Brackla East and Coychurch Lower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brackla East and Coychurch Lower (Welsh: Dwyrain Brackla a Llangrallo Isaf) is an electoral ward in Bridgend County Borough, Wales. It covers the community of Coychurch Lower and part of the community of Brackla. The ward elects two councillors to Bridgend County Borough Council.
The 'Brackla East and Coychurch Lower' ward was created following the recommendations of a 2019 local government boundary review by the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales. This recommended the merger of the former county ward of Coychurch Lower and Brackla's neighbouring community council ward of Brackla East. The boundary review predicted an electorate of 3,375.[1]
Concerns were expressed by Coychurch Lower Community Council that the new ward would be dominated by the larger population of Brackla East.[1]
The changes came into effect from the 2022 local elections.[2]
