  • UK and Welsh governments today (2 February 2023) announce a new study to improve transport connectivity between south-east Wales and west of England
  • the study, backed by £2.7 million of UK government funding, will look at options for new railway stations and rail services on the South Wales Main Line
  • this project will focus on relieving congestion on the M4, a vital connector between south Wales and the rest of the UK

The UK and Welsh governments have today announced they are working together on a £2.7 million study, funded by the UK government, to develop options for new stations and services on the South Wales Main Line.

The study follows Lord Hendy’s recommendations from his review of transport connectivity across the UK, which put forward the need to relieve congestion on the M4.

A series of options will be considered as part of this study, among which is the development of 5 brand new stations between Cardiff and Severn Tunnel.

Transport Minister, Richard Holden said:

Delivering better transport links is a vital part of how we transform opportunities for people from across the United Kingdom.

That’s why I am so delighted that, working with the Welsh Government, we are getting the ball rolling on in-depth work to boost connectivity and drive growth.

Following the publication of Lord Peter Hendy’s Union Connectivity Review in 2021, the UK government committed to forging and strengthening transport links that will create a more cohesive and connected United Kingdom.

Research carried out for the report specifically highlighted how important travel across the border between Wales and England is, with a large number of people travelling daily for work, services and leisure.

Secretary of State for Wales David TC Davies said:

Good transport connections between south Wales and western England are essential for the economy in Wales, enabling businesses to grow and flourish and making life easier for people to travel for work and leisure.

This funding from the UK government is vital in exploring how best to relieve congestion across south Wales. I’m pleased to work with the Welsh Government on plans that could have a huge impact on the many thousands of people who use the transport network in south Wales every day.

Lee Waters MS, Deputy Minister for Climate Change:

This is a key step to tackle congestion around Newport and was one of the main recommendations of the Burns Commission, which was endorsed by Lord Peter Hendy’s Union Connectivity Review. The business case is compelling and we are keen to make progress so that we can get more people onto South Wales Main Line trains, complementing Welsh Government’s investments in improving access to rail.

Lord Peter Hendy also proposed reviewing the route connecting north Wales to the north-west of England, better connectivity with HS2 and a package of railway improvements to increase connectivity and reduce journey times between Cardiff, Birmingham and beyond.

South Wales Police precept increase for 2023 proposed | Barry And … – Barry and District News

South Wales Police precept increase for 2023 proposed | Barry And …  Barry and District News

A 7.4 PER cent hike in the money that council tax payers contribute to South Wales Police is being proposed as the force faces a budget gap of more than £20 million.

The precept proposal for next year (2023/2024) which is due to go before the South Wales Police and Crime Panel would see an increase of £1.86 per month for Band D properties, a 7.4 per cent increase for these properties on the 2022/2023 rate.

The force is facing a £20.8 million budget gap which the police and crime commissioner said must be made up through cuts and the precept.

Alun Michael, the police and crime commissioner for South Wales, said his proposals to the panel are only sufficient if they find ways of cutting another £9.6 million of spending this year.

He said that to maintain current funding across all requirements, it would require a precept increase of more than 13 per cent, which he “cannot even contemplate”, but with additional pressures it is now “impossible” to keep the level of increase down to the five per cent projected in the midterm financial plan.

He concluded that it will be “unsafe” to propose a precept less than 7.4 per cent for the coming year  which will provide a “workable budget” but not without considerable cuts and savings made in a variety of different ways to balance the books.

He added that most people will not pay the full increase because the figures are based on a band D property but said he is “not happy” about having to propose this specific increase in the precept but also added that he cannot put the people of South Wales at risk and that he would be failing in his duty if he did not ensure that they not only maintain the service but continue to tackle the big issues on which the public want and expect South Wales Police to deliver.

The background

The report from the commissioner which is going before the panel on Tuesday, February 7 said: “Setting the precept for 2023–2024 has been the most difficult in the 10 years I have had the responsibility of proposing the level of local support for Policing in South Wales.”

“The cost-of-living crisis is hitting every individual and every service, but having a greater impact on the most vulnerable in society which is why I want to avoid increasing the level of the preserved any further than is absolutely necessary.

