CLARIFICATION: THE"CIVIC TRUST" AWARDS The Trust wishes to make it clear that we are not connected with this initiative. We understand the scheme is being promoted by a private company that has been formed since the closure of the English Civic Trust in April. Accordingly we cannot endorse this programme. We are currently exploring with relevant partners the design of an awards programme that would be better suited to the Welsh context than the former Civic Trust Awards. |

Members and friends of Rhiwbina Civic Society gathered on 16 September to install their first blue plaque, commemorating Iorwerth Peate, founder of the Museum of Welsh Life at St Fagans, poet and author. Guests included First Minister Rhodri Morgan (who as a child played with Dr Peate's son Dafydd), Lord Mayor Brian Griffiths, and Julie Morgan MP. The plaque itself was designed by Chepstow ceramacist, Ned Heywood.
The Trust has announced the successful scheme in its 2008/9 cycle of local design awards. Entries were nominated by civic societies across Wales. Illustrated here is an example of conservation and regeneration being carried out by the Bridgend Townscape Heritage Initiative, which wins a Special Award. The scheme was supported by Cadw and the Institute of Historic Building Conservation.
21 September 2009 Heritage Minister Alun Ffred Jones AM has published the most important documents on historic environment policy since 2003, setting out his vision and priorities for the management and interpretation of the Welsh heritage.|
