1989–1996

Following The County of Mid Glamorgan (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1988 the number of wards were increased to 74, taking effect from the 1989 elections (and preparatory activity beforehand).[2] Each ward elected one county councillor to Mid Glamorgan Council, totalling 74.[1]

Mid Glamorgan was divided into local government districts (often with borough status), namely Borough of Cynon Valley,[3] Borough of Merthyr Tydfil,[4] Borough of Ogwr,[5] Borough of Rhondda,[6] District of Rhymney Valley[7] and Borough of Taff-Ely.[8] These also had their own elected borough or district council.
