2022 boundary changes
[edit]Until 2022, Dunvant and Killay consisted of three wards: Dunvant represented by two councillors; Killay North and Killay South represented by one councillor each. Following a local authority ward boundary review, the three wards were merged to become 'Dunvant and Killay', with an overall reduction in councillors to three. A local petition to oppose the changes was unsuccessful.[2]
