Background

Following The County Borough of The Vale of Glamorgan (Electoral Changes) Order 2002 the county ward of Alexandra was divided to become St Augustine's and Plymouth wards, effective from October 2003 for preliminary electoral proceedings, but fully effective at the May 2004 Vale of Glamorgan Council elections. However, Plymouth had been a community ward for elections to Penarth Town Council prior to that.[2]
