Section 122 – Reports about discharge of a principal council’s function of keeping community areas under review
136.Introduces new subsections (2A)-(2D) in section 55 of the 1972 Act to require a principal council to publish every 15 years (and send to the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales – the “Welsh Commission”) a report of how it has discharged its existing function of keeping community areas under review. The existing legislation has no such timeframe for publishing reports and some councils have not published reports.
