Does Rhossili need its own Community Council?

Proposed Merger of Community Councils

The Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales proposes to merge the Rhossili, Port Eynon, Reynoldston and Penrice Community Councils into a single Gower South Community Council comprising 4 Wards. The new Rhossili Ward would have 1 councillor on the new Gower South Community Council, which will comprise 8 councillors in total.
We need to know what you think about this proposed change.
Please answer these 4 quick questions and share any comments you may have.
1.1. The Commission says that the “change … should ensure that communities continue to reflect local identities.”

With one Rhossili representative, how likely do you think it is that that the new South Gower Community Council will reflect the local identity of Rhossili?
2.How much do you think the proposed merger will affect you being able to ‘have your say’ on local issues?
3.The Commission says, “this proposal provides for more effective and convenient local government as the new community area provides for a more sustainable community.”

To what extent do you agree with this statement?
4.Overall, are you in favour of the proposal to merge the 4 community areas?
