The Swansea Rural Community Voice is a project aimed at establishing a Community Voice across 8 Swansea Wards and 25 communities providing the public and local communities with an opportunity to make improvement suggestions to local problems.

2014 – 2020

Swansea Rural Development Partnership

Swansea Rural Community Voice

The project uses a system called VocalEyes, a ‘made in Wales’ digital platform, available in both English and Welsh to provide the public with a tool to enable them to actively engage with the community by registering project ideas, building consensus via a rating system and develop and implement the project in a transparent way.

These local improvements can be registered via VocalEyes and when the required level of commitment is reached, the project implemented.

In effect, the project is providing the local communities with a platform to engage with their community to help them resolve local issues, with the ratings providing the evidence of public support.

It is envisaged that by the end of the project, there will be Community Organising teams set up in each Wards to continue to manage the project at local levels.

Project Factsheet

The Gower Sunday Explorer project aims to provide a revised and improved bus service between Swansea and Gower on Sunday’s in mid and high season, building on the success of similar services. The project also aims to develop the visitor travel market and visitor economy and improve accessibility for local residents.

2014 – 2020

Swansea Rural Development Partnership

Gower Sunday Explorer 2017-19

The bus service links Swansea to the greater part of Gower providing transport for the recreational needs of the city’s population and increasing the attractiveness to visitors to Swansea to have access to Gower during their stay.

The bus service allows more visitors to sample the food, drink, history, heritage, adventurous activities and visitor attractions in the Gower which in turn adds to the prosperity of businesses delivering these type services.

Marketing and promotion of the Gower bus service has added value to all of the Gower businesses by bringing the publics’ attention to the benefits of a day out in Gower, not only to those without their own means of transport who may otherwise be excluded, but also to those with their own transport, who would prefer to travel by more sustainable means.

Project Factsheet

The Digital Marketing for Sustainable transport project has been created to replace part of the Gower Sunday bus submission for an innovative digital marketing strategy. This project’s scope has includes cycling and walking in conjunction with the promotion of bus services, extended to all rural wards.

2014 – 2020

Swansea Rural Development Partnership

Digital Marketing for Sustainable Transport

Building on the existing promotions by both Tourism Swansea Bay and BayTrans through their respective websites, this project aims to create a desire to visit the area and increase more visitors into and within all rural wards by sustainable means, encouraging greater use by local residents and those of greater Swansea.

Residents of the rural Swansea wards will benefit from this project as well as numerous local businesses providing food and drink, visitor attractions, gifts and other services. It is anticipated that there will be an increase in income to these businesses with more money being spent by the increased visit footfall arriving by sustainable transport. Further benefits include evidence that those using public transport tend to spend more per head that those by car. Furthermore, fewer cars results in a reduction of carbon footprint, therefore reducing the pressure on roads and car parks. It is envisaged that after 3 years, the digital marketing will continue to develop income streams and sponsorship from the tourism trade to continue beyond 2019 without public support.

Marchnata Digidol ar gyfer Trafnidiaeth Gynaliadwy

Gan adeiladu ar yr hyrwyddiadau presennol gan Dwristiaeth Bae Abertawe a BayTrans drwy eu gwefannau, nod y prosiect hwn yw creu awydd i ymweld â'r ardal a chynyddu nifer yr ymwelwyr â'r holl wardiau gwledig drwy ffyrdd cynaliadwy, gan annog preswylwyr lleol i wneud mwy o ddefnydd o ardal ehangach Abertawe.

Bydd preswylwyr yn wardiau gwledig Abertawe, ynghyd â nifer o fusnesau lleol sy'n darparu bwyd a diod, atyniadau i ymwelwyr, anrhegion a gwasanaethau eraill, yn elwa o'r prosiect hwn. Disgwylir y bydd incwm y busnesau hyn yn cynyddu, gyda mwy o arian yn cael ei wario gan y nifer uwch o ymwelwyr a fydd yn cyrraedd gan ddefnyddio trafnidiaeth gynaliadwy. Mae manteision pellach yn cynnwys tystiolaeth bod y rheiny sy'n defnyddio cludiant cyhoeddus yn tueddu i wario mwy o arian yr un na'r rheiny sy'n teithio mewn car. Ar ben hynny, bydd llai o geir yn arwain at leihau ôl troed carbon ac felly'n lleihau'r pwysau ar ffyrdd a meysydd parcio. Disgwylir, ar ôl tair blynedd, y bydd marchnata digidol yn parhau i ddatblygu ffrydiau incwm a bydd y fasnach dwristiaeth yn parhau i noddi ar ôl 2019 heb gefnogaeth gyhoeddus.

