Llantwit Major (electoral ward)

In 2022 St Donats community was transferred to the St Brides Major ward, as a result of recommendations from the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales. However, Llantwit Major retained four county councillors.^[3]

All four sitting Llantwit First councillors retained their seats.^[4]

At the May 2017 County Council elections all four seats were won by candidates standing as Llantwit First Independents, increasing their numbers by one.^[5]

Following the 2012 election Llantwit First Independent councillor Eric Hacker was elected as mayor of the county council for the ensuing 12 months.^[7] Llantwit First Independents supported the minority Labour Group to give Labour a majority control of the county council.^[5] Councillor Keith Geary died on 4 January 2015, leaving a seat vacant.^[8]

At the by-election on 26 March 2015 the vacant seat was won by Tony Bennett for the Conservatives, by 12 votes.^[9]
