Members of Bridgend County Borough Council have heard an outline of plans to review the structure of the county’s 20 town and community councils, with potential changes that would come in to effect for the 2027 local elections.
The report heard by councillors was set up to outline the process for a full Community Governance Review in Bridgend, which could discuss changes in the number of community councillors, as well as the mergers of certain council areas.
The process will take a minimum of 12 months to complete and is expected to begin on June 1, 2023. The last full Community Governance Review was carried out in 2009 and would normally follow a 10-year cycle.
