On 16 June I wrote to members to set out the current position in respect of the current programme of Electoral Arrangements Reviews. I also set out the process by which I intend to communicate my decisions about each area.


This included my commitment to provide regular updates to members through written statements.  This is the first of these statements.


On 23 June I wrote to the Leader and Chief Executive of the City and County of Swansea to confirm the decision made by the First Minister to accept the recommendations of the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales with modifications in respect of City and County of Swansea, and to progress work to seek to implement such recommendations by order.


The Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales Final Recommendations Report for the City and County of Swansea can be found here. The modifications made to these recommendations are set out in the annex to this statement.
