Action Plan
Background
Each Partnership is encouraged to prepare a Community Action
Plan. This should set out a vision for the future of the community
and how that will be achieved.
The Action Plan should be based on an analysis of all the
evidence gathered by the Co-ordinator and Partnership. This will
include a profile of the community, statistical analysis and, most
importantly, consultation with the community. Part of the Plan will
be a description of this 'baseline'.
From this, certain priorities will emerge. These should be the
community's priorities, but should also be confirmed by statistics
and the views of other partners. The Partnership should seek to
address the key themes of
Communities First over the life of the programme.
The Plan will then outline how the partners are going to work
together to address these priorities. The Plan is likely to include
new projects and improvements/developments to existing ones; it can
also include ways in which partners are going to change how they
work or work together more effectively in response to community
consultation.
Projects in the Action Plan can apply to the Assembly for
Communities First funding, with the endorsement of the Partnership.
However, wherever possible other sources of funding should be
sought so that the maximum possible resources are drawn into the
community.
Each project should have targets so that its success can be
monitored. In addition, the Partnership should define some headline
outcomes that it hopes will be achieved in the community over the
10-year period and state how they will monitor and evaluate the
Plan.
Finally, each Plan should show how it fits into the bigger
picture and links to the Borough's Community
Plan.
The Plan is not a document that will be finished once and for
all, but one that can be updated with experience. As drafts become
available we will post them on this website.
Briton Ferry
West
The action plan summarises the overall vision and priorities of
the Communities First partnership for Briton Ferry West, as
identified through community consultations, local surveys and
available statistics. Projects both existing and planned, and
priorities covering seven key themes are identified, and the
document also provides historical, geographical, statistical and
strategic information to put this work into context. Examples of
previous work undertaken and full contact details are also
included.

Pelenna
The Pelenna Action plan has been brought together after
consultation with the community, which included using household
surveys and focus groups, in order to have a list of priorities,
thematically, which will be addressed.
Partnership working is important and will be well utilised.

Sandfields
This document is broken down into a series of themes. Each theme
gives a description of what is already available in the community,
priorities for the future, and projects to meet these priorities.
The Partnership publishes a quarterly report on its website that
outlines the progress on these projects. Each theme has a sub-group
that is open to anyone who wishes to contribute. The Plan is
available on the Sandfields First website (follow the link
below).
Please contact the co-ordinator, Christine Esposito, if you can
contribute to the delivery of this Plan (christine.sf@btconnect.com)
Upper Afan Valley
The action plan for the Upper Afan Valley was brought together
after the co-ordinator collated many forms of consultation that had
been completed in the valley over the last decade. This was then
combined with more recent forms of consultation in order to
prioritise the actions created. This action plan is now being
implemented in the area and is a working document for the local
community.

Upper
Dulais Valley
Draft - Nov. 2004
Sets out a detailed profile of the community and the 12 major
issues they wish to address. This draft has been distributed for
consultation. They particularly welcome views on how they can most
effectively address their priorities.
Draft - Nov. 2006
The action plan supplements the original community profile by
setting out the strategies drawn up by the partnership and defining
the work programme of the Communities First team arising from the
priorities identified in the initial document.

Ystalyfera &
Godre'rgraig
The action plan assesses the needs of the communities as
identified through a variety of consultation methods with local
residents. Background information to explain the inclusion of the
area in the Communities First programme and analysis of the
strengths and weaknesses of the community put these needs into
context. Specific aims, and measures to achieve these, are outlined
under eight key themes, as well as the partner organisations needed
to support this process. The projects are categorised using a
‘Traffic Light’ system to indicate their current stage of
progression.
