  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order implements the recommendations of the Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru (“the Commission”), which reported in January 2025 on its review of the community arrangements in the County of Pembrokeshire. The Commission’s report recommended changes to the existing boundaries of communities within the area of the County of Pembrokeshire and consequential changes to electoral arrangements. This Order implements the Commission’s recommendations without modification but with no action taken on various recommendations. The Order also makes some supplemental changes in relation to community names.\nThe effect of this Order is to make changes to a number of community areas and consequential changes to electoral arrangements. This Order also abolishes a number of community wards.\nThe 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.\nThe 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.\nPrints of the maps labelled “1” to “57” to which this Order relates are deposited in the office of the Welsh Government at Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ (Elections Division), and with Pembrokeshire County Council. Prints deposited with Pembrokeshire County Council are open to inspection by anyone affected by the provisions of this Order.",
