  • County Borough of Caerphilly
    November 2020 Summary Full report and maps: https://ldbc.gov.wales/ @LDBCW This document is available in Welsh County Borough of Caerphilly Summary of Final Recommendations Who we are : The Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales is an independent Welsh Government Sponsored Body. 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 69 members, a reduction from the present 73 members. 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 County Borough of Caerphilly. The Commission recommends 30 electoral wards, a reduction from 33 existing wards. The largest under-representation is recommended to be 24% above the proposed county average in Aberbargoed and Bargoed. The largest over-representation is recommended to be 20% below the proposed county average in Aber Valley. The Commission is recommending 25 multi-member wards consisting of 12 two- member electoral wards; 12 three-member electoral wards; and one four-member electoral ward.

  • Place Names in Caerphilly County Borough
    This publication is available in other languages and formats on request. Mae'r cyhoeddiad hwn ar gael mewn ieithoedd a fformatau eraill ar gais. [email protected] www.caerphilly.gov.uk/equalities Place Names in Caerphilly County Borough Many place names across the county borough, across Wales and the UK have existed for many centuries and often the reasons why the names exist have been forgotten or become muddled. Welsh place names are usually made up of a geographical description of their location, or relate to a church or some other significant building in the area. Settlement names can be roughly split into six “classes” or “types” of names in terms of their English and/or Welsh names. The first four types are relatively straightforward, the final two are a little more complicated:- Welsh name only - in cases such as Ynys-ddu, Llanbradach or Ystrad Mynach there are no English versions of the place name in existence or in common usage; English name only - the opposite is true for Oakdale, Nelson or Crosskeys for example where there are no Welsh versions of the place name in existence, or a Welsh name is no longer in common usage; Different Welsh and English names on a place, from a totally different origin e.g. Newbridge/Trecelyn; Standard Welsh and English names on a place, from the same origin, but having evolved in both languages, with both forms having established themselves, e.g. Blackwood/Coed Duon; Standard Welsh and English names on a place, which are very similar, with the main difference being in the spelling e.g.
