Whereas in pursuance of section 58(1) of the Local Government Act 1972, the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales on 13th November 1986 submitted to me proposals for the future electoral arrangements for the District of Carmarthen:
And whereas in giving effect to those proposals I have decided to make certain modifications:
