It was established under the Local Democracy (Wales) Act 2013 with the main purpose of publishing a programme of work which keeps under review the electoral arrangements for the 22 principal councils. 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 51 members, an increase from 50. 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 City of Newport. The Commission recommends 21 electoral wards, an increase from 20 existing wards. The largest under-representation is recommended to be 25% above the proposed county average in Tredegar Park and Marshfield. The largest over-representation is recommended to be 15% below the proposed county average in Beechwood and Bettws. The Commission recommends 18 multi-member wards ward in the County consisting of seven two-member electoral wards, ten three-member electoral wards and one four-member electoral ward. The Commission recommends no change to 11 electoral wards. The Commission recommends making boundary changes in the Communities of Graig, Rogerstone, Pillgwenlly and Stow Hill.

  • Governors' Annual Report to Parents
    Governors’ Annual Report to Parents December 2019 Welsh language version available on request Governors’ Annual Report to Parents - 2019 On behalf of the Governing Body and Acting Headteacher, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you as parents, and the whole community for your support of St Julian’s School. Over this past academic year, the staff and governors have continued to work hard to develop the quality and provision of the education provided to all learners. The Governing Body has played a fundamental role in both supporting and challenging the school to ensure progress continues at St Julian’s at the appropriate pace. We hope that you have already had the opportunity to visit our evolving website and I would ask you to pay particular attention to the Governing Body web pages which can be found in ‘About Us.’ We continue to use these to ensure that the school community can access the work of the Governing Body, and the different roles we hold. We also ensure that we have parent governors available at all parents evenings so that parents can get in touch with their representatives more easily. As the report outlines we have paused to celebrate our success but also re-focused on the ongoing challenges ahead. Your role as parents / carers continues to be vital in not only supporting your children but communicating with us and providing helpful self-evaluation information on our work. The Governors, Acting Headteacher and staff are determined to ensure that the school continues to work tirelessly to develop our provision over the coming years and provide the quality of education that all our students deserve in meeting the national aspirations of becoming ambitious capable learners who are confident and able to make a successful contribution to society in Wales.

Known as Invest Local, this programme is funded by the Big Lottery, managed by Building Communities Trustee Ltd (BCT) and is led by residents. In Pillgwenlly, it is we the residents who decide how we want our community to develop, how the money will be used, which organisations we want to work with and how decisions are made. After over three years’ hard work, we are proud to have produced our first Driving change Plan which will enable us to access the first part of the £1 million that is available to invest across Pillgwenlly. The reason we are proud of our plan is that it has been hard work because we have tried to capture as wide a range of insights as possible from those who live and work in our community.
