Town and Community Councils - Electoral Arrangement review
Bridgend County Borough Council has undertaken an Electoral Arrangement review of all Town and Community Councils across Bridgend County Borough.
This is because the Local Government (Democracy) (Wales) Act 2013 places a responsibility upon councils to monitor the electoral arrangements of local communities, and to determine whether it is appropriate to make or recommend that changes need to be made to best serve their needs.
The last full review was carried out in 2009 and follows an approximate 10-year cycle.
The review has considered the following:
- The number of Town and Community Councils – including the option of mergers, alterations or creating new ones.
- Electoral arrangements – including the number of councillors, the number of wards, the number of councillors elected in each ward and ward boundaries.
- Names/titles of Town and Community Councils.
The draft recommendations report, which sets out the proposed changes to boundaries and electoral arrangements can be viewed below.
Paper copies are also available to view in local libraries and in the reception of the Civic Offices in Bridgend.
Maps of the current boundaries for Town and Community Councils are also available.
