There are no plans for reviewing the number or sizes of community councils. The Local Government (Democracy) (Wales) Act 2013 places primary responsibility for this with principal councils. We are supporting town councils to exercise their current powers in delivering for their local communities in response to COVID-19, including, through access to Welsh Government funding schemes and our Transforming Towns work.
