Draft Summary Placemaking Plan
Talgarth Consultation Questionnaire

Introduction and background

About the Placemaking Plan

Earlier this year, Powys County Council appointed Owen Davies Consulting to work with local stakeholders to produce a Placemaking Plan for your town centre as part of Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns programme.

The Placemaking Plan, which will include a prioritised Action Plan, will guide investment and help secure funding in the town for the next 5+ years.

About this questionnaire

  1. Tell us what you think about your town centre and what you think needs to be improved, to inform a shared vision.
  2. Provide feedback (in as much detail as you would like) on the ideas for the town centre so they can be developed further.

If you haven’t already read the draft Action Plan, you can find it here.

What happens next?

The feedback you provide through this questionnaire will be considered alongside feedback gathered from the interactive map and a public drop-in event to inform the creation of the final Placemaking Plan.

The vision for your town centre

The final Placemaking Plan will include a vision for the future of your town centre.

To inform this, tell us what you think are the strengths and weaknesses of your town centre and the ways in which it could be improved, according to the following themes.

Location: the location of the town centre in relation to housing, employment, leisure and other facilities.

Movement: the extent to which walking, cycling and public transport are convenient, and if you have a choice of transport to avoid being dependent on private cars.

Public realm: the extent to which streets and public spaces in the town centre are well-designed, welcoming, safe and inclusive, and have a distinct identity.

Mix of uses: the extent to which your town centre provides opportunities for local business, community activity, access to services, local employment.

People and community: the extent to which you can be involved in shaping the town centre and the needs, aspirations, health and well-being of the local community are met.

Identity: the extent to which the positive, distinctive qualities of your town centre are identified.
