Schools, school places and buildings, additional learning needs and Welsh-medium education.
What councils do
Councils run community schools, fund every state school, provide school transport and support pupils with additional learning needs. They plan school places, including Welsh-medium places under a ten-year plan.
Who decides
The Cabinet decides on school changes, such as opening, closing or merging schools, after a formal consultation. Head teachers and governing bodies run each school day to day.
Having a say
Proposals to change a school must be consulted on, and anyone can respond. Parents can also become school governors.
In numbers
Welsh councils plan to spend £1,307 per person on this in 2026-27.
It ranges from £1,099 in Monmouthshire to £1,475 in Merthyr Tydfil.
Year 1 pupils taught in Welsh: 25% across Wales (2025-26).

C43 CLOSURE OF ACCOUNTS 2022/23 (EL/PR) (SCRUTINY –
CORPORATE PERFORMANCE AND RESOURCES) –
The Leader presented the report, the purpose of which was to inform Cabinet of the
provisional financial position of the Council for the 2022/23 financial year.
There had been significant inflationary and demand pressures during the year for
Childrens Services including legal costs for complex cases and placement costs,
supply of HGV drivers, rising fuel and school transport costs, additional pay
pressures and rising energy costs. Additional payments in Social Care were made to
social care providers to assist commissioning and recruitment and retention of
providers.
Minutes - MS
Some provision was made for additional Council Tax income of £1.5m earlier in the
year which was not achieved in full as arrears had increased but was able to be
offset by underspend elsewhere. Additional pay costs had been offset by vacant
posts in service budgets, however it was important to be mindful that vacant posts
put additional pressure on existing staff.
The Leader referred to a typographical error in paragraph 10.5 of the report that
referred to the 2020/21 the Statement of Accounts, which should have referred to the
2022/23 accounts, which was noted.
This was a matter for Executive decision.
Cabinet, having considered the report and all the issues and implications contained
therein
RESOLVED –
(1) T H A T the report and the financial measures taken and proposed be
approved.

Scrutiny Committee.

C44 CAPITAL CLOSURE OF ACCOUNTS 2022/23 (EL/PR) (SCRUTINY –
ALL) –
The Leader presented the report, the purpose of which was to inform Cabinet of the
provisional financial position of the Council’s Capital Programme for the 2022/23
financial year.
Delivering 98% of the programme before the end of the financial year had been
outstanding and due to the commitment and hard work across all directorates. The
Leader said it was important to recognise the work undertaken to deliver the capital
programme, not only the impact of the continued school building programme but with
work going on to maintain, renovate and update existing Council properties.
Councillor Wilson concurred with the Leader’s comments concerning the teams that
had worked so hard to deliver the capital programme, often under difficult
circumstances. He referred to the successful delivery of the Resource Recovery
Facility and that it was a delight to see it delivered and working.
Councillor John said that the development at Hayes Road that consisted of 19 four-
person two-bedroom houses and 4 five person three-bedroom houses was
extremely good news with further schemes in the pipeline which would make a
difference to people across the Vale.
The Leader also referred to the installation of automatic water meter readers which
gave advanced warning of water leaks on the estate which saved water and money.
Paragraph 2.12 of the report noted the progress made within the Band B Programme
for six of the schools in the Vale with more to come in Cowbridge, St Nicholas, Ysgol
y Deri 2, Iolo Morgannwg and St Richard Gwyn from September onwards.
This was a matter for Executive decision.
Cabinet, having considered the report and all the issues and implications contained
therein
RESOLVED –
(1) T H A T the year end capital position for financial year 2022/23 be noted.
(2) T H A T the additional scheme budgets as set out in Appendix 1 be approved.

C46 CORPORATE RESOURCES DIRECTORATE - CAPACITY & WAYS
OF WORKING (EL/PR) (SCRUTINY – CORPORATE PERFORMANCE AND
RESOURCES) –
The Leader presented the report, the purpose of which was to provide an update on
proposals to make changes within the Corporate Resources directorate following the
restructure of the Strategic Leadership Team in 2022 and reflecting the future ways
of working to support the Council.
Minutes - MS
Paragraph 2.5 of the report highlighted that the Authority had been operating without
a Head of Policy and Business Transformation or Operational Manager for
Performance and Policy which had put pressure on other staff and was not a
sustainable situation. Paragraph 2.8 of the report proposed reorganising the
directorate around four key service areas of HR & Organisational Development,
Legal & Democratic Services, Finance & Digital and had no financial implications to
the Authority.
Councillor Sivagnanam stressed the importance of the Vale’s participation and
engagement and equality strategies and that there was no cost implication for the
Authority.
This was a matter for Executive decision.

