Community Review 2013 Review of the Community Boundary And Community Review 2013 Review of the Community Boundary And Electoral Arrangements Within The City And County of Cardiff DRAFT PROPOSALS –APPENDIX G SUMMARY OF SUBMISISONS From Community Councillor Peter Bradbury Caerau Cardiff Council Councillor for Caerau Submission Summary: No Change: Can I state that I believe that in my ward no changes are necessary, indeed I believe an extra councillor could be needed soon with an electorate of over 7500. From Community Councillor Elaine Simmons Caerau Cardiff Council Councillor for Caerau Submission Summary: No change: Supports the view of the previous submission. From Community As Individual Roath Submission Summary: No change. From Community As Individual Rhiwbina Submission Summary: No change: My 3 councillors are already dealing with queries, problems representing 6,800 plus constituents, enlarging or extending existing boundaries would mean a less efficient service - watered down responses, etc. We also have geographical boundaries ie Eastern Ave. -East. Wenallt Mountain North. Page | 95 Community Review 2013 Review of the Community Boundary And Electoral Arrangements Within The City And County of Cardiff DRAFT PROPOSALS –APPENDIX G From Community Councillor Ed Bridges Gabalfa Cardiff Council Councillor for Gabalfa Cathays Submission Summary: Recommendation 1 - Creation of a new community of Talybont based on Talybont North halls and Talybont South halls in Gabalfa ward and Talybont Court falls within Cathays ward. This change would, …, logically join up one holistic community into the same polling district, ward and constituency and prevent a great deal of confusion. Recommendation 2 - renaming the Gabalfa community as Maindy Currently, very few people who live in Gabalfa ward say that they live in Gabalfa - most erroneously believe they are residents of Cathays, Mynachdy, Heath or Maindy, as these are the historical postal addresses for the constituent parts of the ward. Gabalfa in contrast, is thought to refer to nearby Gabalfa Estate (in Llandaff North ward). This obviously causes problems, with residents in Gabalfa assuming they live in adjacent wards, … The nearby Maindy Leisure Centre is a well-known local landmark, and it is arguably a more accurate label for our area than Gabalfa. Aside from these suggestions, I see no need to alter the current community boundaries relating to Gabalfa ward. From Community Councillor Gareth Holden Gabalfa Cardiff Council Councillor for Gabalfa Cathays Submission Summary: Supports the view of the previous submission.

From Community As Individual Gabalfa Cathays Submission Summary: Supports the view of the previous submission. From Community As Individual Gabalfa Submission Summary: Supports the view of the previous submission. From Community Councillor Gareth Aubrey Gabalfa Cardiff Council Councillor for Llandaff North Cathays Submission Summary: Supports the view of the previous submission. Page | 97 Community Review 2013 Review of the Community Boundary And Electoral Arrangements Within The City And County of Cardiff DRAFT PROPOSALS –APPENDIX G From Community Liberal Democrat Group and Cardiff Liberal Democrats Gabalfa Cathays Submission Summary: Supports the view of the previous submission. From Community As Individual Gabalfa Cathays Submission Summary: Supports the view of the previous submission regarding the creation of a new community of Talybont. As to the name of the Gabalfa ward I am less convinced about whether calling it Maindy would actually be any more applicable than Gabalfa although given the location of the barracks and the leisure centre the name Maindy does have a resonance in that part of the ward. My best suggestion would be a combination i.e. Maindy and Gabalfa From Community Councillor (Community) Sue McKerlich Radyr and Morganstown – All wards Submission Summary: No change: Because of the geographical features - river, railway, hills and arterial roads it would be difficult to split and is too big to add to another area. From Community As Individual Pontprennau Old St Mellons Submission Summary: No change. Page | 98 Community Review 2013 Review of the Community Boundary And Electoral Arrangements Within The City And County of Cardiff DRAFT PROPOSALS –APPENDIX G From Community Councillor (Community) Brian Griffiths Tongwynlais Submission Summary: No change: …, the council is adequate for the community. Members represent all the areas of the village. The council is run on a non-political basis …. During the 34 years we have increased the membership from 5 to 9, this works extremely well, the council has embarked on a number of community issues … all in all the council is a very busy and constructive group that works well with the community, all the members are well known in the community, I do not believe there is any need for change. From Community As Individual Llandaff Submission Summary: No change: I feel that the boundaries / composition of the ward are representative of my local community. From Community Councillor Rod McKerlich Radyr and Morganstown – All wards Cardiff Council Councillor for Radyr & Morganstown Submission Summary: No change: R&M is a substantial community with more than 5,000 electors. It has a strong community spirit and identity; it is homogenous. For these reasons I support the status quo. From Community As Individual Cyncoed Submission Summary: No change. Page | 99 Community Review 2013 Review of the Community Boundary And Electoral Arrangements Within The City And