A by-election is being held in the Penyrheol, Trecenydd, and Energlyn ward

Polls are open in the Penyrheol, Trecenydd, and Energlyn council by-election.

Voters are electing a new councillor to represent the area on Caerphilly County Borough Council.

The candidates standing in the council by-election are:

  • James Bevan – Reform UK
  • Brandon Gorman – Welsh Conservatives
  • Mary Lloyd – Welsh Liberal Democrats
  • Aneurin Minton – Plaid Cymru
  • Keiran Russell – Welsh Labour

Polls opened at 7am on Thursday December 11, and will remain open until 10pm.
