Canton (Cardiff electoral ward)

The current Canton ward is bordered to the north by the Pencisely Road, to the west by the River Ely and stretching as far south as the Cardiff City Stadium.

Labour's Russell Goodway was the representative until the 1991 election (when he became councillor for the Glan Ely ward).

At the final elections of the county borough on 7 May 1970, Canton's Conservative councillor Trevor Tyrrell successfully held his seat with a 382 majority over the Labour candidate.

[11] At the first full elections to Cardiff County Borough Council on 1 November 1889, Canton was one of only two wards to hold a contest.

The two sitting Liberal Party councillors retained the seat with a healthy majority, against what the local newspaper described as a "so-called Independent" candidate.
