Pontamman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pontamman was the name of an electoral ward for Carmarthenshire County Council, which included parts of the town and community of Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It was represented by one county councillor.
The Pontamman ward covered the town Ammanford Town Council wards of Myddynfych and Wernddu,[1] and was unique in Wales by virtue of being divided into two parts,[2] by a strip of the neighbouring ward of Ammanford.
The Wernddu ward includes the residential areas of Hopkinstown and Pontamman, as well as part of Ammanford High Street.
The population of the Pontamman ward at the 2011 census was 2,749.[3]
A 2019 boundary review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales recommended that Pontamman be merged with the Ammanford ward, to become a two-member ward called Ammanford. The change took effect from the May 2022 local elections.[2]