Astudiaeth Dichonoldeb Porth Einon a Horton Nod y prosiect yw cynnal astudiaeth dichonoldeb i archwilio sut mae Cyngor Abertawe'n gweithredu ei asedau ym mhentrefi Porth Einon a Horton ym mhenrhyn Gŵyr. Bydd yr astudiaeth yn ystyried asedau'r cyngor megis toiledau, meysydd parcio, slipffyrdd a mannau cyhoeddus, ac yn cynnwys rhanddeilliaid lleol, preswylwyr a thwristiaid drwy gydol y tymor. Bydd hefyd yn ystyried cyfleoedd sy'n canolbwyntio ar fentrau twristiaeth blaengar, ynghyd â ffyrdd o wella cynaladwyedd yn y tymor hir a fydd o fudd i'r gymuned leol a'i heconomi. Caiff yr astudiaeth dichonoldeb ei chwblhau'n gynnar yn 2019 a nodir cyfleoedd a gweithredir arnynt unwaith y bydd adnoddau ar gael.

Yn dilyn cwblhau'r astudiaeth hon, byddai gennym ddogfen fyw y gellid ei defnyddio i roi newidiadau ar waith wrth i ffrydiau cyllid ddod ar gael.

Bydd busnesau'n elwa o isadeiledd a gwasanaethau gwell, gan arwain at brofiad gwell i'r rhai sy'n ymweld â'r ardal. Gyda gwelliannau, anogir mwy o ymwelwyr i aros yn hwy ynghyd â dod yn amlach, gan gyfrannu at economi leol well.

Y strategaeth ymadael ar gyfer y prosiect yw'r ffaith, ar ôl i ni gwblhau'r astudiaeth dichonoldeb, y byddai gennym ddogfen fyw y gellid ei defnyddio i newid y cyrchfan wrth i gyllid addas ddod ar gael.

2014 – 2020

Swansea Rural Development Partnership

Port Eynon & Horton Feasibility Study The aim of the project is to undertake a feasibility study to look at how Swansea Council operates its assets within the villages of Port Eynon and Horton on the Gower Peninsula. The study looked at council assets such as toilets, car parks, slipways and the public realm and engaged with local stakeholders, residents and tourists throughout the season. It will also look at opportunities focusing on innovative tourist ventures as well as ways of improving long term sustainability that benefits the local community and its economy. The feasibility study will be completed early 2019 and opportunities identified and acted upon once resources are made available.

Following on from the completion of this study we would have a working document that could be used to implement change as and when funding streams become available.

Businesses will benefit from improved infrastructure and services resulting in a better experience to those visiting the area. With improvements, more visitors will be encouraged to not only visit more frequently but stay longer contributing to an improved local economy.

The exit strategy for the project is on completion of the feasibility study we would have a working document that could then be used to implement changes to the destination as and when suitable funding becomes available.

2014 – 2020

Swansea Rural Development Partnership

Market at the Mill

The project would deliver three evening markets over the Summer period, one inside the school holidays, including a ‘make your own pizza’ educational activity and other educational activities for children, young people and families.

The pilot builds on the success of Cae Tan CSA weekly pick up, the popularity of Little Valley Bakery, Hoogars’, Square Peg Café and Swansea Food Assembly and increased public interest in organic and local produce as well as more community focused business models The market will take a commission from producers and make money from the sale of local beer, ciders and receive donations for taking part in educational activities.

If it is sufficiently well attended, this will provide the project with the necessary evidence to include in a business plan for the following year as well as create a small amount of funds on account to pay for the advertising and co-ordination of future events.