“But the police budget has to be at a level that enables our officers and staff to keep people safe in the community – preventing crime and harm, responding to crime and a host of other challenges and working with partners to support safe, resilient, communities in the way that we have worked together so effectively before during, and since the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The core element of police finance is the Police Grant which is announced every December by a Home Office minister – I regret to say that the UK Government has failed to maintain the Police Grant at a level that would enable us to set a modest precept.

He said that the last period of austerity, had a major impact on police capacity. South Wales Police lost some 400 police officers and 100 PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) as well as many police staff which took the force to a number of police officers that was fewer than the then chief constable, Peter Vaughan, described as “safe”.”

Mr Michael added: “We took every possible step to restore numbers in subsequent years. The government has – belatedly – provided the money to employ more police officers, restoring the total to only just under the number employed by South Wales Police in 2010.

“That is welcome, although it will be some time before those new officers are fully experienced. Today 54 per cent of officers have less than five years’ experience which poses challenges to police management.

“And in future years we will have to find money from elsewhere to pay their increments and maintain their capacity because that is not being funded by central government. And the Police Grant for 2023/2024 includes no allowance for the 2023 staff pay award which will have to be found from cuts.

“Our ambition to strengthen neighbourhood, policing and respond to local community needs has been helped enormously by the provision of additional PCSOs funded by Welsh Government. There too we have an expectation and obligation to maintain the PCSO numbers that are funded from the Police Grant at our full establishment.

Mr Michael said that the key problem is that the additional “uplift” funding is provided on top of the basic police grant, which is only at “flat cash“ level. He said that this – in reality – is a significant cut.

He said they will be penalised should they reduce the police establishment from its current total and that removes the flexibility that was used to balance the books during the past decade.

Mr Michael said: “I am one of a number of Police and Crime Commissioners who wrote to the home secretary pleading for a level of police grant that would maintain a fair contribution from the exchequer to local policing. We object the way that ministers have shifted the burden away from the Exchequer and onto local council tax payers, but the reality of this year’s Police Grant settlement is a further shift in that direction.

“The Government’s sums simply do not add up and yet I have a legal obligation to bring forward a balanced budget and the obligation which stands above all others to keep the communities of South Wales safe by ensuring that the Chief Constable has the resources to do the job. ”

He said prevention is better than cure and compared to similar forces South Wales Police is the “most successful in reducing crime which brings a reduction in victims, clear value in avoiding costs to our  communities and success in the central responsibility of policing – to prevent crime and harm.”

“Of course, that does not bring a return into the police budget, but it is something that we are desperate to continue doing. So today we face a £20.8 million funding gap which must be made up through cuts and precept.

Next year’s budget

“My proposals to the panel are only sufficient if we find ways of cutting another £9.6 million of expenditure this year. And while the whole South Wales Police team is devoted to doing everything we can to find savings to ensure that the burden on local people is as low as it can be there is a limit to what is possible.

“While we will cut costs to get within budget there is no way the savings can be sufficient to fill the gap especially as we have to deal with inflation and the increased cost of fuel, energy, IT systems and building costs.”

He said that over the past 10 years, through the previous period of austerity, the force found £62 million in savings and despite that South Wales Police has “continued to perform impressively, to a very high standard” adding that it is “delivering one of the top performing police forces across the

UK” as well as “protecting the most vulnerable, at a time when the most vulnerable are going to need us most” and “keeping local policing and problem solving at the heart of what we do.”

Mr Michael said: “Even in these tough times I believe we achieve more with others than we can achieve alone so we continue to work with partners in Local Government, Welsh Government and in particular with others in the criminal justice system to deliver core services. We are determined to make the criminal justice system in Wales ‘the most effective, the most efficient and the fairest that it’s possibly can be.’

“That is not just an aspiration, but something on which we are making real progress. And against all of this background, demand is increasing in relation to public needs that would not normally be regarded as police responsibilities, but on which the public look to the police in times of need. To maintain current funding across all requirements would require a precept increase of over 13 per cent which I cannot even contemplate, but with the additional pressures described above, it is now impossible to keep the level of increase down to the five per cent projected in the midterm financial plan which was presented to the previous panel last year.

“I have therefore concluded that it will be unsafe to propose a precept less than 7.4 per cent for the coming year and the implications of that are spelt out below. That will provide a workable budget, but not without considerable cuts and savings made in a variety of different ways to balance the books.

