Wales is facing a number of challenges in the future and as a means to tackle these head on the Welsh Government created the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act. The aim of the Act is to improve the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of Wales.

The Act established statutory Public Service Boards and placed a duty on these bodies to define and deliver wellbeing objectives.

The Town Council, as one of the larger Town and Community Councils in Wales, is required by law to prepare an annual report showing how the Council is taking “reasonable steps” to meet the objectives set out in the Monmouthshire Public Services Board Well-being Plan.
