  • 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.

  • News Briefing Œ August 2010
    North Pembrokeshire Transport Forum Fforwm Trafnidiaeth Gogledd Penfro News Briefing – September 2010 Buses TrawsCambria Network Consultation. The TrawsCambria bus network provides an essential public transport link between key centres. The network is designed to connect into the rail network at key stations such as Carmarthen, Aberystwyth, Wrexham and Bangor. This consultation, which closes on 12th December, is seeking views about TrawsCambria’s plans to improve the network. Potential improvements include: · Reduced journey times between key centres by public transport · Better connections between TrawsCambria services and the rail network in Wales · Potential new services to provide a wider range of choice when travelling between key centres across Wales · The introduction of new more comfortable coach style vehicles which are better suited to longer distance services · Improved “on board” facilities for passengers · Improved ticketing and fare options Further information about the consultation, including the consultation questionnaire, can be found on: http://wales.gov.uk/consultations/transport/trawscambria/?lang=en. Bouquet for Pembrokeshire Bus Drivers: A regular bus passenger has reported to the Forum’s Executive Committee: “Travelling on an extremely wet Wednesday I was impressed with how helpful the bus drivers were, taking passenger as close to their destinations as possible. It’s what rural bus services are all about, with real people drivers. First, Silcox and Richard Brothers are to be commended”. Community Transport Preseli Green Dragon. Organisers report that their summer services have been well received this year. The new Gwaun Valley service, from Fishguard to Bwlchgwynt, is very popular. They have resumed running the Sunday evening service to Theatre Mwldan in Cardigan.

  • Ceredigion Welsh District Council Elections Results 1973-1991
    Ceredigion Welsh District Council Elections Results 1973-1991 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
