1)            Condolences

 

a)         Manchester Arena Bombing

 

The Presiding Member referred with sadness to the terrorist attack at Manchester Arena on 22 May 2017.  The attack which happened at the end of a concert by American singer Ariana Grande whose music is popular with children and teenagers has left 22 people dead and 59 people injured.

 

Flags outside the Council’s Civic buildings were flown at half-mast and a vigil was held at 18.00 on 23 May 2017 in Castle Square in order to mourn for the victims of the bombing.  This vigil coincided with one held in the heart of the city of Manchester.

 

b)           Former First Minister Rhodri Morgan

 

The Presiding Member referred with sadness to the recent death of former First Minister Rhodri Morgan.  Rhodri Morgan was the First Minister of Wales from 2000 to 2009.  As of 2017, he was the longest-serving First Minister of Wales.  Rhodri was elected Chancellor of Swansea University in October 2011.  He was described by many as the father figure of Welsh politics.

 

c)           Former Councillor Mansel Lewis

 

The Presiding Member referred with sadness to the recent death of former Councillor Mansel Lewis.  Mansel Lewis represented the Victoria and Castle Electoral Wards on the former West Glamorgan County Council.

4)            Mike Hawes, Director of Resources

 

The Presiding Member stated that tomorrow marked the last working day for our Corporate Director of Resources, Mike Hawes.

 

Mike was educated at Bishop Gore School and in 1976 he left to take up the post of Audit Clerk in a local accountancy firm.  He earned his Diploma in Advanced Accounting in 1981 and joined Swansea City Council as an Audit Assistant on 1 February 1982.  He has held 13 different posts in this Authority and has clocked up an impressive 35 years of public service.  Mike retires tomorrow having reached the highest echelons of senior management in local government.

 

Mike has been a loyal servant to the City and to this Council and he has helped steer us through some difficult times.  I am sure that Mike will have some exciting plans for his retirement and I hope I speak on behalf of Council when I wish him a long and happy retirement.  Thank you Mike.

 

5)            Peace Mala Award

 

The Presiding Member congratulated Hafod Primary School as the first school in the UK to achieve the Peace Mala Gold award.  Peace Mala focuses on the golden rule “treat others as you would like to be treated yourself”.

 

The school educates and reminds everyone that this rule is recognised by many scholars, teachers and philosophers.  It promotes friendship, respect and peace between the faiths and all people in our World.  It cuts through all forms of prejudice and celebrates what makes us different from each other.

 

Our vision is a vision for the future….where all children can be part of creating a better World.  It tackles bullying of all kinds. With education of the different faiths comes tolerance and respect.

 

6)            Wales’ First Professional Teaching Awards

 

The Presiding Member stated that the Welsh Government established the Professional Teaching Awards Cymru to recognise the best in schools across the country and to celebrate the commitment, dedication and inspiration of the teaching profession in Wales.

 

At a special event in Cardiff City Hall on 7 May 2017, the winners were presented with a special Griffith Jones Award.  Griffith Jones of Llanddowror turned the Welsh into one of the world’s most literate nations during the 1700s.

 

He was delighted to announce that Mark Thompson, Head Teacher of St Helen’s Primary School was named the best Head Teacher in Wales.  Mark Thompson has led St Helen’s Primary School since 2011.

 

Mr Thompson was not the only winner from Swansea.  Bethan Baglow of Olchfa School won the award for School Business Manager / Bursar.

 

He congratulated Mark Thompson and Bethan Baglow for their achievement.

 

7)            Blue Flag Status

 

The Presiding Member stated that the Blue Flag Award is a highly respected international award owned by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) that runs in 49 countries across the world.  Administered in Wales by Keep Wales Tidy, the awards are only given to beaches and marinas that boast the highest quality of water, environmental education and management, safety and services.

 

Keep Wales Tidy works with partners including the Welsh Government, Natural Resources Wales and Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, as well with local authorities and volunteers across Wales, to help keep standards high by restoring, protecting and maintaining the beaches Wales has to offer.

 

He was delighted to announce that five Swansea attractions have retained their Blue Flag status.  The attractions being Bracelet Bay, Caswell Bay, Langland Bay, Port Eynon and Swansea Marina.

 

8)            Purple Flag Award

 

The Presiding Member stated that the Association of Town Centre Management (ATCM) has recently confirmed that Swansea City Centre has been successful in renewing its prestigious Purple Flag status, the only area in Wales to have such an accolade, following a comprehensive renewal process.

 

The Award, which like Blue Flag for beaches and Green Flag for Parks, recognises the effective management practices and continuing development of Swansea’s evening and night time economy across a broad range of assessment criteria.

 

The Award, which was first received in 2014, demonstrates the ongoing partnership approach to the management and development of this sector and also forms a key part of the emerging long term strategy for Swansea’s vibrant and diverse evening and night time economy.  Congratulations to all involved.
