Boundary Commission review of community and electoral arrangements underway
--
A Community Review of electoral arrangements in the Pembrokeshire Principal Council area is being undertaken by the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales.
Pembrokeshire County Council agreed the Council Size Policy on the 12th October.
The Council Size Policy creates a rationale for setting the number of communities - and the number of town and community councils and councillors - based on the electorate for that community.
It should aim to ensure that representation on town and community councils is, as far as is practicable, the same across all community councils in Pembrokeshire.
The first stage of the review is to ask all interested parties to consider the current community boundaries and submit their views on any changes required to create communities that provide for effective and convenient local government.
All submissions will then be considered, and the Commission will publish a Draft Proposals Report and will hold a consultation on those proposals.
All submissions will then be considered, and final recommendations will be submitted to Welsh Government Ministers.
Welsh Government Ministers will then if it thinks fit, to give effect to these recommendations either as submitted, or with modifications.
The initial consultation period opened on Monday, 23rd October and will run until Sunday, 17th December.
The Survey is hosted on the Boundary Commission’s website (opens in new tab) and can also be accessed via the Council Have Your Say portal.
