Llangyfelach is an electoral ward in the county of Swansea, Wales, UK. It covers the communities of Llangyfelach and part of Mawr.[1]
The electoral ward consists of some or all of the following settlements: Llangyfelach, Pantlasau, Treboeth and Felindre, in the parliamentary constituency of Gower. The ward is bounded by the ward of Clydach to the east; Morriston, Mynydd-Bach and Penderry to the south east; Pontarddulais to te west; Pontlliw and Tircoed and Penllergaer to the south west.
Following a local government boundary review the Llangyfelach ward significantly increased in size. Though it lost Pontlliw and Tircoed (which together became a new ward) it gained the community ward of Felindre from the former Mawr ward (which was disbanded).[2]
