Governance

Ebbw Vale South is also an electoral ward, coterminous with the community,[2] which elects two councillors to Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council.

A few days after being elected as an Independent councillor for the ward at the 2022 local election, Carl Bainton caused some controversy by changing his allegiance to Labour.[3] The ward was subsequently represented by two Labour councillors.
