Trowbridge is an electoral ward in the east of Cardiff, capital city of Wales. It covers the working class residential community of Trowbridge, which also includes the modern suburb of St Mellons. Created in 1983, the ward has elected mainly Labour Party councillors to the local Cardiff authority.
The Trowbridge ward is bordered to the west by the Rumney ward, to the east by the Newport ward of Tredegar Park and Marshfield, and to the south by the Bristol Channel.[2] It includes the suburbs of Trowbridge and St Mellons, the Shirenewton caravan site and the hamlet of Newton.
It was created by The City of Cardiff (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1982 which came into effect from the May 1983 Cardiff City Council election.[3]
