  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order, made in accordance with section 58(2) of the Local Government Act 1972, gives effect, with modification, to proposals of the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales (“the Commission”). The Commission reported in October 2015 on a review conducted by Flintshire County Council of the community boundaries for the County of Flintshire. The report recommended changes to a number of existing boundaries.\nThe effect of this Order is that there are changes to a number of community areas and some consequential changes in community electoral arrangements. Changes are made to the boundaries of Broughton and Bretton, Halkyn, Higher Kinnerton, Hope, Leeswood, Mold and Pen-y-Ffordd. Consequential electoral changes are made to the electoral divisions within the communities of Broughton and Bretton and Halkyn.\nPrints of the boundary maps A to G to which this Order relates are deposited and may be inspected during normal office hours at the offices of Flintshire County Council, and at the offices of the Welsh Government at Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ (Local Government Democracy Division).",