County of Cardiff DRAFT PROPOSALS –APPENDIX G From Community Butetown Labour Party Butetown Submission Summary: No change: The Butetown ward boundaries are satisfactory & follow largely natural boundaries. However Butetown remains woefully under-represented in political terms. We see little argument for addressing this through the establishment of a Community Council as the under-representation is so grave. From Community As Individual Rumney Trowbridge Submission Summary: Change: There is a small area of about 30 houses [The Avenue/Westbourne Court area] close to the junction of New Road and Wentloog Road that are currently in the Trowbridge ward. These houses are about a mile from the nearest properties in Trowbridge and surrounded by the ward of Rumney. It is my opinion that these properties should be in Rumney ward and not Trowbridge ward. From Community As Individual Ely Submission Summary: Change: I propose that the community of Ely be split into 2 communities, Ely and the New community of Michaelston Super Ely. The boundary between the two communities being Michaelston Road. The area of Michaelston is a separate community in that it has it's own Public House, Post Office and local shops. It is therefore only right that the Council should officially treat it as such. Page | 100 Community Review 2013 Review of the Community Boundary And Electoral Arrangements Within The City And County of Cardiff DRAFT PROPOSALS –APPENDIX G From Community As Individual St Fagans Submission Summary: Change: The community of Saint Fagans is currently one large ward. It is my opinion that the two areas in the community of Saint Fagans are distinctly different from each other. While I have no problem with both these areas remaining within the community of Saint Fagans, I do believe the community council should have two community wards - Saint Fagans North and Saint Fagans South. The boundary between the two being the river. From Community Cllr Adrian Robson Rhiwbina Cllr Jayne Cowan Cllr Eleanor Sanders Cardiff Council Councillors for Rhiwbina Submission Summary: Change: I believe that the existing boundaries of Rhiwbina serve the community and electoral division well. However, I would like to request a change of the community name in order to reflect that Pantmawr (part of Rhiwbina community) does have a clear identity which is important and distinct to the rest of Rhiwbina. Whilst I do not believe that Pantmawr is large enough to become a separate community by itself, I believe it should be reflected in the existing community name. Therefore I would propose changing the name of the "Rhiwbina" community to one of two alternatives: either "Rhiwbina and Pantmawr" or "Rhiwbina with Pantmawr". I would hope that the official electoral division name would then change subsequently. From Community As Individual Rhiwbina Submission Summary: Supports the view of the previous submission. Page | 101 Community Review 2013 Review of the Community Boundary And Electoral Arrangements Within The City And County of Cardiff DRAFT PROPOSALS –APPENDIX G From Community As Individual Radyr and Morganstown – All wards Submission Summary: No change: … I do not see the need for changes to the community boundaries which are distinct between the River Taff, A4119; and the quarry. The villages have a long history evinced by our ancient sites in Morganstown & Radyr woods. The community has its own character and is trying hard to assimilate those who have joined it from nearly 1,000 new dwellings in the past 10 years and to encourage them to contribute. … the new powers, especially that of wellbeing which community councils may undertake in future are sufficient to ensure a vigorous representation at all levels of government. The 12 CC members we have now cover a range of interests with diverse experience

  • The Radyr and Morganstown Association
    THE RADYR AND MORGANSTOWN ASSOCIATION (A Civic Society affiliated to the Civic Trust for Wales ) President: Rhodri Morgan Vice Presidents: Antonia Wigley BBChB Dave Cargill BEM, JP, FCCA Nick Hawkins NEWSLETTER TO MEMBERS – January 2013 Welcome to our regular Newsletter. Honours. We are sure you know already, but we are delighted to repeat here that David Cargill , one of our Vice-Presidents and a former Chairman of the Association, was awarded the British Empire Medal in this year’s Queen’s New Years Honours List. The citation was ‘for services to the community in Radyr and Morganstown’ – which just about sums it up! David has, of course, personally led the running of the May Festival for over 25 years. This year (see below) is his 26 th . In 2002 the Festival changed formally to supporting a Charity and many thousands of pounds have now been raised, not counting the considerable sums that have been raised by our local organisations over those 25 years. Apart from his work with the Association, David has been closely linked with many other R&M organisations, notably the Tennis and Golf Clubs, as well as having served as a Magistrate. The award is thoroughly deserved. We were bound to mention David first but another Radyr resident – Keith Griffin – was awarded the OBE on the same occasion in recognition of his services to music in Wales. Keith may not be as well known to local residents but he is one of the leading musical administrators in the UK, having spent a 40-year career providing invaluable support, advice, practical help and planning to a host of musical organisations - from community brass bands to the visit of Pope John Paul II to Wales in 1982.
