It was established under the Local Democracy (Wales) Act 2013 with the main purpose of publishing a programme of work which keeps under review the electoral arrangements for the 22 principal councils. The Commission makes electoral review recommendations , which it feels are in the interest of effective and convenient local government. This review has been conducted as a result of the former Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government’s Written Statement of 23 June 2016 as part of an all Wales review programme for the 2022 local government elections. © Crown copyright and database rights [2019] OS [100047875] Summary of our Recommendations: The Commission recommends retaining a council of 6 0 members . The Commission recommends a change to the arrangement of electoral wards that will achieve a marked improvement in the level of electoral parity across the County of Pembrokeshire. The Commission recommends 59 electoral wards, a reduction from 60 existing wards. The largest under-representation is recommended to be 24% above the proposed county average in Milford : East. The largest over-representation is recommended to be 24% below the proposed county average in St Florence and St Mary Out Liberty. The Commission recommends one two-member ward in the County. The Commission recommends no change to 29 electoral wards. The Commission recommends three electoral wards within the county which combine a part of a warded community, along with its neighbouring community. These community splits are present within the Communities of Narberth, Neyland and Saundersfoot. The Commission recommends making a number of boundary changes in the Community of Saundersfoot and the Towns of Milford Haven, Pembroke and Pembroke Dock. The Commission has recommended a number of consequential changes to Saundersfoot Community Council, Milford Haven Town Council, Pembroke Town Council and Pembroke Dock Town Council as a result of these boundary changes.
