Berwyn, Colwyn, Dyffryn Clwyd, Rhuddlan and Wrexham Maelor are re-organised into the new petty sessions areas of Colwyn, Denbighshire and Wrexham Maelor. The re-organisation is effected by the Petty Sessional Divisions (North Wales) Order 1998 (S.I. 1998/2339), the relevant provisions of which come into force on 1st January 1999.
