one of thecity’s Household WasteRecycling Centres (HWRC)after having had a garageclear-out to get ridunwanted items that havebeen gathering dust.

All of what’s collected at the sitescount towards the city’s overallrecycling target and by 2020 we needto be recycling 64% of wastecollected at the kerb as well ast atHWRCs.

Each year, thousands of tonnes ofwaste pass through the sites atLlansamlet, Garngoch, Penlan, TirJohn and Clyne. While lots of what’staken there can be recycled, manyresidents often take black bags to thesites which then end up in landfill.It’s estimated that around 70% ofblack bag waste can be recycled.

And now things are changing a bit

as the city rises to the challenge ofhitting the 2020 target.

Part of the changes mean thecouncil will be converting some ofthe HWRCs into ‘recycling only’sites and the first of these changeshas already been made at Tir John.

David Hopkins, Cabinet Memberfor Environment and Transportation,said: “The review we carried out intowaste in the city really needed to

tackle the costs associated withrubbish disposal along with our long-term plans to meet WelshGovernment recycling targets.

“We spend around £4 million ayear taking waste to landfill when weknow that lots of this waste is madeup of recyclable materials.

“Limiting the number of blackbags residents can place out forcollection has assisted with this issue

and we are now focussing on the fivewaste sites in the city.”

For residents visiting Tir John itmeans they can only take recyclablematerials to the site and anyone withblack bags will be redirected toLlansamlet.

In the next few months the samechanges will take place at Garngochand Penlan. Further considerationwill also be given to additionalchanges at Clyne.

Improvements are also beingplanned to improve parking at thesites to make it easier for visitors.

Cllr Hopkins added: “Therecycling sites are a valued servicefor thousands of households and wewant to continue providing a serviceat all five sites. But we need to makesure the way the sites operatecontribute to the overall aims of thecouncil which is to reduce costs andboost recycling.”

Children’s giftkeeps givingYOUNGSTERS have beenwishing their much-lovedChildren’s Centre in Penlana happy birthday.

The famous landmarkwas the home to the firstFlying Start centre inSwansea a decade ago. Andnow both are enjoying theirbirthday celebrations.

Flying Start and theChildren’s Centre arededicated to helpingboosting children’s lifechances by supporting theirdevelopment and assistingparents to be the best theycan be.

Flying Start in Swanseabegan at the purpose-builtChildren’s Centre in Penlanbut now boasts 18 settingsacross the city.

Over 7,000 children havedirectly benefitted from theprogramme and JenRaynor, Swansea CouncilCabinet member forEducation, said: “Too

many children turn up totheir first day of nurseryschool totally unpreparedand ill equipped for schoollife.

“Flying Start providestargeted support to thosechildren and their familieswho need it most andschools tell us what a reallypositive difference it ishaving. That’s why we arehoping to reach even morecommunities in the future.”

Last year alone theFlying Start provided98,000 childcare sessionsto give children the skillsneeded to make the bestpossible start to school andenable their parents to seekwork or training.

The centres have alsoprovided 250 employmentopportunities on their sitesand supported many moreparents to secure work orwork experience in otherareas of the city.

THE Council also intends to expand the council’s famous CornerShop at Llansamlet. The shop has been a roaring success withvisitors either donating items that are too good to be thrown awayor have called in to pick up a bargain and decided to donatesomething themselves.

The Corner Shop sells everything from refurbished laptops andelectricals to cuddly toys and all of it at knock-down prices. Theproceeds help pay for environment education projects in the city.

Recordnumberin classATTENDANCE at Swanseaschools is set to reach a recordhigh again this year, accordingto the latest figures fromschools.

Schools are reporting over95% of primary school pupilsattended school regularly in2015 to 2016 – the best figurefor primary school attendancein Swansea since datacollection began.

Attendance at secondaryschools also reached an all-time high with more than 94%of pupils attending regularly inthe last school year.

It’s the result of apartnership of pupils, parents,schools and the local authorityto promote and enable goodattendance.

In the latest initiative thelocal authority has joinedforces with schools and localbusinesses to provide awardschemes recognising pupilswith outstanding attendanceand those dramaticallyimproving their attendance too.

Cllr Jen Raynor, SwanseaCouncil Cabinet member forEducation, said: “We celebrategood attendance because everylesson a child attends increasestheir chances of achieving theirpotential and having successfulcareers.

