    Parliamentary Voting and Constituencies Bill October 2010 This paper provides a background briefing on the Parliamentary Voting and Constituencies Bill, which was presented to the UK Parliament by the Rt. Hon Nick Clegg MP, the Deputy Prime Minister, on 22 July 2010. The Bill includes two key provisions which both directly apply to Wales. It aims to provide for a referendum on a choice between First Past the Post (FPTP) and the Alternative Vote (AV) as the system for electing the House of Commons, and change the electoral system for the Commons to the Alternative Vote if the result of the referendum supports this. The Bill also aims to provide for a reduction in the number of seats in the House of Commons from 650 to 600 and to introduce more equally sized constituencies.

  • County Borough of Caerphilly
    November 2020 Summary Full report and maps: https://ldbc.gov.wales/ @LDBCW This document is available in Welsh County Borough of Caerphilly Summary of Final Recommendations Who we are : The Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales is an independent Welsh Government Sponsored Body.

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 [2020] OS [100047875] Summary of our Recommendations: The Commission recommends a council of 69 members, a reduction from the present 73 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 Borough of Caerphilly.

The largest under-representation is recommended to be 24% above the proposed county average in Aberbargoed and Bargoed.

  • The Benefice of Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg
    Benefice Profile for Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg The Church in Wales Yr Eglwys yng Nghymru The Diocese of Monmouth The Benefice of Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg Benefice Profile December 2019 1 Benefice Profile for Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg From the Archdeacon of the Gwent Valleys The Venerable Sue Pinnington Thank you for taking the time to look at this profile for the post of Team Rector (Ministry Area Leader designate) of Tredegar, Rhymney and Abertysswg. This new benefice (Ministry Area) offers an exciting opportunity to develop collaborative ministry and mission. The parishes are growing closer together, realising the benefits of sharing resources, skills and the desire to grow spiritually and numerically. They would like to extend their existing mission and should the Diocesan Bid to the Church in Wales Evangelism Fund be successful, more financial support for mission will be heading to the Valleys. The Benefice has an excellent NSM Associate Minister in Elizabeth Jones and lay ministers, who are very much looking forward to working in the newly created team. The Diocese had committed to funding a 0.5 fte post of Team Vicar to serve the whole benefice, but to live in the parsonage at Rhymney. We expect the new Team Rector (TR) to take a full part in this appointment and we hope to advertise swiftly following the TR’s licensing. However, this post is not without its challenges. These are the same challenges faced by the whole of the Archdeaconry, which covers the eastern post-industrial valleys of South Wales. All our communities face issues relating to poverty and deprivation, but we work hard together to address and tackle these issues.
