2022 city ward changes

Following a boundary review by the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales, the overall number of wards increased from 20 to 21, with an overall increase in the number of city councillors from 50 to 51. The changes were effective from the 2022 local elections. [5]

Eleven wards remained unchanged. Of the remainder:

  • The community of Bishton was transferred from the Llanwern ward and merged with the Langstone ward, which was renamed Bishton and Langstone.
  • The Llanwern ward would lose the community of Bishton but gain the community of Nash from neighbouring Liswerry.
  • The Liswerry ward would lose the area of Nash, though retain its four city councillors.
  • The area of Afon Village was transferred from the Graig ward to Rogerstone West.
  • The Rogerstone ward would be divided into three new wards - Rogerstone East, Rogerstone North and Rogerstone West.
  • The Mon Bank development was transferred from the Pillgwenlly ward to Stow Hill.
  • The Tredegar Park ward would be merged with the Marshfield ward to become Tredegar Park and Marshfield.
