Take Part In Newport’s Well-Being Assessment

One Newport, the city’s Public Services Board (PSB), is seeking views on the well-being of the city and its residents. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Under the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, PSBs must prepare and publish an assessment of local well-being which in turn will be used to set objectives for a local well-being plan. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

A draft assessment has been prepared for consultation which provides an overview, plus data and analysis relating to economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being for the city as a whole, and its 20 communities/wards. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

It takes account of views expressed during a public engagement exercise which ran from June to October 2016. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

We are now asking residents to complete a consultation questionnaire to establish whether the draft assessment is a fair and accurate reflection of the state of well-being of the people of Newport, of each community and the whole area, or whether there are any gaps. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The consultation runs until Sunday 12 February 2017. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
