Concerns have been raised after the number of candidates putting their name up for election at town and community council level in Bridgend were revealed to be significantly lower than in the last local government election.
A total of 31 of the 49 town and community council wards in Bridgend County Borough were uncontested this year. During the 2017 local government elections, 16 wards at community and town council level were uncontested.
Only Brackla Community Council, Bridgend Town Council and Cornelly Community Council have enough candidates for a full election in May.
