Hendre (Bangor electoral ward)

Electoral wards in Bangor

Hendre is one of eight electoral wards in the city of Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales. The ward covers part of the city south of the city centre, including West End and Glan Adda.[1] It elects two councillors to Bangor City Council and one county councillor to Gwynedd Council.

The ward population, according to the 2011 Census, was 1,496.[2]

In the May 2017 county council election the result was a dead heat between the Plaid Cymru candidate, John Wynn Jones and Independent candidate, Richard Hughes.[3] Each candidate had received 132 votes. The returning officer 'drew lots' by pulling a name from a pot, resulting in Hughes winning the seat.[4]
