The Head of Regeneration and Economic Development gave an overview of the report. Members questioned the Officers and Cabinet Member on the content of the report – to access a full recording of the comments made please refer to the Council’s YouTube channel: Democratic meetings / Cyfarfodydd democrataidd. · The Committee praised the Newport Placemaking Plan for its vision, ambition, and the extensive consultation process that involved various stakeholders and the public. Members highlighted the importance of having a plan that sets a clear direction for the city's future development and commended the efforts to engage the community in shaping the Plan. · The Committee recommended that a robust governance and accountability structure be established for the delivery of the Placemaking Plan. This should include clearly defined reporting lines, a list of lead officers or organisations responsible for each strand of work, and a requested to return the item to scrutiny in 18 months for formal review. The Committee also recommended that the Cabinet should be fully informed of these arrangements and the mechanisms in place for monitoring progress. · The Committee sought clarity on the definition of the document as a plan versus a strategy. The background to this was explained by officers during the meeting, however Members recommended that further detail be included in the plan to signpost where actions and measures will be set out and monitored. Suggested key performance measures could include tracking outputs such as events or job creation, as well as longer-term outcomes such as accessibility, safety, and environmental performance. · The Committee recommended that the Council develop a communication strategy that promotes the plan’s ambitions and achievements, particularly quick wins, and helps shape a more positive narrative around city centre regeneration. Members emphasised the importance of celebrating success and encouraging stakeholders, such as local businesses and community organisations, to actively promote the city and its improvements.

Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
Caiff datganiadau eu darllen o'r cofnodion unwaith y byddan nhw wedi'u cyhoeddi.
Yn rhestru cynghorwyr presennol y cyngor yn unig. Nid yw aelodau cyfetholedig, swyddogion a chyn-gynghorwyr yn cael eu dangos.
