PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD SCRUTINY COMMITTEE
Would you like to be part of a committee that oversees and challenges how the public bodies across Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil are working together to make a difference to residents?
The Cwm Taf Public Services Board is a collection of public bodies, including Councils, Police, Health and the third sector working together to improve the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of people who live, work and visit the Cwm Taf areas of Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil.
The Cwm Taf Public Services Board is one of a number in place across Wales. The statutory basis for all Public Services Boards in Wales is the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. This Act came into force in April 2016 and makes all public bodies, think more about the long term; work better with people and communities and each other; look to prevent problems, and take a more joined-up approach to achieve seven national Well-being goals for Wales:
1. A prosperous Wales
2. A resilient Wales
3. A healthier Wales
4. A more equal Wales
5. A Wales of cohesive communities
6. A Wales of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh Language
7. A globally responsible Wales
Put simply, the Act means that every public organisation in Wales must show that it is working for the well-being of future generations. You can find out more about the Well-being of Future Generations Act here.
In February 2017, the Cwm Taf Public Services Board Joint Overview and Scrutiny Committee was established to oversee the work of the Public Services Board. At this first meeting, the Councillors on this committee agreed that two residents, one each from Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil Local Authority areas be invited to serve on the Joint Overview and Scrutiny Committee as Publically Appointed Independent Co-opted Members from June 2017 for two years.
Training and information will be provided to all committee members to help their work on this new committee, which will meet quarterly
If you would like to be considered please contact Karyl May, Head of Democratic Services at Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (Direct Line 01443-424045) by Wednesday 24th May 2017.
N.B. There is no salary or allowance for the role, but reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.

Merthyr Tydfil Global Village calls out for votes to bag a share of bag charge fund
Merthyr Tydfil Global Village Festival is bidding to bag a massive cash boost from the Tesco Bags of Help initiative.
Tesco teamed up with Groundwork to launch its community funding scheme, which sees grants of £4,000, £2,000 and £1,000 – all raised from the 5p bag levy – being awarded to local community projects.
Three groups in every Tesco region have been shortlisted to receive the cash award and shoppers are being invited to head along to Tesco stores to vote for who they think should take away the top grant.
Merthyr Tydfil Global Village Festival is one of the groups on the shortlist.
Merthyr Tydfil Global Village Festival is a FREE multi-cultural festival held annually in Merthyr Tydfil. It brings people together to celebrate what we all have in common.
The festival chair said: "We are delighted to have support from Tesco for our festival which will be held on Saturday, September 16thth on Penderyn Square in the heart of the town. It’s a great day of song, music, and dance from across the world and we get to share our Welsh heritage too.
Voting is open in stores throughout May and June. Customers will cast their vote using a token given to them at the check-out in store each time they shop.

Welsh Government Staff looking for Team Volunteering Opportunity
We've recently received a request from Welsh Government with regard to a team volunteering day in Merthyr Tydfil: 12 staff from housing are looking for ideally a housing based or community volunteering opportunity for one day - in the past they've assisted groups with painting/refurbing premises for example, while others have undertaken outdoor activities.
If you're interested, please email hilary.edwards@vamt.net by Monday 22 May, with a brief outline of the sort of opportunities you could offer, and we'll pass these along to Welsh Government.
Many thanks in advance.
