Glyn y Marl
Glyn y Marl is an electoral ward in Conwy County Borough, Wales. It covers the town of Llandudno Junction in the community of Conwy. It was created in 2022.
Description
The Glyn y Marl electoral ward was created following a ward boundary review, which recommended the merger of the former Marl ward with the neighbouring Pensarn ward. Because these two wards covered the urban area of Llandudno Junction, it was initially proposed to name the new ward after the town. However, Conwy County Borough Council suggested an alternative name that was traditional to the area, and it was agreed to call the ward Glyn y Marl in both English and Welsh. The new arrangements were effective from the 2022 Conwy County Borough Council election.The ward had a electorate of 5,708.
