CITY AND COUNTY OF CARDIFF COUNCIL COMMUNITY REVIEW FINAL PROPOSALS The City and County of Cardiff Council has conducted a review of its communities in accordance with S55 and S57 Local Government Act 1972. In March 2013 the Council announced its intention to review the community boundaries within Cardiff and invited the views of interested parties. It was the Council’s aim during the course of the review to determine what changes (if any) to the boundaries, or electoral arrangements of the communities may be desirable in the interests of effective and convenient local government, and to make recommendations as appropriate to the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales (“The Commission”) and Welsh Government. This review will be followed by a separate review of the Council’s electoral divisions, to be conducted by The Commission which will make recommendations to Welsh Government. In reviewing the electoral divisions, the Commission will take note of any changes to the communities that arise from this review. Representations to the initial review and the Council draft proposals have been received and after careful consideration, the following proposals to change the communities were agreed at Full Council on 26 March 2015: 1 Change of community name from “Gabalfa” to “Gabalfa and Mynachdy”. 2 Pentwyn/Cyncoed Boundary Change.
