Wendron (Cornish: Gwendron)[1] was an electoral division of Cornwall in the United Kingdom which returned one member to sit on Cornwall Council from 2009 to 2013. From 2009 until his death in 2011,[2] Mike Clayton represented the division as an Independent. Loveday Jenkin, the former leader of Mebyon Kernow and the runner up in the 2009 election,[3] won the ensuing by-election and represented the division until it was abolished in 2013.
The division covered 7,144 hectares (17,650 acres) in total.[4] It was abolished by the Cornwall (Electoral Changes) Order 2011,[5] and Jenkin went on to be elected as Councillor for Crowan and Wendron.[6]
