Election results

Town Council

Three Labour councillors were elected to Barry Town Council at the May 2017 elections. Long serving councillor (and former Labour leader and town mayor) Jane Andrews died in January 2018[4] leading to a by-election on 24 May 2018.

County Council

At every county election since 1995 the Cadoc ward elected three Labour Party councillors to the Vale of Glamorgan Council.[5] In May 2017, reflecting the growth in the Conservative vote in the county, one of the seats was won by the Conservative Party.[6]

In 2022 the number of county councillors was increased to four, as a result of recommendations from the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales.[7]
