A council by-election will be held in Ynysybwl this week following the death of its previous recently-elected councillor. The ballot is being held on Thursday, September 29 after the previous councillor, Plaid Cymru’s Tony Burnell, died just months after being elected in May.
There are five candidates for the seat on Rhondda Cynon Taf Council including Jeffrey Lee Baxter of The Green Party, Paula Evans of Plaid Cymru, Richard John Flowerdew of Labour, Lloyd Griffiths of the Conservatives and Jessica Joan O’Donovan of Gwlad – The Welsh Independence Party. Polling will take place between 7am and 10pm on the day and polling stations include Craig yr Hesg Primary School on Cefn Lane in Glyncoch, Zion English Baptist Chapel on Robert Street in Ynysybwl and Ynysybwl Community Day Centre on Windsor Place in Ynysybwl.
Here is what they told us about themselves.
