This Order gives effect to the proposals made in the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales' report of December 1999 for the County Borough of Newport.
Although the Order abolishes all existing electoral divisions within the County Borough and replaces them with new electoral divisions, in practice the majority of them will remain the same.
The existing arrangements remain for the electoral divisions of Allt-yr-yn, Alway, Beechwood, Bettws, Caerleon, Gaer, Graig, Llanwern, Malpas, Pillgwenlly, Ringland, Rogerstone, Shaftesbury, St. Julians, Stow Hill, Tredegar Park, Victoria.