therein

C47 DRAFT DIGITAL STRATEGY (EL/PR) (SCRUTINY – CORPORATE
PERFORMANCE AND RESOURCES) –
The Leader presented the report, the purpose of which was to provide Cabinet with
an overview of work undertaken to develop a new draft Digital Strategy and seek
approval to consult on the same before adoption.
Digital innovation was a step change away from where it was prior to the pandemic
where many service users became much more used to accessing services online.
The Strategy would address how digital technology could be used to become more
effective, more active, more accessible, more inclusive, and also more data driven.
There was a fear that some people would be left out because of such changes, but
residents would still be supported by in-person and telephone services.
Councillor Sivagnanam said it was important to recognise that both digital and in
person support services were available, and that demand for digital services had
increased, e.g., 95% of residents in the Vale of Glamorgan digitally completed the
census survey. Data gathered could be used to provide better services to residents.
Minutes - MS
This was a matter for Executive decision.
Cabinet, having considered the report and all the issues and implications contained
therein

endorsed as the basis for wider consultation.

Cabinet with an update on the Strong Communities Grant Fund 2023 -24 and to

Councillor Brooks emphasised the help and support available to a variety of applying
organisations and gave examples of some of the different types of applications that
had been made to the Fund.
The Leader added that bringing funding together in this way had enabled different
organisations from across the Vale of Glamorgan to apply for support for a variety of
different reasons and had proven to be amazingly successful. The Creative
Communities team had developed a high level of expertise in helping organisations
out together effective applications but also assisting with monitoring expenditure.
Minutes - MS

Cabinet, having considered the report and all the issues and implications contained
therein

C49 WELSH LANGUAGE STANDARDS ANNUAL MONITORING
REPORT 2022-23 (EAWL) (SCRUTINY – LEARNING AND CULTURE AND
CORPORATE PERFORMANCE AND RESOURCES) –

Promotion Strategy.
Councillor Birch listed matters already in place bilingually including the website that

staff pages enabled staff to view their information on internal news, policies, payslips
etc., the Chief Executive posted a weekly message to staff bilingually,
Communications teams produce material bilingually and the Contact Centre and
Reception at the Civic Offices were able to conduct business in either medium of

Welsh language courses for all levels offered during work time and at no cost to
staff, with classes held remotely including members of the community. Welsh
awareness training had also been made available for elected Members as part of
equalities training.
The Leader noted that the Report Owner listed on the report was incorrect, stated as
the Executive Leader and Cabinet Member for Performance and Resources when it
should have been the Cabinet Member for Education, Arts and the Welsh Language.
This was a matter for Executive decision.
Cabinet, having considered the report and all the issues and implications contained
therein
Minutes - MS
RESOLVED –
(1) T H A T the Annual Welsh Monitoring Report for 2022-23 (Appendix 1) and

management arrangements in place for addressing condensation and damp issues
in residential properties, but the Policy consolidated the detail into a working

may be concerned or interested in damp and condensation issues within their
properties. He emphasised that Officers in the Housing Department or
Neighbourhood Services Department could help people if there were issues with

C51 PROPOSED TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER FOR EXCEPTIONS
TO WALES 20MPH DEFAULT SPEED LIMIT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF
ANCILLARY SPEED LIMITS (NBS) (SCRUTINY – ENVIRONMENT AND
REGENERATION) –
The Cabinet Member presented the report, the purpose of which was to update
Cabinet on the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) process associated with proposed
exceptions to Wales 20mph Default Speed Limit and proposed ancillary speed limits.
Councillor Wilson said that a similar exercise had taken place in Spain where a
substantial decrease in the number of deaths and serious accidents had occurred
because of the lowering of the speed limit. It was also hoped that the speed
reduction would help to promote sustainable mobility and encourage active travel
options and therefore in the future potentially assist to reduce the number of journeys
by private car.
Councillor John encouraged people to take part in the consultation to express their
views.
The Leader said the consultation was an example of data driving actions and echoed
Councillor John’s encouragement of people taking part in the consultation to express
their views. She said that speed reductions would make it safer for pedestrians and
cyclists, near schools and would not add a lot of time to average journeys around the
Vale of Glamorgan.
This was a matter for Executive decision.
Cabinet, having considered the report and all the issues and implications contained
therein
RESOLVED –
(1) T H A T the public consultation for the proposed Traffic Regulation Order
