Ebbw Vale South (Welsh : De Glynebwy) is a community and electoral ward in Blaenau Gwent, South Wales, including the south of the town of Ebbw Vale.

It was formed in 2010 from part of that community. [1] The population in 2011 was 4,274.

Governance

Ebbw Vale South is also an electoral ward, coterminous with the community, [2] which elects two councillors to Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council.

A few days after being elected as an Independent councillor for the ward at the 2022 local election, Carl Bainton caused some controversy by changing his allegiance to Labour. [3] The ward was subsequently represented by two Labour councillors.
