For those interested in Llantwit Major history, a book I'd not seen before has just turned up on the Internet Archive, about 5th century Llantwit Major. Nothing I'd not heard locally, but a useful summary and some photos from the late 19th century which may be of interest.

Good morning #train fans. Here I am at #LlantwitMajor station, and here’s my usual commuter train to work - scruffy old class 150…but I’m not going to work today, where shall I go instead? 1/n

Sarah Murphy tops Labour’s Senedd candidate list for Pen‑y‑Bont Bro Morgannwg
Latest polling suggests Labour are likely to secure two of the six seats in this constituency at the 2026 Senedd election.
Sitting Bridgend MS heads the slate
First on the list is Sarah Murphy, who has represented Bridgend in the Senedd since 2021. She previously worked as Head of Events for Welsh Labour, Research Analyst for Lee Waters AM, and Communications Manager for Anna McMorrin MP. Before her election she chaired Sustainable Wales, a Porthcawl‑based charity supporting community‑led sustainable development.
Former council leader takes second place
Second is Huw David OBE, the former leader of Bridgend County Borough Council between 2016 and 2024. He was awarded an OBE for public service and his contribution to local government in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2022.
Vale deputy mayor ranked third
Third on the list is Carys Stallard, a former BBC journalist who now serves as Labour councillor for St Brides Major on the Vale of Glamorgan Council. She is currently Deputy Mayor of the Vale of Glamorgan, chairs the Glamorgan Heritage Coast Advisory Group, and sits on the Place Scrutiny and Planning Committees.

Trade union organiser joins the slate
Fourth is Jonathan Cox, a trade unionist and community organiser who founded Citizens Cymru Wales. A former adviser to David Miliband MP, he says he has worked with Mark Drakeford MS on the Real Living Wage in social care, with Jane Hutt MS to welcome Syrian refugees to the Vale, and with Carwyn Jones MS to introduce the Real Living Wage in Welsh Government.
Bridgend councillor takes fifth spot
Fifth is Jon‑Paul Blundell, a Bridgend councillor for the Cefn‑Glas ward. He chairs the Communities, Environment and Housing Overview and Scrutiny Committee and was previously Cabinet Member for Education.
Barry councillor and wellbeing champion ranked sixth
Sixth on the list is Helen Payne, a Vale of Glamorgan councillor for the Cadoc ward in Barry. She was previously Projects Manager for Llamau, supporting vulnerable young people. Payne is the council’s Mental Wellbeing Champion, chairs the Investigating Committee, and serves as Vice Chair of the Start Well Scrutiny Committee.
Former cabinet member joins at seven
Seventh is Rhys Goode, a councillor for the Nant‑y‑moel ward on Bridgend Council. He has served as Cabinet Member for Housing, Planning & Regeneration (2023–24) and Cabinet Member for Wellbeing & Future Generations (2022–23). Goode was Head of Terrence Higgins Trust Cymru from 2022 to 2024, and has held senior communications roles at Klana and JustGiving.
Porthcawl councillor completes the list
Eighth is Neelo Farr, a trade unionist and councillor for Porthcawl on Bridgend Council. She is Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Economic Development and Housing, with a professional background as a mental health social worker.
Constituency boundaries
Pen‑y‑Bont Bro Morgannwg is one of 16 new Senedd “super constituencies” created for the 2026 election. It combines the Bridgend and Vale of Glamorgan parliamentary areas, covering major towns including Bridgend, Barry, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major, Pencoed and Porthcawl. The constituency will elect six Members of the Senedd under the new proportional voting system.
Electoral outlook
While Murphy heads the slate, Labour’s prospects in Pen‑y‑Bont Bro Morgannwg are limited. Polling suggests the party is in line for just two seats in this constituency, with Plaid Cymru and Reform UK also competing strongly as Labour’s support edges back.

A big turn out on the Ramblers walk today with around 25 completing the circular walk out of Llantwit Major, to Marcross following the coast path back. Plenty of stiles and hazy far reaching views across the Vale and sea. #Seaviews #LlanilltudFawr #Geology #Wales #Cymru #Ramblers #Marcross #Vale #LlantwitMajor #Cerdded

Transport for Wales have a fleet of new trains, but I haven’t been on one yet - they’re not running out to #LlantwitMajor yet. Let’s see if my luck is in. My constant companion today is, of course, #RealTimeTrains which usually lists the rolling stock. Not this time tho. 6/n

In a rest day from my bike today, so walked out of my front door for a lap down to the Bristol Channel coast. Hot, but cloudy, loads to see, not many people #Cymru #Glamorgan #LlantwitMajor

Ticked off another short section of the #WalesCoastalPath today, Not the prettiest start at #Aberthaw #PowerStation, but photographic in it's own way. A giant Rubik Cube and Die was a surprise spot, before the usual impressive coastal views of the #Glamorgan #HeritageCoast kicked in. Finished at #LlantwitMajor #beach

Took a short walk this morning from #NashPoint to #ColHuwPoint (aka ##LlantwitMajor #Beach). It's a great section of the #WalesCoastalPath with a #Lighthouse #WW2 #PillBox(es), the famous #StDonatsCastle and, of course, some great views.

At last, after a long wait, our swifts (Apus apus) are back. Here in the UK, these birds are in critical decline. Ours arrived ten? years ago nesting in a hole in the eaves. The eves got repaired, so we added three nest boxes. Here’s the central box hosting a pair of birds. Their screams are the essence of summer. #Swifts #LlantwitMajor #Cymru #Wales

Here’s a niche Toot. Christmas tree recycling in #LlantwitMajor will be on Tuesday 17th from this specific part of the station car park:

A first walk after the frost down to the coast and back. The wind is has south in it for the first time in more than a week, and the fulmars were loving it, messing around in the up draughts. A buzzard joined in later. #Fulmar #Glamorgan #LlantwitMajor