“It is important to note that most people will not pay the full increase outlined below because the figures are based on a band D property. I am not happy about having to propose this specific increase in the precept, but I cannot put the people of South Wales at risk and I would be failing in my duty if I did not ensure that we not only maintain the service but continue to tackle the big issues on which the public want and expect South Wales Police to deliver.”

If approved, next year’s revenue budget for South Wales Police would be £358,698,700 and the capital programme would be worth £35.5 million.

A truck spilled 6 tons of paint onto a local highway in Thirroul, New South Wales, Australia, on January 31 — turning the road into something akin to a Jackson Pollock painting!

NSW Fire & Rescue personnel were quickly deployed to the scene. Luckily, the driver was not injured and responders were able to address the spillage.

“Paint is regarded as an environmental pollutant and would have caused significant damage to the local area if not contained,” NSW Fire & Rescue said in a statement on its website.

Two local politicians visited Chepstow-based Creo Medical to find out more about one of the fastest growing companies in Wales.

David Davies MP and Peter Fox MS visited the Monmouthshire firm whose technology is reducing the need for surgical intervention for the treatment of bowel cancer.

With their headquarters shortly to double in size in order to meet the growing demands of the business, particularly in terms of manufacturing and training, the local representatives had the opportunity to see and hear for themselves the difference Creo is making globally, as well as question why patients in Wales are yet to benefit from the technology.

David Davies, MParliament for Monmouth and Secretary of State for Wales, said: “This is an exceptional Welsh business which is already transforming lives across the globe – with clearly a lot more still to come.

“I was especially struck by the difference they are making in changing the pathways for those presenting with lesions in the bowel. I’m acutely aware of what an ordeal surgical intervention for bowel cancer can mean for patients and so to see here a company on our doorstep leading globally on a progressive alternative in this way is magnificent.

“It is, of course, a shame that the Welsh NHS has not yet chosen to adopt this technology. I’d hate to think of Welsh patients being at a disadvantage in terms of access to cutting edge treatment.”

Creo Medical recently also announced partnerships with surgical robotics giants Intuitive and CMR.

Peter Fox, MS for Monmouth, said: “What Creo are doing is phenomenal – taking a concept that started from a garage all those years ago and turning it into something that is truly industry leading and making an enormous difference to so many all over the world.

“The combination of engineering and scientific brilliance was clear to see – and it’s exciting to see them turning the heads of some of the most well established Medtech companies in the World with what they are doing.”

Chris Hancock, founder of Creo Medical, said: “It was a pleasure to welcome our distinguished guests here today, show them around our HQ and introduce them to a range of technology which we are extremely proud to now see treating patients on a daily basis across the globe.

“We are hopeful patients in Wales can soon be amongst those to benefit and look forward to working with local representatives and decision makers in order to help facilitate just that.”

Creo had a successful 2022 with an eight-fold increase in the sales of their core electrosurgical products and technology. Over the same period, the number of physicians trained to use the device doubled to more than 450, with an increasing pipeline of future adopters for 2023.

The Government of New South Wales (NSW), Australia, has shortlisted 16 projects in its first renewables tender auction.

The projects have more than 4.3GW of combined power generation and long-duration storage capacity.

They were selected under the NSW Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap, which aims to build at least 12GW of renewable capacity and 2GW of duration storage in the state by 2030.

The final projects will now be reviewed by AEMO Services to determine their potential for delivering financial value to NSW households and businesses.

It is estimated that the shortlisted projects will have the capacity to power nearly 1.6 million homes in the region.

NSW Treasurer and Energy Minister Matt Kean said: “This is a promising start to the A$32bn ($22.7bn) in private capital we expect to see through our ten-year schedule of rolling competitive tenders.

“The state’s nation-leading roadmap will ensure that NSW households and businesses have clean, reliable, and more affordable electricity for decades to come.”

Following the assessment, the applicants of selected projects will be given long-term energy service agreements to help modernise the state’s electricity system.

The shortlisted projects can submit their financial value bids until 10 February this year.

Earlier this month, Shell Energy acquired the development rights for Wallerawang 9, a 500MW battery energy storage system in NSW.

The project will be located at the former Wallerawang Power Station site near Lithgow.

