As a Community Interest Company (CIC), radio.wales is built to amplify—not replace—the independent voices of Wales. We provide the national platform and infrastructure needed to turn hyperlocal broadcasting into a powerful, unified network. Our mission is to support smaller groups, filling the gaps in coverage to ensure every community has a voice. We would like to partner with other local radio broadcasters in Wales, our mission is to amplify, not compete or replace. The beauty of network.wales or radio.wales is that it is governed by a CIC. In light of this, radio.wales is only able to partner with other CIC status broadcasters, or informal groups of people - non profit

Update 07/2025 Due to increasing server costs and demand on resources, radio.wales has temporarily shelved the function / software. Hopefully this will return in the future when servers are upgraded.

An unexpected bonus on the recent trip to Pembrokeshire was seeing the John Constable painting ‘Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows’. It was on display in the visitor centre at St Davids. In 2013 the painting was secured for the nation through a partnership of organisations including the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Art Fund, the Wolfson Foundation, The Manton Foundation and the Tate.

The painting shows a turbulent sky and a rainbow above the cathedral, with horses and a cart crossing the River Avon

Via Wikipedia “Possible political meanings have been attributed to it, one of which being the clash of industrialization and nature represented through the clash of elements.

Some symbolism in this painting includes:

Grave marker: symbol of death
Ash tree: symbol of life
Church: symbol of faith and resurrection
Rainbow: symbol of renewed optimism”

During the 1990s a battle raged over the location of the controversial Salisbury bypass which would have impacted on the water meadows. In 1997 the Labour government abandoned the scheme but as with all proposed road schemes it might again reappear as the congestion in Salisbury still remains.
