Veronica German AM for South Wales East and Shadow Minister for Health, Wellbeing and Local Government has today called for the reopening of the Boundary Commission review for Newport City Council.

According to local councillors the boundary commission review for Newport City Council was written without due consideration or acknowledgement of representations made by the local Liberal Democrat Council group.

Veronica German said: “I find it deeply disturbing that this review has been allowed to be published without having considered the official submission of one of the groups on Newport council.

“It is critical that such boundary reviews are seen to be impartial and that the views of all individuals and groups are considered.

“I have therefore written to the minister urging him to re-open the review into the boundary commission for Newport City Council so that all views can be considered.”
