Llanelli Bigyn

Bigyn is an electoral ward in the town of Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is a mainly residential area with a mix of terraced streets, local shops, primary schools, churches and community halls. The A484 and regular bus routes provide straightforward links to Llanelli town centre and neighbouring towns. The ward sits within the footprint of Llanelli’s industrial era: some roads and housing patterns reflect the layout that grew up around former works and yards, and small pockets of commercial premises still serve trades linked to that past.

Local governance is delivered through councillors on Carmarthenshire County Council and representatives to Llanelli Town Council, with polling and community meetings held in neighbourhood halls. Public green spaces and playing fields offer everyday recreation and allotments support local growing projects. Day-to-day services such as convenience stores, social clubs and a handful of light industrial units meet local needs, while the wider town centre — with its market, larger shops and transport connections — is a short journey away for broader services and employment.
