ALTHOUGH elections are also being held for community councillors in Newport next month, voters will only be asked to cast votes in two areas.

Community council elections will only be held in Michaelstone-Y-Fedw – where there are nine candidates standing for seven seats – and in Rogerstone (west ward) – where there are eight candidates contesting seven seats.

In every other area there are either the same number or fewer of candidates as seats – meaning all candidates are automatically elected without a vote being held.
