Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority has approved Public Services Boards Local Well-being Plans.

At its Fire Authority meeting on Monday, March 19, fire authority members approved six Local Well-being Plans for publication.

As a statutory partner on the Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire, Powys and Swansea Public Service Boards, the Service has been involved in the development of the Well-being Plans since April 2016.

The Local Well-being Plans will be published in May 2018. The service is committed to supporting the delivery of the Well-being Objectives within each Well-being Plan, as well as ensuring we consider the long-term impact of our decisions on the communities we serve.

The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 is directed at improving the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales. In doing so, the Act ensures that Public Sector organisations across Wales consider the long-term impact of their decisions, securing current and future generations a good quality of life. The Act also ensures that the challenges faced by Wales, such as climate change, poverty, health inequalities and jobs and growth are tackled by public bodies working together.
