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.

I have included only one notable person: the Member of Parliament, Mr George Hall. I will include other notable people in the next issue. Winter 1947 For the last 40 years we have had relatively little snow, but 70 years ago in 1947 Britain experienced the worst winter for hundreds of years. What was it like living in this valley then? Here are some articles from the Aberdare Leader that tell us of the terrible conditions and of the hardy people who overcame them: Miners trudged two miles to work when bus stuck Paint frozen in tins Broken, frozen milk bottles at Trecynon Creamery Frozen Aberdare Park Lake but no skating! Western Welsh buses taking miners to the “Pandy” Colliery, (Rhigos Drift), had to stop two miles away from the colliery owing to the heavy snowfall. The miners trudged the remaining two miles through the snow to the colliery and traversed the same distance back to the bus at the end of the shift. Wednesday week was the coldest day of the present wintry spell at Aberdare when 17 degrees of frost were recorded at the park.
