JOINING forces with the four other councils in Gwent could allow Newport City Council greater access to grants, a senior officer has said. At a meeting of the council s Performance Scrutiny Committee on Wednesday, July 28, councillors discussed proposals to create a Gwent-wide Public Services Board. “I hope this will be a positive change,” said the council s policy partnership and involvement manager Tracy McKim. Public Services Boards enable public bodies to work together. They were launched as part of the Wellbeing for Future Generations Act 2015.
