Rest assured that it won't mean savings for the man in the street.
Any savings will be raked back into Treasury coffers at year's end. |  | |  |

What could be worse is Carwyn Jones is talking about NPT merge into Bridgend which is madness.
I am under NPT but my phone my address and everything is Swansea.
My inlaws are also under NPT but the opposite side of the road is Swansea council bin days are interesting. |  | | |

This true. No savings will be passed on to the ratepayers as the Govt will continue to screw Wales with its austerity measures.
I am very disappointed in Leighton Andrews and his new proposals. It does not go far enough and he is merely reverting to the 1996 boundaries with no lower tiers. 8/9 Authorities are far too many for Wales and will continue to be an unnecessary financial burden. It should have been 4/ 5 Authorities maximum.
This would not mean masses of redundancies as you are still going to need the staff to provide services. The savings come with less Diretors, Heads Of Service and councillors.
We are missing a great opportunity to create larger more powerful Authorities capable of fighting their corner. Instead we have a complacent redrawing of an old map. |  |

In the case of Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot I think this makes sense, we are slowly becoming the "Swansea Bay" area anyway.
Reading up on this, Gwent seems to be the area with the most objections? |  | | |

Are you referring to the name of the Authority? There is a strong case for calling it Swansea Bay so that the identity can be linked to our very successful football club.
The current proposal does reflect the old West Glamorgan Authority boundary but this time it does not have the ridiculous lower tier of District Councils.
Having said that I still think the proposed Authority is to small. It should cover the whole of S W Wales stretching up into Mid. | |
