This Order is made in accordance with section 58(2) of the Local Government Act 1972. It gives effect to proposals of the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales (“the Commission”), which reported in February 2008 on its review of community boundaries in part of the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf. The Commission’s report recommended changes to the boundaries of Llanharan, Llanharry, Llantrisant and Pont-y-clun communities and consequential changes to electoral arrangements. This Order gives effect to the Commission’s recommendations without modification.

Prints of the maps showing the boundaries are deposited and may be inspected during normal office hours at the offices of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, Tonypandy, and at the offices of the Welsh Assembly Government at Cathays Park, Cardiff (Local Government Policy Division).

The Local Government Area Changes Regulations 1976 referred to in article 2 of this Order contain incidental, consequential, transitional and supplementary provisions about the effect and implementation of orders such as this.
