[3] The county council and news outlets continued to use the name Laugharne Township when reporting the 2022 Carmarthenshire County Council election results - though no election took place in Laugharne because there was only one candidate.
The ward has been represented by Independent councillors from the outset: Cyril Roberts[6] from 1995 and Jane Tremlett since 2004.