“Well done to all pupils withfull attendance and pupils andfamilies who worked hard thisyear to improve attendance.”

PREPARATIONS are underway to enable hundredsof pupils across Swansea to have access to high-quality music tuition when schools return from thesummer break.

Over 80% of schools have signed up to the city’snew Swansea Music Unit – a Swansea Councilservice which has developed out of the former jointWest Glamorgan Music Service.

The unit’s experienced staff have a successfulbackground of helping children learn music andenabling those with a particular interest to succeed intheir instrument of choice.

Many staff will have taught in their schools beforeand others will be settling in to new schools to bringtheir expertise and dedication to whole new classes of

youngsters.Jen Raynor, Cabinet Member for Education, said:

“September is a new era for school music services inSwansea and I am delighted the vast majority of

schools have signed up because that will open upopportunities to so many youngsters.

“We are confident, as we make the service strongerand demonstrate its professional approach, parents,pupils and schools will be reassured they are gettingsomething better than anything other music serviceproviders can offer.”

The way the system works nationally is thatschools make their own decisions on purchasingmusic tuition provision from their budgets. They canchoose music services from a council-run serviceunder what’s called a service level agreement (SLA).

So far 59 primary schools and 12 secondaryschools are getting a music service from the SwanseaCouncil Swansea Music Unit from September.

Music service hits the right note

PUPILS will be inspired toeven greater success overthe next 12 months thanksto millions of pounds ofspending on new schoolfacilities for our children.

Andrea Lewis, Cabinet member forNext Generation Services, said:

“These projects are designedthroughout with children and howthey best learn in mind, bringingclassrooms and other facilities right upto date so pupils reach their fullpotential.

“The Council works closely with

developers and schools to make sureinvestment on this scale brings aboutbenefits for the whole communityfrom jobs and training to play, sportsor community use facilities dependingon the particular scheme.”

The £9.8 million YGG Lôn Lasinvestment replaces a schoolenvironment which was wholly unfitfor purpose and will betteraccommodate demand for educationthrough the medium of Welsh forcoming generations.

The steel skeleton for the school isalready up on the site to the delight ofvisiting pupils who can hardly wait toexperience life in state-of-the artbuildings designed around theirlearning and well-being needs.

Pupils inspired as theirnew school takes shape

• LON LAS: Pupils from Lon Las have been witnessing their new school taking shape.

JEN Raynor, Swansea Council Cabinet member for Education, said:“Everyone accepts that the quality of teaching is what matters mostin helping children get the most out of education.

“Our extensive re-building programme helps schools provide betterlearning areas, inside and outside, and the technology to support thecurriculum.

“From first designs through the construction phases all theconstruction companies and builders have given the children valuableinsights into crafts and project management.”

Tens of thousands of people willbe descending on some of Britain’sfinest beaches this month to soak upthe sun on Gower, take a countrystroll on the Welsh Coastal Path orenjoy a day out at many ofSwansea’s other attractions.

Now the Council is urging peopleto take their litter home with themrather than leave it in the street, in apark, on the beach or on the coastalpaths, especially if bins are full.

David Hopkins, Cabinet Memberfor Environment and Transportation,said: “All the beaches we look afterinclude litter bins and we empty

them regularly, especially in thesummer months at beaches, in ourparks and other tourism hot spots.We also hand-clean beaches twice aday because we want to play our partin keeping our fantastic beaches neatand tidy.

"If you’re coming off the beach orleaving the park with your rubbishand the bin is full then please take it

home with you. It’s the right thing todo."

To help head-off problems withdisposable barbecues being left onbeaches, special bins have been putin at Langland and Rotherslade.

As part of the Tidy Swanseacampaign, litter enforcement officersare also regularly patrolling publicareas throughout the city, including

parks. People who leave litter aroundfull litter bins are still littering andcan face a £75 fixed penalty notice.

Cllr Hopkins added: “Tourismbusinesses, tourists and residentsalike prefer clean streets, beaches,parks and footpaths and that’s whythe Council spends more than £2m ayear keeping communities tidy.

“It’s also why we have teams ofenforcement officers out and aboutboth as a deterrent to peopledumping litter and to issue fixedpenalty notices if people don’t do theright thing."

“So I’d urge people to join forceswith us and play their part in keepinga tidy Swansea this summer.”
