To understand our places better, and to plan services that truly fit local needs, we look at the county in a series of layers, starting from our smallest neighbourhoods and building upwards.
Place-based planning divides the county into manageable areas for service planning and for working with communities and partners.
It's a way for us to strategically:
Review where we provide services from
Ensure equality of provision across the county
Plan our services in a clear and consistent way and reduce costs.
It also helps us work with our partners to expand this new approach across the wider public service and with third sector partners (to reduce duplication of effort and reduce costs).
How would it work and what is being explored?
We use a 'locality model' in Powys, dividing it into 13 locality areas. These 13 localities fit into five larger core areas based on our five main towns (Welshpool, Newtown, Llandrindod, Brecon, and Ystradgynlais). This way, we can plan services more efficiently together.
