Closer to home — the council that serves your community
Laleston Community Council is the first and closest tier of local government for the communities of Laleston, Broadlands, Cefn Glas and Bryntirion. We sit between residents and Bridgend County Borough Council, representing the local voice on planning, public services, community projects and local spending.
We are made up of 13 elected councillors serving three wards, and deliver our work through four committees. We manage two community venues, run a grant programme for local groups, and deliver the Council’s biodiversity obligations under the Environment (Wales) Act 2016.

What we offer the community
From venue hire to grant applications, these are the services the Council provides for residents and local groups.
Agendas, minutes, and committee decisions
Every agenda, minute and supplementary report, grouped by year and month. Documents are published in advance of the meeting and replaced with the draft minutes shortly afterwards.
Full Council meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7pm in Blandy Hall, Laleston — located to the rear of Cliff Cottage, behind the Post Office and adjacent to St David’s Church.
Laleston has a deeper historical footprint than most communities of its size. The village name itself comes from the Norman Lageles family who settled here after the Norman conquest of Glamorgan.
That medieval past is still visible — from St David’s Church, Grade I Listed with 13th-century elements, to the Stones Trail preserving the entrance of a lost 11th-century churchyard.
