Completed petition Amend the name of new electoral ward for Saltney, Flintshire to "Saltney and Saltney Ferry."

The Minister for Local Government and Finance has decided that the name for for the new single ward of Saltney Town in Flintshire shall be "Saltney Ferry".
We believe that this is a decision based on an error in the Local Boundary Commission for Wales report and can result in confusion among local residents at elections.
The town of Saltney has a population of approx 5,500 of which only about 800 live in the small community known as Saltney Ferry which forms a small part of the town.

More details

Pages 65 and 66 of the Boundary Commission's report is that part that specifically refers to the background consultations and recommendations that followed of the LDBC that that led to the Minister's decision to call the new ward Saltney Ferry.
The huge majority of residents in Saltney believe this to be a ridiculous decision based on an error made when the report was written up and must be changed urgently.
