Section 54 – Publication of up-to-date lists of communities and community councils

132.Section 54 amends the 2013 Act by the insertion of section 49ZB. This requires each county or county borough council to publish and maintain on its website an up-to-date list of all the communities and community councils in its area with their current names. It also requires the Commission to do the same for all of the communities and community councils in Wales. In respect of communities and community councils that have names for the purpose of communication through Welsh and English, the list should show both the Welsh and English language names regardless of whether the list is accessed via the Welsh or English language.
