INTRODUCTION 1.1 Torfaen County Borough Council have conducted a review of the community boundaries and community electoral arrangements under Sections 55(2) and 57 (4) of the Local Government Act 1972 as amended by the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994 (the Act). In accordance with Section 55(2) of the Act Torfaen County Borough Council have submitted a report to the Commission of their considerations for changes to a number of community boundaries in their area. A summary of Torfaen County Borough Council’s proposed changes is at Appendix 1. 1.2 We have considered Torfaen County Borough Council’s report in accordance with Section 55(3) of the Act and submit the following report on the Council’s recommendations. 2. TORFAEN COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL’S PROPOSALS 2.1 Torfaen County Borough Council’s proposals were submitted to the Commission on 20 August 2012. As a result of their review the Council have recommended changes to the boundaries of the following communities: Abersychan, Croesyceiliog, Cwmbran Central, Fairwater, Llanyrafon, Pen Tranch, Pontnewydd, New Inn and Upper Cwmbran. 3. THE COMMISSION’S CONSIDERATION 3.1 We first considered whether the County Borough Council had conducted their review in accordance with the procedure set out in the Act. We then considered whether the proposals recommended were apt for securing effective and convenient local government. 4. PROCEDURE 4.1 Section 60 of the Act requires the Council to take such steps as they think fit to secure that persons who may be interested in the review are informed of the proposal to conduct the review. Torfaen County Borough Council sought views on their review via the Council’s web site and public notices placed in libraries and community council notice boards throughout the County Borough. The Council also consulted with the community councils in its area and the Local Council’s Partnership Committee. 4.2 We are satisfied that Torfaen County Borough Council have conducted the review in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 60 of the Act. 5. PROPOSALS Croesyceiliog and New Inn 5.1 Torfaen County Borough Council’s recommendation is for the boundary between the Communities of Croesyceiliog and New Inn to be realigned so as to transfer the residential properties at Springfield Close and adjacent land from the Community of New Inn into the Community of Croesyceiliog. We have inspected the relevant maps and made a site visit to the area and consider that the residential properties at Springfield Close are clearly linked to similar adjacent properties in the Community of Croesyceiliog. 1 We further note that the only access to the properties at Springfield Close is through the Community of Croesyceiliog and that there are no similar adjacent residential areas in the Community of New Inn. We noted that the proposed realignment of the existing boundary shown on the Council’s map did not quite follow the line of the road to the north of Springfield Close and we therefore propose an alternative realignment of the boundary in that area which will follow the line of the road more closely. We are satisfied that the recommended change is of benefit in terms of effective and convenient local government. We therefore propose that the boundary between the Communities of Croesyceiliog and New Inn be realigned so as to transfer the residential properties at Springfield Close and adjacent land from the Community of New Inn into the Community of Croesyceiliog as illustrated on the map at Appendix 2. 5.2 Torfaen County Borough Council’s recommendation is for the boundary between the Communities of Croesyceiliog and New Inn to be realigned so as to transfer the residential properties at Pontrhydyrun House and Chestnut Cottage together with the Metro Mon Industrial Estate from the Community of New Inn into the Community of Croesyceiliog. We have inspected the relevant maps and made a site visit to the area and note that Pontrhydyrun House, Chestnut Cottage and the Metro Mon Industrial Estate are divided from the remainder of the Community of New Inn by Graig-y-felin Wood and open fields with the only access being through the Community of Croesyceiliog. We noted that the proposed realignment of the existing boundary shown on the Council’s map ran through Graig-y-felin wood and we were concerned that this would not be clearly defined on the ground and we therefore propose an alternative realignment of the boundary to the north which appeared to us to follow a more suitable line. We are satisfied that the recommended change is of benefit in terms of effective and convenient local government. We therefore propose that the boundary between the Communities of Croesyceiliog and New Inn be realigned so as to transfer Pontrhydyrun House, Chestnut Cottage and the Metro Mon Industrial Estate from the Community of New Inn into the Community of Croesyceiliog as illustrated on the map at Appendix 3. Croesyceiliog and Pontnewydd 5.3 Torfaen County Borough Council’s recommendation is for the area to the west of the existing boundary between the Communities of Croesyceiliog and Pontnewydd between the Afon Lwyd and the railway line to be transferred from the Community of Pontnewydd into the Community of Croesyceiliog. We have inspected the relevant maps and note that this proposed change appears to be part of a suggestion made by the Council that the boundary between the Communities of Croesyceiliog, Pontnewydd, Cwmbran Central and Llanyrafon be realigned to follow the length of the railway line, rather than the Afon Lwyd, from the existing boundary between the Communities of Croesyceiliog and New Inn in the north to the existing boundary between the Communities of Llantarnam and Cwmbran Central in the south. We noted, however, that Council Members rejected this proposal where it affected the boundary between the Northville Ward of the Community of Cwmbran Central and the Croesyceiliog South Ward of the Community of Croesyceiliog at Station Farm. This means that the Council’s proposed realignment would only follow the railway line for part of its length southward between Croesyceiliog and Pontnewyd before rejoining the Afon Lwyd southward between Northville and Croesyceiliog South and then rejoining the railway line southward between Llanyrafon and the Southville Ward of the Community of Cwmbran Central. We consider that this proposal would result in an inconsistent boundary switching between the railway line and the Afon Lwyd and also note that the line of the existing boundary following the Afon Lwyd is as clearly defined and recognisable on the ground as the railway line. We further note that there are no electors involved in the proposed realignment of the boundary 2 between the Communities of Croesyceiliog and Pontnewydd. We are not satisfied that the recommended change is in the interests of effective and convenient local government and therefore do not accept Torfaen County Borough Council’s proposal for the existing boundary between the Communities of Croesyceiliog and Pontnewydd to be realigned to follow the railway line rather than the Afon Lwyd. Cwmbran Central and Llanyrafon 5.4 Torfaen County Borough Council’s recommendation is for the area to the west of the existing boundary between the Communities of Cwmbran Central and Llanyrafon between the Afon Lwyd and the railway line to be transferred from the Community of Cwmbran Central into the Community of Llanyrafon. As stated in paragraph 5.3 above, we note that this proposed change appeared to be part of a suggestion made by the Council that the boundary be realigned to follow the length of the railway line which was rejected in part by Council Members resulting in what we would consider to be an inconsistent realignment of the existing boundary switching between the railway line and the Afon Lwyd. We also note that there are no electors involved in the proposed realignment of the boundary between the Communities of Cwmbran Central and Llanyrafon. We are not satisfied that the recommended change is in the interests of effective and convenient local government and therefore do not accept Torfaen County Borough Council’s proposal for the existing boundary between the Communities of Cwmbran Central and Llanyrafon to be realigned to follow the railway line rather than the Afon Lwyd. Llanyrafon 5.5 Torfaen County Borough Council’s recommendation is for the Llanyrafon North and Llanyrafon South Wards of the Community of Llanyrafon to be abolished and for the creation of two new community wards of Llanyrafon West and Llanyrafon East with the community ward boundary following the line of the A4042 north to south. We have inspected the relevant maps and made a site visit to the area and consider that the proposed boundary is clearly defined and better represents the divide within the community between the predominantly residential area in the west and the rural area to the east. We are satisfied that the recommended change is of benefit in terms of effective and convenient local government. We therefore propose that the Llanyrafon Community Wards of Llanyrafon North and Llanyrafon South be abolished and that the new Community Wards of Llanyrafon West and Llanyrafon East be created with the community ward boundary following the line of the A4042 as illustrated on the map at Appendix 4.
