EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, made in accordance with section 58(2) of the Local Government Act 1972, gives effect, with modification, to proposals of the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales (“the Commission”). The Commission reported in February 2016 on its review of community arrangements for the City and County of Cardiff. The report recommended changes to a number of existing community boundaries.

This Order makes changes to a number of community areas and some consequential changes to electoral divisions. Changes are made to the boundaries between the communities of Cyncoed and Pentwyn, Llanishen and Cyncoed, Llanrumney and Rumney, and Trowbridge and Rumney.

This Order also creates the following new communities: Thornhill within the existing community of Llanishen, Llanedeyrn within the existing communities of Pentwyn and Cyncoed, Pontcanna within the existing community of Riverside, and Tremorfa within the existing community of Splott.

Consequential changes are made to the electoral divisions within the communities of Cyncoed, Pentwyn, Llanishen, Llanrumney, Rumney and Trowbridge.

Prints of the boundary maps A to I to which this Order relates are deposited and may be inspected during normal office hours at the offices of Cardiff City and County Council, and at the offices of the Welsh Government at Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ (Local Government Democracy Division).
