From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blaenau Gwent is a county borough in the south-east of Wales. It is one of the 22 principal areas of Wales.
Communities are the lowest tier of local government in Wales. Unlike English counties, which often contain unparished areas, all Welsh principal areas are entirely divided into communities.
There are 12 communities in Blaenau Gwent since the creation of Garnlydan in 2021, with Tredegar being both the largest and the most populated one. Five of them have a community council: Brynmawr (town council), Nantyglo and Blaina (town council), Tredegar (town council), and Abertillery and Llanhilleth (who share a single community council).[1]
