Comment DBCC-8254

I live in Swansea East and under your proposals, the name of Swansea will be totally erased from the English version of the new constituency. You have retained the English versions of Swansea West, Neath (a much smaller location than Swansea) and Gower but not Swansea East. Swansea East should be retained in the English version of the new constituency. This is my home and the vast majority of residents in this area do not speak Welsh and may well feel disenfranchised because of the total erasure of Swansea East.
I also strongly disagree with the idea of one very large constituency, which goes all the way up to the Welsh Marches! How can a MS properly represent people from Swansea, Neath and Mid-Wales? The area is simply too large!
