EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order implements the recommendations of the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales (“the Commission”), which reported in November 2020 on its review of the electoral arrangements for the County of the Isle of Anglesey. The Commission’s report proposed an increase in the number of electoral wards from 11 to 14, and an increase in the number of councillors from 30 to 35.
This Order implements the Commission’s recommendations without modification.
Article 2 of this Order abolishes the existing electoral arrangements for the County of the Isle of Anglesey and introduces the Schedule, which sets out the new electoral arrangements for the County of the Isle of Anglesey.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order.
