Morfa is an electoral ward in the town of Bridgend, Wales. The ward elects councillors to Bridgend Town Council and Bridgend County Borough Council. DescriptionThe Morfa ward is bounded by the River Ogmore to the west, Brackla Street (and part of Bridgend town centre) in the south and the line of the old railway to the east. It includes Bridgend railway station in the south and Wildmill railway station in the north.[1] The ward covers the Wildmill housing estate. According to the 2011 UK Census the population of the ward was 4,692 (with 3,774 aged 18 or over).[2] Morfa is one of three wards (with Oldcastle and Newcastle) to Bridgend Town Council, electing up to six of the nineteen town councillors.[3] Morfa is also a county ward to Bridgend County Borough Council, electing two county councillors.[4] The ward has been represented mainly by the Labour Party, but also the Liberal Democrats between 2004 and 2012. Councillor Peter Foley has represented the ward as a Labour, Liberal Democrat and, lately, an Independent councillor.[4][5] A review of the electoral wards of the county borough was launched in January 2019, including the proposal that the Morfa ward and the neighbouring Newcastle ward be merged to form a new three-councillor ward of Bridgend Central.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/election-maps/gb/ |title=Election maps |publisher=Ordnance Survey |accessdate=2 April 2019 }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ukcensusdata.com/morfa-w05000615#sthash.57qCn54I.dpbs |title=Morfa - Key Stats / Age structure|publisher=UK Census Data |accessdate=5 April 2019 }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bridgendtowncouncil.gov.uk/wards-and-councillors.aspx |title=Wards and Councillors |publisher=Bridgend Town Council |accessdate=2 April 2019 }} 4. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Bridgend-1995-2012.pdf |title=Bridgend County Borough Council Election Results 1995-2012 |publisher=The Elections Centre |accessdate=2 April 2019 }} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://oggybloggyogwr.com/2017/04/bridgend-2017-wards-to-watch/ |title=Bridgend 2017: Wards to Watch |publisher=Oggy Bloggy Ogwr |format=blog |date=27 April 2017 |accessdate=4 April 2019 }} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.glamorgan-gem.co.uk/article.cfm?id=126087&headline=Consultation%20on%20changes%20to%20BCBC%20electoral%20wards§ionIs=news&searchyear=2019 |title=Consultation on changes to BCBC electoral wards|work=Glamorgan Gem |date=28 January 2019 |accessdate=1 April 2019 }} 2 : Bridgend|Wards of Bridgend County Borough |
