A new electoral ward called Waterfront was created, effective from the
2022 Welsh local elections, following a local government boundary review. The ward was formed using parts of the neighbouring
Castle and
St Thomas wards. The Waterfront ward elects one councillor to Swansea Council. At the
2022 Swansea Council elections,
Liberal Democrat Sam Bennett was elected as county councillor, with 60% of the vote. ==References==
