South Wales Central is an electoral region of the National Assembly for Wales, consisting of six constituencies. The electoral region was first used in 1999, when the Assembly for Wales was created.
Each constituency elects one Assembly Member by the first past the post electoral system, and the region as a whole elects four additional or top-up Assembly Members, to create a degree of proportional representation. The additional member seats are allocated from closed lists by the d'Hondt method, with constituency results being taken into account in the allocation.
The region covers most of the preserved county of Dyfed and most of the preserved county of Powys. The rest of Dyfed is within the South Wales Central electoral region, and the rest of Powys is within the North Wales electoral region.

[edit] Re Edinburgh South (UK Parliament constituency)
[edit] Re Politics of Edinburgh
- Edinburgh Central constituency was abolished and split between the original Edinburgh North and Leith and Edinburgh West constituencies and an entirely new constituency that was created - Edinburgh South West.
- Edinburgh East and Musselburgh took in parts of the Edinburgh North and Leith seat, with the town of Musselburgh being transferred into the East Lothian constituency, with the new seat renamed Edinburgh East.
- Edinburgh Pentlands constituency was also divided between the new Edinburgh South West seat and the existing Edinburgh South seat.
- Edinburgh North and Leith was increased in size by taking in parts of the old Edinburgh Central constituency.
- Edinburgh South was expanded in size taking in elements of the old Edinburgh Pentlands seat.
- Edinburgh South West was an entirely new constituency created for the 2005 UK general election taking in elements of the old Edinburgh Central seat, the original Edinburgh West seat and Edinburgh Pentlands seat.
- Edinburgh West was expanded to include some parts of the defunct Edinburgh Central seat.
[edit] Re City status in the United Kingdom
How does this look?:
- City status in the United Kingdom is usually associated with recognition, in the form of letters patent, from the monarch. Also, at present, such cities are usually local government areas, as defined under legislation which has been created during and since the late 19th century.
[edit] Re Buchan
-
For other uses, see Laurel Bush/Workshop IV (disambiguation).
Buchan is one six committee areas of Aberdeenshire Council, Scotland. The committee areas were created by the council in 1996, when the Aberdeenshire unitary council area was created under the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994. The council area was formed by merging three districts of the Grampian region, Banff and Buchan, Gordon and Kincardine and Deeside.
There is also a town of Buchan and an Earldom of Buchan.
The modern administrative area has a population of 39,160 (2001 census) and an area of 547 km2. It contains the towns of Peterhead & Fraserburgh and is adjacent to the administrative areas of Banff and Buchan and Formartine. RAF Buchan, a radar station, is in the area.
Peterhead is the largest town in Buchan and Aberdeenshire; the principal white fish landing port in Europe; and a major oil industry service centre. Equally important is the nearby gas terminal at St Fergus.
Attempts are being made to counter the negative effects of several recent key company closures and economic threats. Inland, the area is dependent upon agriculture, and many villages have seen a decline in population and services. Issues affecting Banff and Buchan also apply here, as does the future of the oil and gas industry. Part of Buchan benefits from EU aid coverage. Opportunities exist through the Buchan Local Action Plan to safeguard and enhance the economic future of Peterhead and Buchan.
The Formartine and Buchan Way runs through Buchan.
