Rhoose is the name of an electoral ward in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, which covers its namesake village, Rhoose, as well as Penmark and the neighbouring community of Llancarfan. The ward elects three county councillors to the Vale of Glamorgan Council. [1]
According to the 2011 census the population of the ward was 6,907. [2]
In 2022 the community of Llancarfan was transferred to a new ward as a result of recommendations from the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales. Despite the area of the Rhoose ward halving, it gained an additional county councillor. [3]
A by-election was due to take place on 14 February 2019 following the resignation of Councillor Matthew Lloyd over the council's plans to move Llancarfan Primary School to a new building in Rhoose. [4] Candidates included the sitting Conservative Wales Assembly Member, Andrew RT Davies. [5] Davies won the election and pledged to oppose the plans of his fellow Conservative councillors to close the local Llancarfan Primary School. He had no plans to stand down from his Assembly seat.