It is being developed by asset management firm Greenspot as a master-planned, multi-use precinct and centre of economic growth.

Last month, Fotowatio Renewable Ventures Australia achieved financial close for the Walla Walla solar farm in Riverina, NSW.

The 300MWac solar facility will be linked to the national energy grid once it has begun operations.

Its development is expected to create up to 250 construction jobs.

‘Everyone’s different. It’s your style that makes you unique’, says … – South Wales Argus

The South Wales Argus Camera Club has more than 5,000 members and we regularly feature their pictures both in paper and online.

But we thought it would be good to find out more about the people who make up the club.

If you are a member of the club and want to be part of the our Behind the Lens feature go to www.southwalesargus.co.uk/behindthelens and fill out the easy to use Q&A.

Today we meet 14-year-old Jayden Mayo, of Caldicot.

When and why did you take up photography?

Four years ago I discovered that I really enjoy photography. Since I was young my mum has taken me out as much as possible, discovering and exploring and learning about places along the way. She has taught me how to use my camera and phone to capture moments. And I am so grateful because it has really given me a different outlook on life and it urges me to learn more.

Why do you love taking pictures?

Taking pictures is great! Not only does it capture a specific moment but it holds it as a memory and that’s what is important in life.

Where is your favourite place to take pictures and why?

I have been lucky to visit quite a few places but so far North Wales has been my favourite after a recent trip with school. It’s like another world, the views are incredible also the history of where I visit means a lot too.

What equipment do you use?

I have a basic Fujifilm camera and my Samsung smartphone. I don’t feel I need to pay lots of money for a new camera because it all depends on the eye behind the lens and the editing skills.

What is the favourite picture you have taken and why?

My favourite is the Menai bridge in North Wales. I took a couple there but this was my favourite. It also featured on TV.

Why did you join the SWACC and what do you get out of being a member of the group?

I joined because I felt it was a great way to learn and pick up tips and tricks. Also despite being young I have so much encouragement from other members.

What advice would you give anyone who wants to get into photography?

No matter how old or young you are, if you want to give it a go then go for it. Believe in yourself and just remember everyone’s different so no matter your style, it’s that which makes you unique.

If you could photograph anyone or any place who/what would it be and why?

I really would love to visit Norway or Switzerland. I love landscape photography and they both look amazing places.

Anything else you think we should know?

My photography has resulted in me coming first place in four competitions. I have been chosen to be in two Welsh calenders. Once I came first place alongside my mum who won the adult’s one. Now that was unreal.

Midwives across Wales will take strike action next month – South Wales Argus

Midwives across Wales will take strike action next month  South Wales Argus

Midwives across Gwent are set to go on an eight-hour strike next week amid claims of a growing crisis in Welsh Maternity services.

Members of the Royal College of Midwives working in the NHS in Wales, will take industrial strike action on February 7.

The strike comes a day after ambulance staff and nurses strike in a dispute over pay, the strike action will take place at 8am until 4pm.

The Royal College of Midwives have reassured the public that the safety of women will be the prime concern during any industrial action.

Julie Richards, the RCM’s Director for Wales, said: “There is a growing crisis in Welsh maternity services. We are losing midwives because they simply cannot sustain the incredible effort, they are having to make to ensure services are safe.

“They have also seen a decade and more of pay freezes and pay stagnation watching their pay packets significantly shrink with real terms pay cuts.

“To offer them a pay deal well below half of the rate of inflation is simply an insult that does a massive disservice to our maternity staff.

“Our members have made the decision to take industrial action after a great deal of thought and very reluctantly because their first concern is for the women, babies, and families they care for.

“However, they have been corralled into a dead end by Government and see no other option than take a stand for what they know is right for them, and most importantly for women.”

According to the union, midwives and maternity support workers will be on maternity units to ensure women in labour or those needing emergency care, receive the care they need.

A spokesperson for the Anuerian Health Board said: “Aneurin Bevan University Health Board Midwives and support workers who are members of the Royal College of Midwifery have voted to strike on the 7th February 2023.

“The safety of our patients is our main priority, and we’d like to reassure them that this will not affect the care provision for labour and emergency care.

“Any patients that will be affected will be contacted prior to the strike action, and anyone with concerns or queries should contact their midwife directly.”
