Hayle South (electoral division)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hayle South (Cornish: Heyl Soth)[1] was an electoral division of Cornwall in the United Kingdom which returned one member to sit on Cornwall Council between 2009 and 2021. It was abolished at the 2021 local elections, being succeeded by Gwinear-Gwithian and Hayle East and Hayle West.
A ward of the same name returned one member to Cornwall County Council between 1985 and 2005, when it was merged into the Hayle-Gwinear-Gwithian division.[2]
