Gower Community Councils Website

Gowerton village is situated on the gateway to the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, historically, being the local education centre having a steel works and various small coal mines within its heart. Although a small village, we have both an English and Welsh medium comprehensive school, plus two primary schools, with a total school population of around 3000.

The Community Council has worked extremely hard over the last three years to honour the aspirations of our residents. A quarterly newsletter keeps villagers informed of progress and is a means of receiving continuous feedback. In this way we attempt to maintain and develop our community collectively.

Our Community Council consists of 13 voluntary Community Councillors and the Clerk. In 2002 the Council undertook a village appraisal offering each resident the opportunity to comment on village life. From this questionaire we gained a detailed insight as to how villagers wished the village to develop, what services they wished provided and how they perceived the Community Council in delivering services with them. Preservation of the older buildings, provision of facilities for youths and continuing with our landscape and floral provision to enhance amenity were identified as residents priorities.

We have recently become an active member in The Gowerton Partnership, teaming up with local schools, police and the City and County of Swansea to initialise more active progressions in relation to litter, anti-social behaviour among other issues. We feel this is a very positive step and look forward to the improvements we will see in the village in taking this step.

We hope you enjoy looking at the website, and of course if you have any questions or feedback please contact the Clerk - Serena Thomas by either email or phone.
