It said the terms of reference for the inquiry are to examine:

  • The role and value of community and town councils in Wales;
  • Whether the sector is fit for purpose in an evolving local government landscape;
  • Governance and scrutiny arrangements and its impact on accountability and transparency;
  • Scope of digital and new technology to improve decision-making, service provision and participation in local democratic processes;
  • How new powers and responsibilities for this tier of government are utilised to support communities.
