Views sought on Draft Wellbeing Plan
Neath Port Talbot Public Services Board has published a draft Local Well-being Plan and is asking for feedback to help ensure that the final plan will help to improve well-being across the county borough.
The Board brings together public, private and third sector organisations to improve the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of Neath Port Talbot.
Cllr. Rob Jones, Council Leader and Chair of the Neath Port Talbot Public Services Board said:
“In May 2017, the Board published a well-being assessment that captures the strengths and assets of people and communities across the county borough.
“The assessment told us that Neath Port Talbot has a lot to be proud of,such asour beautiful natural environment, our rich cultural and industrial heritage and our track record of attracting investment. It also highlighted the challenges and opportunities we face now and in the future in terms of improving social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being.
“The assessment has informed the priorities in the Draft Local Well-being Plan. We would very much appreciate feedback from residents, third sector organisations, charities, local businesses and community groupson whether these are the right things to focus on.”
The five local draft objectives in the plan are:
- support children in their early years, especially children at risk of adverse childhood experiences
- create safe, confident and resilient communities, focussing on vulnerable people
- encourage Ageing Well
- promote well-being through and in the workplace
- recognising how the green infrastructure can promote well-being
The consultation is open until Thursday 1st February 2018 and will be used to inform the final Well-being Plan which will be published before May 2018. More information and an online feedback form can be found at www.npt.gov.uk/psb, alternatively there are feedback boxes in Neath and Port Talbot Civic Centres, or the Libraries in Neath and Port Talbot Town Centres and Pontardawe Library, where paper versions of the feedback form can be posted.
Holi eich barn ar y Cynllun Lles Drafft
Mae Bwrdd Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Castell-nedd Port Talbot wedi cyhoeddi Cynllun Lles Lleol drafft ac mae’n gofyn am adborth i helpu i sicrhau y bydd y cynllun terfynol yn helpu i wella lles ledled y fwrdeistref sirol.
Mae’r bwrdd yn dod â sefydliadau’r trydydd sector, y sector preifat a’r sector cyhoeddus ynghyd er mwyn gwella lles cymdeithasol, economaidd, amgylcheddol a diwylliannol Castell-nedd Port Talbot.
Meddai’r Cynghorydd Rob Jones, Arweinydd y Cyngor a Chadeirydd Bwrdd Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Castell-nedd Port Talbot,
“Ym mis Mai 2017, cyhoeddodd y bwrdd asesiad o les a oedd wedi nodi cryfderau ac asedau pobl a chymunedau ar draws y fwrdeistref sirol.
“Dywedodd yr asesiad wrthym fod gan Gastell-nedd Port Talbot lawer i ymfalchïo ynddo, megis ein hamgylchedd naturiol prydferth, ein treftadaeth ddiwylliannol a diwydiannol gyfoethog a’n hanes o ddenu buddsoddiad. Amlygodd hefyd yr heriau a’r cyfleodd sy’n ein hwynebu nawr ac yn y dyfodol o ran gwella lles cymdeithasol, economaidd, amgylcheddol a diwylliannol. into the wild
“Mae’r asesiad wedi llywio blaenoriaethau’r Cynllun Lles Lleol Drafft. Byddem yn gwerthfawrogi’r fawr adborth gan breswylwyr, sefydliadau’r trydydd sector, elusennau, busnesau lleol a grwpiau cymunedol i weld a ydynt yn cytuno mai dyma’r pethau cywir i ganolbwyntio arnynt.”
Pum amcan y cynllun lleol drafft yw:
- cefnogi plant yn eu blynyddoedd cynnar, yn enwedig plant sydd mewn perygl o brofiadau andwyol yn ystod plentyndod
- creu cymunedau diogel, hyderus a gwydn, gan ganolbwyntio ar bobl ddiamddiffyn
- annog heneiddio’n dda
- hyrwyddo lles drwy’r gweithle ac yn ynddo
- cydnabod sut y gall isadeiledd gwyrdd hyrwyddo lles
Bydd yr ymgynghoriad ar agor tan ddydd Iau, 1 Chwefror 2018 a chaiff ei ddefnyddio i lywio’r Cynllun Lles terfynol, i’w gyhoeddi cyn mis Mai 2018. Gellir cael mwy o wybodaeth a ffurflen adborth ar-lein yn www.npt.gov.uk/5808.
