 Residents survey 2018
We always get told that surveys don't matter or nothing happens
as a result of what we're told but that's not the case. Over the past year the results of the residents survey have been
used to help inform decisions we have taken and enabled us to judge
whether our services are meeting people's expectations. So please spare a few
minutes to have your say.
Last year we had a great response and the feedback we received
has been used to shape key council policies and decisions. You can see the 2017
results on our website but some of the key findings
were:
- 56% of people were satisfied
with the quality of council services
- Two thirds of people were satisfied with the council’s
recycling service
- Just one in three felt their
local area was free of litter and rubbish
- Just under half of you felt
children were taught in good quality school buildings
People also said social care services should focus on keeping
people living independently and we should improve the way social care and
health services work together. The information you provided was used throughout the year as we
planned our services for 2018/19. Some of the decisions that reflect this included:
- investing more money into a
cleaner, greener borough through the Torfaen spring clean including
cleansing roadside verges, open spaces and events to support communities
to improve their local environment
- opening new schools and
improving existing ones through our 21st Century schools programme
- fining people caught dog
fouling and dropping litter and prosecuting flytippers
Arolwg Trigolion 2018
Mae pobl yn dweud wrthym o hyd nad yw arolygon yn bwysig neu fod
dim yn digwydd o ganlyniad i’r hyn sy’n cael ei ddweud ond nid felly mae
hi. Dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf cafodd canlyniadau arolwg y trigolion
eu defnyddio i drwytho’r penderfyniadau yr ydym wedi eu cymryd ac i farnu a
yw’n gwasanaethau’n cwrdd â disgwyliadau pobl. Felly rhowch ychydig o funudau
os gwelwch yn dda i ddweud eich dweud.
Y llynedd cawsom ymateb gwych a defnyddiwyd yr adborth a gawsom
i lunio polisïau a phenderfyniadau allweddol y cyngor. Gallwch weld canlyniadau
2017 ar ein gwefan ond dyma rhai o'r canfyddiadau allweddol:
- Roedd 56% o bobl yn fodlon ag
ansawdd gwasanaethau'r cyngor
- Roedd dwy ran o dair o’r bobl
yn fodlon â’r gwasanaeth ailgylchu sydd gan y cyngor
- Un ymhob tri yn unig oedd yn
teimlo bod eu hardal leol heb sbwriel
- Roedd ychydig dan hanner
ohonoch yn teimlo bod plant yn cael eu haddysgu mewn adeiladau ysgol o
ansawdd da
Dywedodd pobl hefyd y dylai gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol
ganolbwyntio ar helpu pobl i fyw'n annibynnol a dylem wella'r ffordd y mae
gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol ac iechyd yn cydweithio.
Defnyddiwyd y wybodaeth a ddarparwyd gennych trwy gydol y
flwyddyn wrth i ni gynllunio ein gwasanaethau ar gyfer 2018/19. Mae rhai o’r penderfyniadau sy’n adlewyrchu hyn yn
cynnwys:
- buddsoddi mwy o arian i greu bwrdeistref
lanach, wyrddach trwy ymgyrch gwanwyn glân Torfaen yn cynnwys glanhau
ymylon ochr y ffordd, mannau agored a chynnal digwyddiadau i gefnogi
cymunedau i wella eu hamgylchedd lleol
- agor ysgolion newydd a gwella
rhai sy'n bodoli eisoes trwy ein rhaglen ysgolion yr 21ain Ganrif
- cyflwyno dirwyon i bobl sy'n
cael eu dal yn gadael dal baw cŵn a gollwng sbwriel ac erlyn pobl sy'n
tipio'n anghyfreithlon
Get up to mischief at Torfaen libraries this summer
Children are being challenged to read six library books or more over the summer holidays as part of the Summer Reading Challenge 2018. The Summer Reading Challenge asks 4 -11 year olds to borrow and read any six library books during the summer holidays, a time when children’s literacy skills traditionally dip.
This year’s theme is Mischief Makers, celebrating the 80th anniversary of the much-loved Beano comic. Children can sign up at any Torfaen library and will be given a collector folder full of fun and games to keep a record of their reading journey.
Contact your local library or visit www.facebook.com/TorfaenLibraries for more details.
