In January 2009, the Local Government Minister, Dr Brian Gibbons asked this Commission to review the electoral arrangements in each principal local authority in Wales. Dr Gibbons said: “Conducting regular reviews of the electoral arrangements in each Council in Wales is part of the Commission’s remit. The aim is to try and restore a fairly even spread of councillors across the local population. It is not about local government reorganisation. Since the last reviews were conducted new communities have been created in some areas and there have been shifts in population in others. This means that in some areas there is now an imbalance in the number of electors that councillors represent.

Dragonsavers Credit Union is based in Rhondda Cynon Taff and has 3 branches (Treorchy, Tonyrefail and Pontyclun) over the years we have seen a significant decline in banking services within our communities. In the case of Tonyrefail, all of the banks (Lloyds and Barclays) and the post office have closed. The Credit Union is the only high street financial services provider in the town. In addition the nearest town, Porth has also seen all bank branches close and the post office move in to a local convenience shop. The credit union does not see itself as an alternative to other high street financial services, but as complementary in being able to offer individuals choice and freedom to access savings and loans. The credit union does not itself offer current account products, but works with a partner, Contis to provide these should they be required by members. These are not free products and Contis charge a monthly management fee to the accounts. In addition to accounts for individuals, Dragonsavers also offers Community Accounts, groups and businesses. These have been particularly popular with local business who require to deposit cash and with small community groups in receipt of grant funding who require an account for this purpose.
