Glanamman (electoral ward)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glanamman is the name of an electoral ward for Carmarthenshire County Council, in the Amman Valley, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is represented by one county councillor.
The Glanamman county ward covers the Cwmamman community wards of Grenig and Tircoed,[1] which include the areas north and south of the village of Glanamman. The eastern half of Cwmamman is covered by the Garnant ward.[2] The population of Glanamman ward at the 2011 census was 2,347.[3]
A 2019 boundary review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales recommended ward boundaries remain the same, but the name of the ward be changed from Glanamman to Glanaman, the standard Welsh spelling. The change was to take effect from the May 2022 local elections.[4] However, the county council and news outlets continued to use the name Glanamman when reporting the 2022 Carmarthenshire County Council election.[5][6]
