  • Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.

  • Dispensation Application by Cllr. Carys Jones , Item 4. PDF 192 KB
    APPLICATION TO THE STANDARDS COMMITTEE FOR DISPENSATION Please note that each section MUST be completed. Please refer to the attached Guidance Notes when completing the form. 1. YOUR DETAILS Your full name: Anne Carys Jones Name of your Council: Carmarthenshire County Council Your address and postcode: Y Garth, The Green, Llansteffan, Carmarthen SA33 5LW Contact telephone number(s): 07970 902996 / 01267 241563 Email address: [email protected] / [email protected] 2. DETAILS OF YOUR INTEREST What is the matter under consideration? PARKING ON THE GREEN, LLANSTEFFAN: The Green is the strip of land that runs alongside the beach in Llansteffan. Cars have parked on The Green for many years. The majority of The Green is owned by the County Council and a strip of the land is owned by the Community Council. The Green is registered as a village green, therefore parking on it is prohibited. An official complaint has been submitted to the Community Council by a local resident for “permitting” people to park on village green land. Both councils now face a big dilemma as they attempt to resolve the parking issues in Llansteffan. What is your interest in the above? I live in the terrace that runs alongside The Green. The Morfa recreational land lies behind the house. No one in the house parks on The Green – we have a garage as well as private parking. When will the above be considered? The official complaint was submitted in November 2019, and was discussed at the Community Council meeting held on 16 December where the Community Council voted to seek legal advice before discussing the matter further.
